Wozu Early Access?

„Haymaker VR is built around physical combat, timing, and player feel and that’s something you can’t fully tune in isolation. Early Access lets us put the game into real players’ hands while we actively refine mechanics, balance systems, and expand content based on how people actually play, move, and fight.

Early Access also gives us room to iterate fast. We want to test new fighting mechanics, modes, progression systems, and comfort improvements in the open getting feedback early rather than locking decisions behind closed doors.

We’re committed to continuing development through Early Access and seeing Haymaker VR through to a full release. Player feedback isn’t just welcome but rather it’s part of the development process and will allow us to properly fine tune the game for full release.“

Wie lange wird dieses Spiel ungefähr den Early Access-Status haben?

„We expect Haymaker VR to remain in Early Access for roughly 9–12 months.

This timeline gives us the flexibility to refine core combat, expand content, and ensure performance and comfort meet the standards expected of a full VR release. As development progresses, we’ll keep the community updated if that timeline shifts.“

Wie soll sich die Vollversion von der Early Access-Version unterscheiden?

„We plan to feature a more polished and refined experience across the board- improved visuals, animations, audio, and overall presentation, as well as finalized game modes with clearly defined rules and progression.

Content-wise, we plan to expand significantly beyond Early Access, with a more complete lineup of maps, enemy types, and weapons designed to offer more variety, replayability, and long-term challenge. “

Was ist der derzeitige Stand der Early Access-Version?

„The Early Access version of Haymaker VR is fully playable and focused on delivering the core experience: intense, physical VR street fighting.

Currently implemented features include:

Core hand-to-hand combat mechanics
Multiple fight environments
Enemy AI with varied behaviors
Basic progression through roguelike
VR comfort and accessibility options
Ongoing performance optimization

While the foundation is solid, this version does not yet represent the final scope of the game. Additional modes, enemies, environments, progression depth, polish, and quality-of-life features are planned throughout Early Access.“

Wird dieses Spiel während und nach Early Access unterschiedlich viel kosten?

„The game will likely have a price increase upon leaving Early Access. “

Wie werden Sie versuchen die Community in den Entwicklungsprozess miteinzubeziehen?

„The community will play a direct role in shaping Haymaker VR.

We actively gather feedback through:
Our official Discord server
Our official channel socials on Youtube, X, Tiktok etc
Eventually community playtests
Direct player feedback and bug reports
Polls and discussions on upcoming features

Player input helps guide combat tuning, difficulty balance, comfort settings, and feature prioritization. We’re especially focused on how the game feels and that’s something only real players can help perfect.

We’ll communicate regularly about updates, changes, and development priorities so players know what’s coming and why.“
