¿Cómo tienes planeado involucrar a la comunidad en tu proceso de desarrollo?

«We plan on involving the community by getting as much constructive feedback as possible to improve the game. We are looking for feedback on all elements of the game but primarily gameplay mechanics, controls, and ship customization. We are also very interested in feedback from those who use a controller or joystick setup as it is difficult for us to test across many different devices.

We will be primarily using the Steam Community as our means of communication between players and us as it is the easiest and most accessible form of communication being built directly into the Steam platform.»
