Players who join us during the Early Access phase will have the opportunity to provide feedback on various aspects of the game, from storyline and character development, to gameplay mechanics and visuals. Regular surveys and polls will be conducted to gather player opinion on specific features, content updates and overall satisfaction. We will share developer diaries and updates to keep the community informed about our progress, challenges, and upcoming features. This transparency will build trust and keep players engaged throughout the development process.

We plan to collaborate with content creators and influencers to showcase the game and gather broader feedback. This will also help spread the word about "Xoru: The Nightmare Wars" and attract new players.

We will set up dedicated forums and a Discord server where players can discuss the game, share their thoughts, and interact directly with the development team. This will foster a sense of community and provide a platform for open communication.
