I totally agree with your opinion, this kind of development option is only suitable for early alpha version to show the prototype to players and possible patreons. But the game is already 7 years old, and as I correctly understood the developer moved to UE5, only how to see all these graphical innovations? Let's say lumens, foliage, AO and so on)You must be registered to see the links, essentially it's a rough draft of the level layout because adding loads of detail before your level design is finalised is likely to be wasted effort when changes are expected in later iterations.
Not sure if I agree with its widespread use in an early access model, given that the idea is to produce frequent shippable builds, but then tbh the alternative isn't exactly a great idea from a development perspective either. If you want a better of idea of what they're aiming for try the Steam demo, if you want a polished and playable game you'll need to wait a year or two at least.
I certainly added the game to Steam in the vishlist, and as I understand the more reasonable support for the developer is to wait for the release and buy the game... probably not for myself, but for my future children
