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

As a self-funded small indie dev studio, there is only so much decision making you can do before you get into a certain tunnel vision.Early access allows me to involve the community throughout the last part of our development. While the early access version will have all core-systems in place and more than 50% content of the full release it is my belief that implementing that last 50% is something we should involve the community with.I believe that Early access should not be a way to seek funding to finish a game but a way to actively engage the community and better the game.Defense corp - Earth is aiming to be a shooter where skill matters, in order to balance the skills which are already implemented and in order to implement new skills the communities opinions/feedback will be highly appreciated and needed.”“Defense corp - Earth will remain in Early access for approximately 8 months.”“The following features are planned for the release of the full game:“Defense corp - Earth is already in its current form is stable and has all core systems in place. Has been tested in private alpha phases and contains more content than many other Early Access games in the same genre.In terms of features, our Early Access version offers:“Price will increase once we exit Early Access.”“We will actively monitor our Discord and the Defense corp - Earth subreddit.”
