Varför Early Access?

“Early Access gives me the opportunity to share the game with a wide audience to gather support and feedback as I'm creating the game. The format of the game has made it well suited to Early Access, allowing me to get the base mechanics in place and then polish them up over time.”

Hur planerar ni att involvera gemenskapen i er utvecklingsprocess?

“Community feedback will be taken into consideration every step of the way. While I plan to keep a strong vision for how the game will shape up, I want to be very responsive to whether or not players are enjoying themselves and feeling satisfied with the game they're playing. Please don't be shy to opt into the beta branch of the game through Steam and share your thoughts about the future direction of the game.”
