Why Early Access?

“Reasons for Releasing Hero Quest for Early Access:

Prioritizing Development: We need player feedback to identify which parts of the game should be developed or improved before others.
Feature Testing & Polishing: Early access allows players to test specific features, helping us refine and polish them for a better experience.
Growing Our Audience: By releasing early, we aim to start building a strong player community and growing our audience as soon as possible.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“We plan to keep the game in early access for at least six months, during which we’ll continue to enhance and expand the game based on feedback.”

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

“The full version of Hero Quest will introduce an exciting array of features, building on the early access version:

PvP Battle Arena: Players can engage in battles against one another for a competitive multiplayer experience.
Encounter Recordings: Players will have the ability to record encounters and share them, allowing others to watch and learn different strategies.
Mounts: Mounts will be added to the game to enable faster travel across the world.
Enchanting Professions: A new enchanting profession will be introduced, expanding crafting options beyond existing professions.
Player Housing: Players will be able to own and customize their own homes within the game.
New Zones and Cities: Four additional zones and two large cities will be added, expanding the game world for players to explore.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The current Early Access version of Hero Quest includes the following features:

World Content:
4 zones to explore, including 1 major city, 3 towns, and 14 dungeons.

Quests:
Under 100 quests available for players to complete.

Professions:
5 professions: Leatherworking, Tailoring, Blacksmithing, Alchemy, and Cooking.

Collection Game:
A collection feature where players can gather and collect rare items.

Player Market:
A market system that allows players to sell items to one another.

This version offers a strong foundation for gameplay, with plenty of areas to explore, tasks to complete, and systems to engage with. Feedback from players during this stage will help guide further improvements and the development of additional features planned for the full release.”

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

“We plan to gradually raise the price of the game as we release new content and features compared to the current Early Access version. This approach reflects the growing value of the game as we add more zones, professions, mechanics, and improvements over time.

Players who purchase the game during Early Access will not be affected by future price increases and will enjoy all future updates at no additional cost.”

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

“Players feedback and insights are invaluable to shaping the future of the game, and here’s how we plan to include players in the process:

Feature Development Polls:
We will regularly create polls to gather your input on which features or content you’d like us to prioritize.

Feedback on Current Features:
We will actively seek your feedback on the current features and mechanics to identify areas that need improvement or refinement.

By working together, we aim to ensure that Hero Quest evolves into the best possible experience for our players.”
