Miksi Early Access?

The Early Access will allow us to make some changes if the players demand them and also we should be able to gather some community that could affect the game's overall flow. It’s very important to us to make the game as good as possible! In addition, the EA will also let us control the general game balance and we will be able to solve problems much earlier than in case of releasing the full version.

Miten kauan peli tulee arviolta olemaan Early Access -vaiheessa?

We expect it to be around a year. But given the nature of EA development - how much additional content we will decide to add before the final version or how many things will need to be changed on the way, we haven't planned any specific date for that.

Millä tavoin lopullinen versio tulee eroamaan Early Access -versiosta?

As we develop the game, things may change as we go depending on the community feedback. That being said, we plan to have a fully polished game that implements many various Heroes, a stable and reliable online experience across all platforms, more game modes, including those that are based on single/co-op experience and those that are for a large number of players. We also plan to have fixed most - if not all the possible bugs by then.

Mikä on Early Access -version tila tällä hetkellä?

This version implements most of the core features that the game has to offer. It allows many different playstyles, but its current state is just scratching the surface of what we have planned.

That being said, depending on when you decide to delve into the world of Hours After Midnight, particularly after playing one of our demo versions, your experience might differ.

We're currently working actively on adding more content, such as items and abilities. We're also finishing up the Home Instance and Hero Building Traits systems, which won't be available in the demo version.

Muuttuuko pelin hinta Early Access -vaiheen jälkeen?

Based on the new content added, the price will gradually scale over time. But we don’t want to make the difference too big - it will be within the reason.

Miten yhteisö otetaan mukaan kehitysprosessiin?

Community feedback for a game of this kind is one of the reasons we even wanted to enter Early Access. Making a product for a long time that no one would enjoy due to poor balancing and features is not how we want this game to end up. We want to engage with the Community very closely through our Discord server and all of our Forums to make this project a game, that everyone can enjoy.
