早期アクセスにした理由

“Ferrous is designed as an evolving, customizable wargaming platform, and Early Access allows us to refine and expand its features with direct community input. Key aspects, such as modding support and custom campaign tools, are still in development, and Early Access enables us to fine-tune these features based on player feedback. Additionally, we have plans for future expansions (DLC), and gameplay refinements that fit better as free updates rather than DLC, making Early Access the ideal model for our release.”
