De ce Acces Timpuriu ?

„As a procedural and replayable game, Arcticide will benefit greatly from careful balancing and from the addition of new content and features. A gradual, iterative, and community-focused development phase is the best way to incorporate such additions, and Early Access is the ideal vehicle for this. Ultimately, a period of Early Access development will allow the game to be the best it possibly can be upon full release.

As well, Arcticide will change and improve significantly during the first year of release, so having it labelled as Early Access makes this more transparent and clear to potential players.”

Feedback will also be solicited on performance and general design considerations. Community involvement methods will include the use of tools such as surveys and polls, as well as more informal discussion. The primary places for community interaction will be the Steam discussion forum, Discord, and Twitter/X. As well, regular development progress posts will be posted in these places as well as in the Steam announcement page.”
