The Closed Alpha FAQ

Jul 31, 2019

A lot of questions are asked regularly on Discord or Reddit. The following article is about answering the most common questions:

Q: When will the keys be sent out?

A: Honestly I don't know yet. I will publish an ETA once I think it is ready. But if everything works I'm planning on beeing it ready in the next two weeks. I plan to finish the last missing features this week, but since I'm doing all of this in my free time while having a full-time job, so I'm doing as much as I can.

A: Keys will be sent out 20.07.2020 8 AM CEST. Stay tuned! :D

Q: Will there be clans?

Short Answer: Maybe!

Long Answer: A lot has changed since I've started hackero. I'm not sure how a clan system will work in the current game conecpt, but it is not completely off the table.

Q: What the hack? I wanna play now!

A: Of course I understand you are all excited. But since I'm developing this game alone, in my free time doing as much as I can. The more community support I do, the less programming time I have.

Q: Can I help to translate?

A: Right now I do not have an ETA on when translations will be implemented. One reason for this is how NPC's work and that right now it is basically impossible to translate them. But once I'm ready for translations I'm happy about everyone helping!

Q: I have this awesome Idea for the game! Can I contribute?

A: Yes! Please post your Idea to the #suggestions channel on discord. You can also send your Ideas to hello@hackero.io.

Q: Why are you not extending the team right now?

A: The reason for this is that in my opinion, it is not right to stock up the team when even the earliest version of the game is not published yet. The reason for this is that recruiting people for something they have not experienced yet is not the right way of doing it.

So once people get to experience what hackero is, I'm happy about people joining the team.

Right now there is Lumineer helping by managing discord and also doing some support there.

Q: I'm not sure if I signed up. Is there a way to check if I'm on the list?

A: You can check if your email is on the list by reentering it on the form on the landing page and by clicking on sign-up. If you see a red error message telling you the email already exists you are on the list!
