Topians, it's time for some exciting news!
Hello Topians! 🏠🏠đźŹ
Alex here. My team and I have been working tirelessly over the past three years on Hometopia and I’m sure you’ve been wondering what exactly has been going on lately. You keep hearing about a new release date and then are understandably confused when nothing comes out. I’m here to explain the last six months, the next six months, and the exciting future of Hometopia!
This game has had a wild ride and up till now, we’ve been entirely self-funded. Game development in general is complex, messy and expensive. By the beginning of 2022, we didn’t think we could afford to bring you the big experience we wanted to provide. We could have pushed out what we had, but I didn’t feel right doing that. We have an obsessive goal that centers around a single vision for Hometopia:
Building Community Together
We want to provide the world, environment and tools to give you the creative freedom to really express yourself. But even more importantly, we want to help you foster relationships and social ties with other players as you build amazing neighborhoods and communities together! To reach that goal, we realized we needed a partner that can help us take it to the next level.
After six months of long conversations and work towards full alignment on the vision, we are happy to announce we have partnered with Everyrealm as a joint venture for Hometopia! They are not only providing all the resources we need to help bring you the game you deserve, but also have a unique perspective that helps us see the broader ecosystem.
Now onto the fun stuff…
We are building at 100% capacity and pushing every day to bring a truly amazing experience to you soon. The first thing that comes with that is transparency and frequent updates. Starting next week, our very own Mariana will be giving you an inside look into what we’re working on and provide frequent updates documenting our journey. Keep an eye on the #updates channel in our Discord for that.
Next, we plan to share our Roadmap so you can see our plan and timeline. Carl, who comes from AAA gaming, recently joined as Game Director and has been working crazy hard on getting this together. We can’t wait for you to see what we have in store for you! From our initial launch, all the way through updates and expansions, we think you’re going to love what Hometopia is becoming.
Another exciting change is we finally have our home at our official website domain, www.hometopia.com :)
Lastly, we’ve decided to make a big change to the game…
HOMETOPIA WILL BE FREE!
There will be no nickel and diming here. While we’re planning some amazing quality paid DLC that will enhance the experience and provide additional content for building and designing, it absolutely won’t be required to enjoy the game.
Thank you so much for your patience this year as we worked through the best way to keep supporting this game and bring you what you deserve. Can’t wait to see your creations.
Happy Building!
