Why Early Access?

“Most of the core gameplay systems are complete and fully playable. Early Access provides the opportunity to refine and expand the game with player input.

Player feedback will directly influence balance, world design, new items, and quality of life improvements. I look forward to working with the community to make an awesome game.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“The current plan is for Hoarders Realm to remain in Early Access until approximately mid 2027.

During this time, development will focus on adding major boss encounters, expanding progression systems, refining balance, and overall polish. The timeline may adjust based on community feedback and feature expansion.”

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

“The primary difference between Early Access and the full release will be the amount of handcrafted content.

The full version is planned to include:

Six distinct world types.
Six major boss encounters.
Expanded item and gear progression.
Additional gameplay depth and polish.

I am also planning to implement Steam Workshop integration, allowing players to upload and share custom levels directly through Steam.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The Early Access version features a fully playable multiplayer experience with Steam networking support.

Players can:

Explore procedurally generated worlds.
Build and modify voxel based terrain.
Engage in combat.
Progress their character.
Play cooperatively online.

Most core systems are complete, including world generation, base building, saving/loading, character customization, and multiplayer functionality.

At Early Access launch, all planned main world types will be available to explore. The first major boss encounter will be fully implemented, with additional world specific bosses being added throughout development.

Content will continue to expand during Early Access, along with balance improvements, optimization, and quality of life enhancements.”

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

“There are currently no plans to change the price after leaving Early Access.”

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

“Community feedback will play a major role in shaping Hoarders Realm throughout Early Access.

I maintain an active Discord server where players can:

Report bugs.
Suggest features.
Discuss balance changes.
Share ideas for new worlds, items, and mechanics.

I will also keep a close eye on the games community hub for anyone more comfortable posting there.

Because the game is built on modular systems, new content and adjustments can be implemented relatively quickly based on player feedback.

Development updates will be posted regularly, and community input will directly influence development priorities.”
