We had Charlie Brandick, founder of Quetzal Core Games, on the IndieGameBusiness Podcast, and this is what he had to say about why developers should begin building interest in their games as early as possible.

Sharing development, gathering feedback, and building a community early can give your project a much stronger foundation.
