Miksi Early Access?

❓ Why Early Access?

Hackhub is a complex and community-driven hacker simulation project. Early Access allows us to gather real-world feedback from players and shape the core systems together. We want to ensure that every feature — from mission design to multiplayer mechanics — reflects the expectations of our audience. By releasing early, we can refine the game iteratively, prioritize what players care about most, and grow Hackhub into something bigger with your help.

Miten kauan peli tulee arviolta olemaan Early Access -vaiheessa?

⏳ How long will this game be in Early Access?

We plan to remain in Early Access as long as necessary to build and test the systems planned for the full release. This period allows us to explore player feedback, refine features, and add meaningful content without rushing. While we do not have a fixed timeline, development will remain active throughout.

Millä tavoin lopullinen versio tulee eroamaan Early Access -versiosta?

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

The full version of Hackhub is designed to expand on every core aspect introduced in Early Access.

Planned improvements and additions include:

• Multiplayer systems for hacking other players and defending your own servers
  
• A package manager for sharing custom tools and scripts
  
• Steam Workshop integration for modding and user-made missions
  
• A deep story campaign titled “The Journalist’s Sister”
  
• Infinite procedural sandbox missions with scaling difficulty
  
• A “Hackpass” progression system with unlockable content
  
• Performance optimizations and enhanced UI/UX

We are also open to community ideas that might shape additional future content.

📦 What is the current state of the Early Access version?

The Early Access version includes all major systems planned for the full release — except for multiplayer, modding, and the Hackpass system.

• A rich selection of sandbox missions with increasing complexity
  
• Story questline "The Journalist's Sister"
  
• Fully functional hacking tools and gameplay systems
  
• Code++ scripting support for custom tools
  
• Themes and a redesigned user interface

This version is stable and offers several hours of engaging content, giving players a strong preview of the full Hackhub experience. More content and improvements will be added throughout Early Access based on community feedback.

Muuttuuko pelin hinta Early Access -vaiheen jälkeen?

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

We plan to gradually increase the price as we add new content and features. This allows early supporters to get in at a lower cost while helping fund further development. Pricing may vary by region and platform, but we’ll always strive to keep it fair and reflective of the game’s value.

Miten yhteisö otetaan mukaan kehitysprosessiin?

🗣️ How are you planning to involve the Community in your development process?

Hackhub is being shaped directly by its community. We actively listen to feedback from Steam reviews, forums, and social media. We also plan to launch community polls for new feature directions and highlight user-generated missions via the Steam Workshop.
Players are encouraged to share their ideas, tools, and creations — this is not just a game, but a growing simulation shaped by hackers like you.
