Miksi Early Access?

Enchantress was chosen to be a Final Major Project for University. Considering development has been over a course of 3-4 months, it is missing content that would put the game to its completed potential. This allows a continuation for development after the initial release as the specific concept requires a level of skill to obtain. Labelling for EA will resolve the current state of the game.

Miten yhteisö otetaan mukaan kehitysprosessiin?

The use of community feedback is a strong requirement to assist int the completion of Enchantress. I want to ensure players that this not the latest masterpiece, but the beginning of one. I would strongly accept feedback from you playing Enchantress and seeing what else can come from this.

I will use a range of techniques to recieve player feedback. Such as providing online surveys that will be posted on the community page. I will also start online blogging to ensure regular updates are shared with the use of YouTube and Tumblr.

Should any playthroughs involve bugs, It would be duly noted if anyone can provide evidence via screenshots, videos or descriptions. preferrably media based as I learn better visually. This will be my point of contact.
