Miksi Early Access?

We know that a Hack and Slime is ambitious in terms of its content and options and needs to be in contact with the gaming community, Early Access allows us to maintain this close communication with the community as we develop and expand the game.

Each new update allows us to create a cycle of testing and feedback that will affect the next update and Steam is ideal to enhance this development cycle with its system of events, news and meeting point.

Miten kauan peli tulee arviolta olemaan Early Access -vaiheessa?

We would like to keep Early Access for as long as it takes to complete all the goals we set from the start of development.

We estimate that Hack and Slime could be completed in less than 2 years, but thanks to the community these times can be shortened as it has happened during the demo phase. Thanks to the support of the players we can detect and solve problems and needs faster and implement them in the next version.

Muuttuuko pelin hinta Early Access -vaiheen jälkeen?

Our intention is to offer the cheapest price possible at the beginning and increase the price as the content increases, and so on until the commercial version is released.

Miten yhteisö otetaan mukaan kehitysprosessiin?

or us, the involvement of the community is vital. We know that a game of these dimensions and characteristics requires participation and testing by players and regular updates based on their feedback.

That's why in Bullwaresoft we have a discord server to giving support and information to the players directly from the developers and moderators. Thanks to this dynamic, we have created a system of weekly updates months before the launch of early access, every Friday Hack and Slime is and will be updated.

In addition, our changelog and milestones are available and open at all times so that backers know which areas of development we are focused on and which improvements have priority.
