Why Early Access?

“Devil Hearts balances several key systems — crafting, tavern-building, guest recruitment, roguelike exploration, and complex character balancing. Devil Hearts already offers a solid core experience, with its systems — including crafting, tavern-building, guest recruitment, and roguelike exploration — mostly in place and playable. However, Early Access gives us an opportunity to continue improving the game with the community’s help.

The game is already fun to play, but there’s room for polishing key mechanics and expanding on content. We want to make sure that the various systems work well together, particularly when it comes to character balance and how different player approaches impact the game world”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“We anticipate Devil Hearts will be in Early Access for around 2 months, with the aim of wrapping up by the end of July/early August. However, we’ll adapt based on feedback and progress to ensure the game is polished and satisfying before moving out of Early Access.”

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

“We plan to continue refining gameplay balance, polish dialogue and art, and explore adjustments based on how players interact with the game. There may be opportunities to expand on certain quest paths or tweak underlying systems based on feedback.

While we don’t want to make specific promises about future features or timelines, our goal is to deepen the core experience, smooth out pacing, and offer more diverse ways for players to approach both the tavern-building and roguelike exploration elements.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The game is mostly complete, with the major systems already implemented and playable. There’s a wide range of crafting options, guest interactions, dungeon exploration, and character choices to experiment with. That said, some systems and quest lines still have room for additional polish and balancing, especially in terms of how different character builds interact with the game world.”

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

“No – Devil Hearts will maintain the same price during and after Early Access.”

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

“Community involvement is at the heart of our Early Access approach. We encourage players to share feedback, report issues, and suggest new ideas on our forums and social media channels. We’ll be actively monitoring these discussions and adjusting the game based on your suggestions.

Whether it’s tweaking character balance, adding quest branches, or refining the crafting and tavern systems, your input will help shape the final version of Devil Hearts. We’re excited to build this game with you, and we can’t wait to see what directions your ideas take us!”
