Paris-based indie developer Amplitude Studios has grand ambitions of its own as they proclaim their goal is to create nothing but the best strategy games, and, with your help. Hence their GAMES2GETHER initiative, which aims to make gamers an integral part of the development process.
Here's an example:
On a weekly basis, we propose votes on art and game design elements on the endlesspace website. The community can choose which of those elements will end up in the final game. The G2G points are here to reward the most active members, as the most active ones will see their G2G points (influence on the votes) increase.
And while you ponder how to contribute, start by increasing your knowledge by getting familiar with the backdrop, the features, and some of the factions present in the universe of this title, such as the United Empire, the Cravers or the Horatios.
