Почему ранний доступ?

«Merk Mayhem is in Early Access to allow players to experience the fundamentals of the game before its full release and to provide valuable feedback to the developers. This allows the development team to make improvements, add features, and adjust gameplay mechanics based on community input. Early Access also helps to build a community around the game before its full release, which can lead to increased visibility and sales. It's a way for the developers to engage with their audience and make a better game overall.»

Изменится ли цена игры после выхода из раннего доступа?

Как вы планируете вовлекать сообщество в разработку игры?

«We plan on sourcing community feedback to help make our game the best it can be! We have already launched a community poll on our website!

By actively seeking and considering feedback, the development team can identify and address issues or concerns, add features that the community wants, and adjust gameplay mechanics to create a more enjoyable experience.

This approach can also help build a more engaged and invested community around the game, which can lead to more word-of-mouth promotion and increasee the playerbase. Overall, involving the community in the development process can be a win-win for both the players and the team behind the game.»
