Worry not readers early access isn't all doom and gloom. Maia's developer Simon Roth has created a blog post letting us all know just how healthy the game development is right now.
It's really great to see more developers talk about their finances openly like this, as it really helps to build trust with your gamer audience. I hope more early access developers make posts like this to address concerns from their supporters.

Maia is a colony building game set in the not-so-distant future. Your colonists make planetfall on a hostile world and you must ensure their survival and their safety, constructing their off-world habitat from almost nothing and sheltering them from a dangerous, often deadly environment.
I've played around with Maia and it has the basics there to make a quality game, so it I look forward to seeing how it progresses with great interesting. You should all known by now how much I like space sci-fi stuff.
Now, be a good little gamer and go pick up a copy of Maia. Watch out for space chickens.
