Why Early Access?

“『Hounimal』 is a game based on common roguelite rules, incorporating housing and a unique battle system. We chose to release it in early access to make the game better and more understandable. Also, because this game is individually developed, more time is needed to complete the full version.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“『Hounimal』 is expected to be in early access for about 4 months to 1 year.”

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

“In the full version, we plan to add new difficulty levels, furniture, and enemy characters. Additionally, we will make improvements to localization. Feedback received during the early access period will be considered for implementation as needed.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“In early access, the main elements such as three difficulty levels based on roguelite standards, battles, and housing can be experienced. More than 50 types of furniture are currently included, and various combinations can be tried with them.”

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

“Yes, it is planned to be offered at a lower price during the early access period. At the time of the full version release, a new price will be set in accordance with the added content and improvements, as well as the play period.”

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

“If there are any concerns about game balance or the game as a whole, please provide feedback. During the early access period, updates based on forums and social media references will be considered.”
