Miksi Early Access?

Hoop Land has been in development since 2022, and while it already includes in-depth season modes like Career, Franchise, and Commissioner, it has not yet reached my full vision. Launching in Early Access will allow me to continue developing new modes and features while gathering valuable player feedback.

Miten kauan peli tulee arviolta olemaan Early Access -vaiheessa?

Hoop Land will likely remain in Early Access until sometime before the end of Q1 2026.

Millä tavoin lopullinen versio tulee eroamaan Early Access -versiosta?

One of the bigger ideas I’m planning is a College Franchise mode, which would let players recruit prospects to build a powerhouse program. I also have other additions and improvements in mind, which are usually shared as development progresses. Features like full controller support and Steam Deck compatibility are expected to be refined and optimized further.

Mikä on Early Access -version tila tällä hetkellä?

The Early Access version already includes fully customizable leagues, teams, players, and more. Custom leagues can be used in Career, Franchise, and Commissioner season modes. Each season save contains a college and pro league that are seamlessly interconnected, allowing young players to continuously populate professional leagues.

Muuttuuko pelin hinta Early Access -vaiheen jälkeen?

The price of Hoop Land is not expected to change when we leave Early Access. Players will also receive all future content and features at no extra cost.

Miten yhteisö otetaan mukaan kehitysprosessiin?

I actively monitor Steam discussions, the Hoop Land discord server, and social media platforms to gather input on gameplay, requested features, and quality-of-life improvements. I also share consistent development logs so players can follow progress and provide feedback in real time. Community feedback has already shaped many aspects of Hoop Land, and it will continue to guide priorities and improvements throughout Early Access and beyond.
