Pourquoi choisir l'accès anticipé ?

« Releasing a game on Steam in Early Access can be an effective way to receive feedback from a larger audience and make improvements to the game before its official release. This feedback can help us identify areas of the game that need improvement or tweaking and make changes based on player feedback.
Early Access can also help build a community around the game. By engaging with players during the development process, we can create a sense of excitement and anticipation around the game's release. This can lead to increased interest and word-of-mouth marketing, which can help drive sales once the game is fully released.
Finally, Early Access can help us test different marketing strategies, such as pricing and promotional efforts, to see what resonates with players. By experimenting with different approaches, we can gain insights into what works and what doesn't, which can be helpful for future game releases. »

Comment comptez-vous impliquer la communauté dans le processus de développement ?

« One common way to involve the community is through open communication channels, such as social media or community forums. We will use these channels to share updates on the game's progress, seek feedback on specific features or elements, and answer player questions.
Another way to involve the community is through playtesting. In Early Access players can test the game and provide feedback. This can help identify any issues or bugs that need to be addressed before the game is released.
We may also involve the community in the creation of content. For example, a game may later have a map editor or modding tools, allowing players to create their own levels, characters, or items. These community-created assets can then be added to the game, providing players with a richer and more diverse experience.
Overall, involving the community in the development of a game can help create a sense of ownership and investment among players, as well as provide valuable feedback and ideas to help make the game the best it can be.
At the moment, on all issues, complaints, sentences and ideas, the community of the game can contact us through the official Discord channel Novalink, through the feedback form on the game website, or sending an appeal by mail. »
