Hyper Light Breaker Delayed
On their official Steam page, the developers revealed more information on why they chose to utilize Early Access:
“Our game is an open world, online, rogue-lite with procedurally generated worlds – it has limitless re-playability with a wild number of combinations. We are essentially inventing and defining this subgenre of “open world rogue-lite,” and feel strongly that openness and responsiveness to player feedback will be critical to this ambitious process. The community will be instrumental in helping us to balance the experience, evolve the designs and make a better, more performant, versatile and complete game ultimately. By going into Early Access we can showcase and talk about our game openly, invite the audience in to see how it’s made and participate in helping to make it better.
Additionally, it is important to us as developers that we find the healthiest ways to make games. It allows us the scheduling flexibility to avoid the sometimes harsh nature of game development, while granting us the time to polish the game experience and make it the very best version of itself.”
