¿Por qué ofreces acceso anticipado?

«We're releasing our game Early Access because we want to involve our community in the final stages of development. Most importantly, audience reactions can give us critical feedback regarding difficulty level, the characters we've created, and the overall flow of the game in ways that we have only been able to guess at up to this point.

That is to say: Please come and play our game! Have fun with it! Break it! And then tell us about it.»

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

«The community is our audience; your reactions and suggestions are the most important thing we can pay attention to during Early Access. Indeed, during our first alpha release at the Portland Retro Gaming Expo, we pushed no fewer than 6 builds because there was so much great feedback from players.

We not only welcome feedback from our Early Access community but explicitly ask you all to let us know what works, what doesn't work, what you love, and what drives you nuts about CreateTech; this is how we can change things for the better! If you've got playtesting feedback, the best way to get it to us is to email us directly at playtest@foxtopusgames.com»
