Much like consumers preorder and prepay to get early access this is a more direct early access to prealpha version of the game which offers a chance for players to get an inside look at development as its shaped. With options as low as $1/ month to make access as close to free as possible. Of course the result is to generate income from art however there is no rush to begin charching customers who would eventually refund. This phase allows for the development to grow with the community.
