De ce Acces Timpuriu ?

„Flock of Dogs is divided into two main experiences: the Minigame Park and the Flight to the Festival.

Upon release in Early Access, only the Minigame Park will be available and provide a way to test the stability of the game. My thinking is that network desycncs and game crashes during short, silly minigames short, silly minigames won't be as frustratring as losing a 1-hr run in the Flight to the Festival roguelike due to my mistakes as a prorgrammer.

Over the course of Early Access, bugs will be fixed, some new minigames will be made, and the Flight to the Festival will be released.

I really want the network experience and the ease of playing with your friends to be as smooth as possible. However, it will not be that way from the start and if you play during Early Access, I ask that you understand that and help me make it better.”
