Valve opens Steam Early Access program
Players can try games while they are still being created
Valve today announced the addition of an Early Access section to Steam's library.
Steam Early Access titles allow the community to get involved early and play select titles during their development. The goal of Early Access is to provide gamers with the chance to "go behind the scenes" and experience the development cycle firsthand and have a chance to interact with the developers by providing them feedback while the title is still being created.
To support the interaction between Early Access players and developers, Steam offers automatic updating of games, letting developers iterate quickly to respond directly to bug reports and feedback from customers.
The first titles coming to Steam Early Access are 123 KICK IT!, Arma 3, Drunken Robot Pornography, Gear Up, Gnomoria, Kenshi, Kerbal Space Program, Kinetic Void, Patterns, Prison Architect, StarForge, Under the Ocean.
The program will likely be most beneficial for smaller and indie developers as well as those who are trying to pass through the Greenlight approval system.
