Wozu Early Access?

„HackOS is a deeply immersive MMO-style hacking sandbox with asynchronous multiplayer and a persistent world that thrives on player interactions, competition, collaboration, and community feedback—even when players are offline. Early Access allows us to launch the core persistent digital ecosystem, invite players to influence and shape it together from day one, refine mechanics based on real-world usage, expand features, and ensure the game fully meets the expectations of our community.“

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

„We plan for HackOS to remain in Early Access for approximately 6 to 12 months. This timeframe will allow us to gather valuable feedback on persistent world dynamics, multiplayer interactions, and emergent gameplay; implement expansions like new factions, events, and tools; and polish the overall MMO experience. However, the duration may vary depending on the scope of community suggestions, player-driven world evolution, and development progress. Our priority is to deliver a complete, balanced, and thriving persistent world before full release.“

Players will be able to share feedback, report bugs, and suggest improvements through dedicated Steam forums and feedback channels. We will actively monitor player discussions, run polls on new features, and consider suggestions that align with the game’s vision. Regular development updates and patch notes will keep the community informed about upcoming changes and improvements. By incorporating player-driven ideas and balancing gameplay based on community input, we aim to create a dynamic and engaging experience that evolves with the players’ needs.“
