Miksi Early Access?

Paranoid American is a small indie publisher of comics and games, and relies on building a fanbase from other platforms like Steam. Early Access provides a way to release the game in early stages to get feedback from the most passionate players, before a final mass release.

We're hoping to use Early Access both to help keep momentum during the production process, and also to build up a larger audience over the development cycle.

Millä tavoin lopullinen versio tulee eroamaan Early Access -versiosta?
