Show it before anyone else can.
We would rather you covered Hollow Cedar while it is still rough and interesting than after it is finished and safe. Early builds, no embargo games, and the two of us on the other end of a Discord ping.
What you get
Access, not a press kit.
- Build keys ahead of public playtests, including builds that never go out publicly.
- Permission to capture, stream, publish and monetise pre-release footage. No takedowns, no surprise embargoes.
- An asset pack: logos, key art, wordmarks and clean b-roll for thumbnails and overlays.
- A creators channel on Discord with direct access to the developers, not a community manager.
- Kickstarter and Steam launch material in your hands before it goes public, so you can post on day one.
- Feature requests and bug reports that go straight into the backlog with your name against them.
The honest version
What we ask in return.
- There is no follower minimum. We do read every application, and we do favour people whose audience actually plays survival games.
- Keys are limited because we are two people. If we cannot fit you into the current wave we will keep you on the list for the next one and tell you so.
- Builds are unfinished. Placeholder art, missing audio and bugs are part of the deal. Label footage as pre-release and you are covered.
- Some story content is spoiler locked. Anything under wraps is flagged in the build notes, and we will ask you to keep it off camera until launch.
- Say what you think. A critical video from someone playing the game properly is worth more to us than a positive one that is not.
