De ce acces timpuriu?

„We want to provide much more Loch Ness content and an Early Access release will help us, as a small team of recently graduated students, sustain development for longer and create better content.

We also want to involve players and the community in our next steps to create the best game for them we can.”

Cum intenționezi să implici comunitatea în procesul tău de dezvoltare?

„We vehemently welcome any players to join our community on Discord and our other social media channels to give us direct feedback, but we will also be very receptive to feedback in reviews.
