How are you planning on involving the Community in your development process?

“Since Visage is the first game developed by SadSquare Studio, the Early Access version of the game will provide us with valuable and much needed data to finalize developments.Visage is hard in ways that could be unexpected coming from a modern game. Information on the game mechanics is scarce, and is designed to be that way, in an attempt to create a more immersive experience. Such difficulties could potentially prevent the modern player from enjoying the game at its fullest. The Early Access will help us gather critical information on exactly how we should approach the game's difficulty.It will help us gather general feedback from both the players that already enjoy the more slow-paced, atmospheric horror genre, and the players that join in out of curiosity. This feedback will help us mold the final experience into something that all players can enjoy.On to a more technical topic. We have tested the game on multiple hardware specifications, and the tests revealed positive results, but being a newly founded studio with little experience, we want to be absolutely positive that the game runs well on all hardware that meets the determined minimal hardware specifications.It will help bring more coffee on the developers' desk.”“We plan the game to be in an Early Access state for at least 4 months. Content will be added as it is finalized.Our initial 4 months estimate was off by quite a lot. After 8 months, the second chapter is finally coming in Early Access. We still expect the Early Access to run for another 4 months *at least*, once again.”“Content such as the following will be added to the Early Access as it is finalized:“The Early Access provides the player with content that represents approximately 4 to 6 hours of game time. The player has limited access to the environment and is able to play one chapter out of four in total.The Early Access now provides the player with content that represents approximately 8 to 12 hours of game time. Two chapters are now available.It is likely that saved progress will be reset on final release. If there are no bugs associated with keeping the save files, there will not be any reset. Note that the non-linear nature of the final release will make losing progress almost non-consequential.”“Since the Early Access version of the game comes with limited content, it will be cheaper for a limited time. Customers should expect the price to raise on, or before, release.”“We will actively seek feedback from players on all platforms, ranging from Steam forums, e-mails, and social medias. With that information, as mentioned more thoroughly in "Why Early Access?", we will shape the final experience into a product that can be enjoyed by everyone.”
