Why Early Access?

“As a solo developer creating Heroes of Noname essentially for fun, fulfilling this vision will take quite a bit of time since my budget is short and I have to work too.
Therefore, I'm choosing Early Access to build a community that will help me with testing and polishing the game throughout its development.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“An estimate of approximately 3 years.
By that time, I will have enough content to take the game out of Early Access and continue with updates, adding the remaining story content.”

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

“During Early Access, I will be adding NPCs, maps, monsters, activities, and all the story I have planned.
The full version will offer an expansive world where all the exciting mechanics are fully realized, bringing to life features that have yet to be fully explored due to content still being added.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“At the start of Early Access, about 15% of the world is built, with the main story in progress.
The 'MVP' (Minimum Viable Product) is already 100% functional and is being optimized/polished based on feedback from testers.
Instead of blocking areas under construction, I'm making them available for players to explore and provide feedback.”

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

“I made Heroes of Noname free because I want everyone to enjoy it, and if they like it, support the project either with feedback or financially by purchasing the 'Developer Support Packs'.
The pack prices will gradually increase based on the content released in-game, as well as the number of available packs.”

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

“Events in-game and on social media (Facebook, Discord, and Steam).
Additionally, the launch of a crowdfunding campaign, as encouraged by the community.”
