Почему ранний доступ?

«Given that Abatron is a work in progress we believe that by using the community that early access provides, the game will evolve beyond our greatest expectations! By being as transparent as possible with our open development, we think the player community will become involved and contribute ideas that shape the final version of the game. A game that rts and fps players can enjoy together.»

Как вы планируете вовлекать сообщество в разработку игры?

«We have an active developer Slack group http://abatrongame.slack.com along with a Trello roadmap at Early Access Launch that keeps us in constant communication with our Abatron community. Intense interaction by the team and the supporters doesn't stop there. We are available on most social media outlets as well as here on Steam.

We plan to work closely with the community through polls and open discussions in an effort to shape and define Abatron's gameplay. If you’re a fan of dev tv, we are doing frequent twitch streams for updates and playtests. Join us on the Abatron Journey!»
