Why Early Access?

“Why Early Access?

1. Community Feedback:
Early Access allows us to gather valuable feedback from players while the game is still in development. This feedback is crucial in helping us identify what players enjoy, what needs improvement, and any issues that may not have been apparent during internal testing.

2. Iterative Development:
By releasing "World Shadow" in Early Access, we can iterate on the game based on real-world data and player experiences. This iterative approach ensures that we can fine-tune gameplay mechanics, balance the game effectively, and add features that players want.

3. Building a Strong Community:
Launching in Early Access helps us build a dedicated community of players who are passionate about the game. Engaging with our community early on allows us to create a loyal player base that feels invested in the game's development and success.

4. Identifying and Fixing Bugs:
No matter how thorough internal testing is, real players often discover bugs and issues that developers might miss. Early Access provides a larger testing pool, helping us identify and fix bugs more efficiently to ensure a polished final release.

Early Access gives us an opportunity to gauge interest and demand for "World Shadow." Player engagement and feedback can help us make informed decisions about future content, features, and updates, ensuring we prioritize what matters most to our audience.
