Why Early Access?

“We chose Early Access to share the core of our game with players and start gathering feedback as early as possible. Hakempo is fully playable in its current form, with the complete game loop, draft mechanics, and battle system already implemented. As a new development team, we want to grow this project alongside a community and shape future content together.
”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“We estimate that Hack & Po will remain in Early Access for around 6 to 12 months. This timeframe may vary depending on player feedback and how long it takes us to develop and polish the planned additional features.”

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

“The core combat system, card draft, and game loop are already in place and represent the foundation upon which in time we plan to build all of the following features:

- Online multiplayer mode
- A full single-player campaign
- Cosmetic unlocks such as skins
- Optional story progression (lore system)”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The Early Access version includes the complete core experience: players can build decks, battle using a unique five-class rock-paper-scissors system, and experience the full match structure with increasing damage over time. The AI and game logic are functional, but features like multiplayer, skills, campaign content, and cosmetics are not yet implemented.”

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

“The price of Hack & Po will remain the same during Early Access. We want to reward early adopters by giving them the full experience without any future price changes. Price will increase after the game has finished development and current roadmap ”

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

“We plan to actively involve the community through discussions on Steam forums, Discord, and surveys. We’re especially interested in feedback regarding card balance, usability, and feature suggestions. As new developers, we want to be transparent about our progress and involve players in shaping the direction of future updates.”
