However, the slow progress led to negative reviews and rumors that the title had become vaporware. It did better than the studio thought it would so production continued and the scope expanded even further. When it became apparent that it was not going to meet its 2014 release date, an early beta of Darkwood launched on Steam Early Access instead. "It wasn't an easy ride, in fact, to be honest, each of us went through at least one nervous breakdown during the development process." Production was expected to be complete in a year although scope creep and others issues delayed progress significantly. The devs admit that none of them had any experience in game design when they started in 2013. The game's development was rocky, to say the least. Their image gallery, which contains 17 pictures of the team, concept art and screenshots of Darkwood, tells the story of the developers and explains their reasoning behind posting the torrent for their game. To say Polish developer Acid Wizard is a small indie studio might be an understatement - it is really just "three guys (and a dog)" as the devs put it on their Imgur page. However, the studio is already making a name for itself by doing something that is unprecedented in the video game industry it posted a torrent for its one and only game, Darkwood, on The Pirate Bay. It is a small independent game developer with only one game under its belt which was released quietly only a little over a week ago. It would not be surprising at all if you have never heard of Acid Wizard Studio until now.
