How Participation Works

Harvest is designed as a phased participation journey that unfolds over time.

Rather than opening everything at once, the project is structured in stages. Each stage has a different role, and each one helps players move deeper into the ecosystem step by step.

This means Harvest should not be understood as a one-moment launch. It is a longer process built around access, participation, progression, and later expansion.

The participation journey

At a high level, the player journey is expected to look like this:

1. Join through a presale ticket phase
2. Enter early access when that phase becomes available
3. Participate actively and build progression
4. Continue into later launch phases as the ecosystem expands

This structure is meant to give users a clearer path into the game instead of compressing everything into one short event.

Step 1 — Presale access

The first step into Harvest is expected to happen through the presale ticket phase.

This gives early participants a defined entry point into the ecosystem. Rather than treating access as immediate and universal, Harvest introduces users through structured early phases.

The goal of this stage is to:

• establish who joins early
• create a clear first layer of access
• connect users to later participation phases
• support a more gradual rollout of the ecosystem

Presale access is the beginning of the journey, not the end of it.

Step 2 — Early access opens later

After the presale phase, the next major step is early access.

This is the stage where early participants begin entering the game environment before the broader public rollout. Depending on the final project structure, this stage may include early testing, early gameplay interaction, feature exploration, and progression-building activity.

This part of the experience matters because it shifts users from holding access into using access.

At this stage, players are no longer only waiting for the future. They begin participating directly.

Step 3 — Participation builds progression

Harvest is not designed around passive holding alone.

A core part of the ecosystem is the idea that participation matters. As players engage with the experience over time, their activity may help build progression across the system.

Depending on the final rules, this may include:

• active interaction during early phases
• completing gameplay-related actions
• building points or participation signals
• establishing eligibility for later outcomes

This makes participation important in a broader sense. The system is not only about entry. It is also about what users do after entering.

Step 4 — Later phases expand the experience

As Harvest continues to grow, later phases of the ecosystem are expected to open over time.

This is where the project moves from early access and structured onboarding into a broader live experience. Earlier participation may become important here because the system is designed as one connected path rather than isolated disconnected events.

The key idea is simple:

• early access introduces players
• participation builds progression
• later phases expand the ecosystem

Everything is meant to connect over time.

Why the process is phased

Harvest is intentionally structured as a longer rollout.

That means players may see meaningful time gaps between presale access, early access, and later launch stages. These gaps should be understood as part of the project structure rather than as separate unrelated moments.

The phased model helps:

• give each stage a clear role
• reduce confusion around access
• create a stronger long-term player journey
• allow progression to build over time

This also makes expectations more realistic. Harvest is meant to unfold, not appear all at once.

What users should keep in mind

The best way to understand Harvest participation is to think in stages.

Users should approach the ecosystem with a simple mindset:

• entry happens early
• access unfolds gradually
• participation matters
• progression may influence later outcomes
• official updates remain the source of truth for timing and rules

This helps players understand the project as a connected journey rather than a one-step event.

Summary

Harvest participation is built as a phased journey.

Players begin through early access paths such as presale, move into later participation stages as they open, and build progression over time as the ecosystem expands.

The clearest way to understand the project is this:

• join early
• participate actively
• progress over time
• move with the ecosystem as new phases open
