Your Halloween treat: the Exclusive Backer Access is live!
Hello Dear Backers,
we are glad to say we managed to wrap up an early build of Hard West and will be making it available to you asap. Be advised that “asap” in this case might be a long-ish process, as we are forced to send the keys gradually. Ultimately though, they should all make their way to you over the weekend, Monday evening at the latest.
Cool! How do I get it?
The keys should arrive to your e-mail address associated with your Kickstarter or PayPal accounts (depending on which channel you used to back the game). Please double check, in case it lands in your Spam folder.
Please remember that only Backers who chose a reward tier including a Steam key will get the Exclusive Backer Access key. Also please remember that this early version is only available on PC Windows, and
NOT available on either Mac or Linux.
Uncool! I want to flame you to hell! Where do I go?
As you await the access keys, you’re welcome to browse the new
Hard West forums. Please note that these forums are exclusive to you, the Backers, and therefore it is critical for your positive identification that you register with the same e-mail address as associated with your Kickstarter/PayPal account.
If you also choose the same nick/login as your KS account, it will be easier for us to verify that you are indeed one of our Backers and you will get access more quickly. In case of any problems, please message us via Kickstarter or send us an e-mail to
support@creativeforge.pl.
What’s it gonna be like?
When you finally get your hands on Hard West, please remember that this is a very early, very rough, unfinished, unpolished and unbalanced version of the game. What you receive is not a beta, not even an alpha, and even a pre-alpha would be calling it more than it actually is.Picture it like this: it will be as if you entered your future home, and it only had a not entirely dried foundation, a shaky cardboard wall or two, and a small bunch of furniture falling over and sinking in the concrete. It may not be much. But it’s yours.
What we hope for with this version, is that it will give you a chance to evaluate the potential of the game, post your feedback and make your voice be heard. We are really looking forward to your input and hope that together we can make this game shine.
However, if you’re easily frustrated by bugs, missing features, ugly placeholders, repetitive gameplay and going over the same stuff over and over again, you might want to wait until Hard West reaches beta state, when it should resemble an actual game, or even until the release.
On a closing note, we would like to thank you again for making it all possible, for your patience, and for supporting us until now. We hope you’re going to have some fun with this early version, and that we get to discuss your feedback on the forums. Until next time!
