Why Early Access?

“As a solo developer, Early Access provides an opportunity to collaborate with the community to refine Hero Hellspawn. The feedback gathered during this phase will help identify and fix bugs, improve game balance, and polish existing content. Early Access also enables the addition of new features and content based on community suggestions, ensuring the game delivers the best possible experience.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“The Early Access phase is expected to last until April 2025, with a target for the full release towards the end of the month. During this period, the game will receive updates every 2 to 4 weeks, incorporating community feedback, fixing bugs, and introducing new features.”

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

“The full version is planned to include:

Expanded Content: New weapons, equipment items, and an additional set of math quizzes featuring more complex operations.
Gameplay Improvements: Adjusted balance, refined mechanics, and enhanced progression systems based on player feedback.
Technical Enhancements: Improved performance, bug fixes, and overall stability.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The Early Access version is fully playable and includes:

Core gameplay mechanics, including roguelite combat, skill-based progression, and math-based quizzes.
A selection of weapons, items, and abilities for players to explore.
A progression system where players earn coins during runs to upgrade their hero.
While stable, the game is actively being refined in terms of balance and polish, with community feedback guiding regular updates.”

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

“Yes, the price is planned to increase as the game transitions out of Early Access to reflect additional content, balance improvements, and overall polish. Early supporters will benefit from the lower Early Access price, ensuring they receive value for their involvement in the development process.”

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

“Player feedback is central to the development of Hero Hellspawn. The community will be involved through:

Steam Community Hub: A space for reporting bugs, suggesting features, and discussing balance changes.
Regular Updates: Transparent communication of progress, planned features, and changes through announcements on Steam.
Testing Opportunities: Some updates may be made available to players for beta testing before official release, enabling early feedback.”
