Development Approach
Raw Power Games has outlined a transparent approach to Early Access development, including regular updates explaining what is being worked on and why, community polls and votes to help prioritize features and fixes, and playtest opportunities for players to try systems before public updates. The studio plans to build a modding platform that gives modders the same or similar tools used internally to create game content, with active collaboration with experienced modders from the start of the process.
