What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“Hullbreaker will continue to receive substantial content updates on a quarterly basis for the next few years. More than anything I want to improve the game in a way that requires support of the player base. Not only improvement but also to give the player base more of a voice when it comes to deciding what should and should not be changed/added to the game.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“Hullbreaker will be in EA for approximately 2 years.”

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

“More weapon types that would improve the general feel and more so the replay ability of the game. Some examples of things that are going to be added is different weapon types such as Greek fire, ram augments, and different cannon/cannonball types that change the playstyle of ships on a greater level. As well as at least 80 unique upgrades to choose from.

Overall, I want Hullbreaker to be a game that is able to be played for at least 30 hours and I want the content of the game to reflect that before I would call it the "full version".”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The main gameplay systems are clear and in place with the loop well established. There are 5 different weapon types in place with about 40 different upgrades to choose from and mix and matched as pleased. Some extra polish is yet to come for already existing systems. With the weather update bringing about the new wind based sailing system, 7 different new weather/hazard types, and additional upgrades”

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

“The price of the game will gradually increase upon more content updates.”

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

“I will also collecting most general feedback from posts on the Hullbreaker Reddit, Discord, as well as Steam community discussions. This will help me decide what needs to be changed or what would make a good addition to Hullbreaker.

It's important to note that I am listening closely to feedback to monitor progress, fix bugs, as well as add your ideas to shape the game in a better way for both my own sake and yours! So, if you have something you don't like about Hullbreaker or really enjoy just be sure to let me know on any of our social medias!”
