Hvorfor tidlig tilgang?

«Early Access is an exciting opportunity to invite players into the development journey. I believe that by offering Early Access, we can create something truly exceptional together.

"The Lonely Hacker" is a project that's constantly evolving. As a solo developer, I'm passionate about refining every aspect of the game to ensure it delivers the best possible experience. Early Access allows me to involve the community in this process, giving players a chance to shape the game's direction through their feedback.

Player feedback is invaluable to me. Whether it's suggestions for new features, bug reports, or even just sharing experiences with the game, every piece of feedback helps me understand what players want and need. This collaboration ensures that "The Lonely Hacker" grows in ways that resonate with its audience, making it a game that truly belongs to its community.

So, why Early Access? Because together, we can make "The Lonely Hacker" the best hacking simulator ever made. Join me on this journey, and let's create something extraordinary together!»

Hvor lenge antas det at dette spillet vil være i tidlig tilgang?

«I envision "The Lonely Hacker" remaining in Early Access for approximately between 1 and 2 years. Development, especially as a solo endeavor, demands careful attention to detail and iteration. Rushing through the process often compromises the quality and integrity of the final product.

My commitment to delivering a polished and thoroughly enjoyable game experience means that I must allow ample time for iteration, refinement, and implementation of community feedback. "The Lonely Hacker" is not just a static creation; it's a living, breathing entity that evolves with each update.

By embracing a more flexible timeline for Early Access, I can ensure that every aspect of the game receives the attention it deserves. This approach fosters a healthier development cycle and ultimately results in a more satisfying end product for players.

So, while I can't provide an exact date for the game's full release, rest assured that I'm dedicated to the journey ahead, and I'm excited to share it with you every step of the way.»
