Alterium Shift is entering Early Access for several reasons. At the forefront, we aim to provide our community with a robust gameplay experience that extends beyond a simple demo. We're also enthusiastic about receiving and implementing player feedback, helping us to refine and polish the game's mechanics, world, and story.

However, there's another layer to our decision to launch Early Access. As a passionate two-person team, we've dedicated countless hours to making Alterium Shift the best game it can be, and we've reached a point where additional funding can profoundly enhance the depth and scope of our game. We view Early Access as a partnership opportunity with our community - not only does it offer players an early look at the game, but it also provides us with the means to further realize our vision for Alterium Shift.

Instead of launching a Kickstarter and diverting time and energy away from development, we've chosen to focus on the game itself. In this way, Early Access becomes our Kickstarter of sorts, offering immediate value to our supporters. We see it as a win-win: players enjoy the early access to Alterium Shift, and we gain the ability to continue enriching and expanding it to match our ultimate vision.

Let's be clear, this is not a plea for charity. Rather, it's an invitation to join us on this journey. Your support helps us bring the world of Alterium Shift to life, and we're excited about what we can achieve together. »
