De ce acces timpuriu?

„As we develop Heretical, we also actively play it, having each of us invest hundreds of hours to actually play the game. And we love it! That being said, we're not making Heretical only for ourselves, but for the players worldwide as well. That's why we decided to involve the community early on during the development and see what they think of the game. It turned out that player feedback is invaluable and the main driving force for future updates.

With Early Access, we would like to expand that community and ensure their involvement in Heretical's progress, giving us a chance to make it the best game it can be.”

Aproximativ cât timp se va afla acest joc în acces timpuriu?

„We expect Early Access development of Heretical to continue during 2025-2026. We don't have a specific end date for our Early Access at this time, but we estimate the v1.0 release to be somewhere during the summer of 2026.”

Cum se va diferenția versiunea completă de cea disponibilă în acces timpuriu?

„Comparing to the Early Access version of Heretical, in the full version of the game, we'd like to have more playable regions, unlockable characters, bosses, enemies, prophecies, skills, unique items, and quests.

Throughout the development process, we have created numerous custom tools that allow us to generate new content fairly quickly. That's why we hope we'll be able to double the amount of current content until we reach the v1.0 version.

As far as the core gameplay is concerned, we'd like to keep it mostly the same, with some potential polishing and refinement. Ultimately, until we reach the full release, we hope we'll be able to offer more character build variety, extended gameplay time, and additional creative ways to experience the game.”

„At this point, the Early Access version offers over 20 hours of gameplay, where players have 5 regions to explore, 70 prophecies to complete, 8 characters to unlock, 30 unique skills to learn, and 7 bosses to defeat.

While the game is relatively stable, there are also various bugs and exploits we're actively resolving. Our goal is to keep the Early Access version of Heretical constantly updated with relevant bug fixes, balancing improvements, and new content. This way, our community will be able to provide feedback as we move on from phase to phase,”

Jocul va avea prețuri diferite pe durata accesului timpuriu și după părăsirea acestuia?

„During Early Access, the game will be available at a lower price as a thank-you to all the players who decided to support Heretical early on. Once we reach the full release, the price will increase for the new players from that point forward.”

Cum intenționezi să implici comunitatea în procesul tău de dezvoltare?

„We actively monitor our Steam Community threads and Discord server and engage with players in discussions about new features, game balance, and upcoming changes. The community is a vital part of Heretical's development, and we’re committed to keeping it that way.

We encourage players to report any issues they encounter, and we really love to hear all the suggestions and feedback. Ultimately, all that input truly helps shape the game in the end.”
