Jak zamierzacie włączyć społeczność w wasz proces tworzenia?

„The Airship Commander team are playtest extremists. We believe there's nothing more important to crafting a special game than spending as much time as possible playing it.

After spending hundreds of hours with a game though developers can become desensitized. We accrue so much experience that our "eyes get stale". Key to assessing a game is first time experience feedback and early access gives us a much larger stable of "fresh eyes" playtesters.”
