Почему ранний доступ?

«There are still major updates and features that I want to add to Boink. I am also still in a state of balancing a game that has as many numbers as this, so I am still making significant tweaks to gameplay.

This game started as a weekend challenge to make a game, to a non-consecutive 7 months to refine it down and get it into the state that it is in now. While it has been a significant hurdle for me to get it onto Steam, this is just the starting point of Boink development. I eventually want to lay out Phases of features I want to add, to both serve as milestones for development, and to let the community know the direction Boink is heading in.»

Как вы планируете вовлекать сообщество в разработку игры?
