Discord is rapidly expanding the boundaries of its capabilities. The gaming messenger announced the launch of an early access program in its store.
Descenders was one of the first to appear in Discord’s early access.
Just as it is embodied in Steam, Discord Early Access allows developers to release an early version of their game.
In the process of further development, they will be able to direct the funds received from the players to finalize the game, as well as receive valuable feedback about the product.
At the same time, Discord Early Access, like the Discord store itself, is tied to a chat client, which is used by developers for constant communication with players. The advantages that this feature gives have already been appreciated by the publisher No More Robots, who was one of the first to release his Descenders game in early access to Discord.
Now it's easier for players to find games or a developer, or, if necessary, both — which is exactly what we need.

In addition to Descenders, Discord already has titles Parkasarus, Kynseed, Visage and Mad Machines in early access.
Before early access, the last major update was the online store itself, which opened in early August. SuperData analysts believe that eventually the popular messenger can move Steam.
