Hvorfor tidlig tilgang?

«Showing Word Turtle Island both privately and publicly, I see how folks are out there and want to get involved. To play it sooner, share reactions and have a voice in how it develops. The game is ready enough to publish and start gathering a community of support and make the game better through the feedback that early access makes possible.

I plan to keep developing this solo, but with growing a community I know I won’t be alone making this such a fun action and chill game of rescuing books and readers.»
