Why Early Access?

“ShapeHero Factory is an ambitious game designed to let players enjoy the most exciting part of factory building—the early stages—again and again, with endless replayability. Our top priority is to refine the controls and game balance based on valuable feedback from players, ensuring that this core experience stays engaging and fun throughout.

This game is designed to bring fresh excitement and deeper enjoyment to those already familiar with the genre. For newcomers, we're confident that it will be the perfect first step, offering a fun and engaging introduction that will draw you in right from the start.

We decided to release the game in Early Access because we’re truly committed to working together with our players. By listening to your feedback and ideas, we believe we can create a more immersive and exciting game experience for everyone.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“The early access period will last for at least 4 months. We may extend this period if additional development is needed based on player feedback. Please note that we plan to continue regular updates even after the early access period ends.”

How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version?

“There will be no changes to the core gameplay.

Our top priority during early access will be adjusting game balance and improving controls based on player feedback.
We are exploring the possibility of adding content such as the following:

• New Research Trees
  
• New Heroes
  
• New Relics
  
• Additional Surprise Events

In addition, we are exploring the possibility of introducing new masters and implementing game modes that have been highly requested by our community.

Please note that the priorities and specific implementations of these features may change based on feedback and development progress. We look forward to hearing from you!”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“All core game systems are complete, and the game already offers a substantial amount of content to enjoy.
Support for controllers, various resolutions, and additional platforms, as well as further game balance adjustments based on your feedback, will be implemented in the future.”

Will the game be priced differently during and after Early Access?

“We’re planning to increase the price upon the 1.0 release as additional content and features are added.”

How are you planning on involving the Community in your development process?

“Join us on Steam discussions or our Discord server (links can be found on our store page or in-game). We value community feedback and plan to incorporate it into our development. We've already made many improvements to the early access version based on the valuable feedback we received from the demo. We welcome your suggestions, bug reports, and any other feedback.”
