Why Early Access?

“HammerBorn is best developed in Early Access for a few key reasons.

We want to grow and really polish our game in the last few stages of development, but also seek to deploy the game early so that we may build an appropriate fan-base.

More Importantly We believe in the voice of the players. We want to cultivate a digital experience- not just a video game. We believe that feedback, suggestions, and community participation are absolute necessities for this to happen. We want to include the community in the story we tell!”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“Most core mechanics are complete, Art is being sourced now. 3-4 months, Minimum.”

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

“The Vision we have for the Full version would include:
-multiplayer Co-op
-Arena PVP gameplay
-Fully Fleshed storyline
-9 Bosses
-TBA Game Modes”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“It's functional:

-full terrain generation
-saving/loading system
-Respawn on death, with an option to start a new file
-Functional Enemy AI and Combat
-Robust & intuitive Inventory Management System
-Procedurally generated dungeons
-Structure Building System
-Item Crafting System
-Boats & oceans work mostly as expected.
-tutorial for explaining most game mechanics loads before a new save file is made.
-pressing the V key changes the external monitor's view.”

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

“We actually want to give back to our communities in many ways. One of the ways intended is to keep a constant, more than fair price throughout the entirety of the games projected life cycle.
it's being release at 7.99$ and will never be more than 14.99”

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

“One of the main pillars and heaviest focuses of our studio is Player Focus;

We plan to include community feedback and host events that will engage the community to provide influence on game itself

That is to say, we want the fans DIRECTLY involved. We want to share the project!

What this looks like will evolve as the project does.”
