Who's ready for an Early Access??

Hello everyone!

It's been a month since the release of the DEMO, but the number of players who kindly played our game was way more than we anticipated. We have received countless encouragements and enthusiastic feedback. We cannot thank you enough!
Every one of your supportive comments has helped us in the development of "ShapeHero Factory".

Now we are moving on to the next step of development, and we would like to make one major announcement, which we are so thankful to be able to share with you guys.

[h3]We have decided to release Early Access to "ShapeHero Factory" in NOVEMBER 2024![/h3]

As we read the messages we have received from you, we were able to discover so many areas of improvement that we never saw.
Therefore, we have made a decision to take a little more time to make ShapeHero Factory even better. To get it out to you as soon as possible, we have decided to set the date to November.

On the Early Access, we plan to update the game actively. That includes adding new heroes, equipment, masters (playable characters), and more!
We are confident that ""ShapeHero Factory"" will be a much more challenging game! Stay tuned😁

Starting with the Japanese offline indie game event BitSummit Drift, we are planning to exhibit at several game shows in Japan and abroad during this summer and fall.
When we are able to make an official announcement at a later date, please consider visiting us sometime!

Look forward to more updates on the Early Access!

We greatly appreciate your continued support of ShapeHero Factory💫
