Early Access Review
I'm blown away
This game has potential, and I'm excited to see how the updates come an roll out!

The Good
First of, thank you for a native linux build. I would love to see more builds that work with linux or are built for linux right out of the gate! Having decent controller support and allowing bindings is also really nice, it's great to be able to setup my HOTAS and Joysticks to my liking!

The color customization on the plane feel fun, and it allows me to make my plane feel more personalized. It's very enjoyable!

The Bad
Being early access, I was expecting a small amount of content. However, the framework you present here seems very easily expandable, and I think that it'll become even better when more content is added! To keep it short, the base gameplay loop presented is very engaging right now, but it's missing the pre and post fluff that would make the game more interesting.

Joystick bindings still need some work. I was able to get most of my axis bound without any sort of workaround, but I needed to abuse Input Remapper in order to get the final set of controls properly bound.

Please add in autosaves. I CTD'd after loading up cargo on another island and lost all of my color customization and aircraft. I think saves after before/after master battery go on and off would be a great way to implement them.

What's next
I'm not sure :p

I'd say, focus on adding content before working on the more minor grievances that we have. Maybe working on fine tuning joystick support with dampening and working on adding in, but other than that, the world ish your oyster! (Or Islands are your oysters... I don't think that works)
