Hello,

You're reading this announcement because you added the game to your wishlist, which means you probably like the idea and want it to come to life. Now, you have perhaps the last chance to make it happen, and you should please read on to see why it's worth it.

Support Now and Get Amazing Benefits!

By supporting the game now with the SURVIVOR perk, you'll only spend what the game will cost upon release about $25 but you'll get many exclusive benefits that won't be available otherwise! This is your chance to contribute to the game's success and immortalize your name in the Hiraeth universe.

https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/hiraeth-indie-game-sci-fi-survival-rich-story/

In the Price of the Game, You'll Get Much More!

With a minimum support of just about $25, you will receive:

• The Hiraeth game with a Steam key
• The full game soundtrack "VOID WALKERS" with a Steam key
• Your name immortalized in the game credits and in the databases of colonists on Ahra Prime as part of the "Immortalized in HIRAETH" series
• VIP access to the Steam Playtest, which will likely move to a closed phase soon, granting you permanent playtest access and early demo access in the future
• A special Hiraeth Backer role on the game's Discord, providing many benefits, behind-the-scenes content access, direct contact with the creators, and influence on the game's development
• Additional rewards from previous perks, such as extra digital content

VANGUARD Perk

This perk offers even more benefits, including having your selfie immortalized in the game with the "Memory Lane Polaroid selfie with your name on Ahra Prime?" reward. Plus, you'll receive the Hiraeth Super Backer role on Discord.
Even if you can't afford the perks that guarantee a Steam key for Hiraeth, you can still support the game with the starter perks FOLLOWER for $5 and COLONIST for $15, which also come with great rewards, or contribute as little as $2. Every bit of support matters it will not only help the game reach its potential but also show that the work put into it is worthwhile!

Massive Discount on Higher Perks for the Last Days of the Campaign Up to 80% Off!

Understandably, not everyone can support the project with a larger sum, but for those who can, I've prepared a huge discount on the higher perks, from DRIFTER, now $150 instead of $333, to THE ONE AND ONLY with nearly a 90% discount (exactly 87%).
The reasons for this decision are detailed in campaign update #10

Your Choice and Support Matter

Today, you can support the unique and fresh game Hiraeth. After more than two years of work, your support is essential to ensure it comes to fruition, and not much is needed to make sure this effort doesnt go to waste!

Find Yourself in the Hiraeth Universe

No matter how you support the game, whether on Indiegogo, Patreon, or directly you will find yourself in the Hiraeth universe. Support the game and send your details via this form. In the next Steam Playtest later this month, new supporters will be featured in the game credits and listed in the databases on Ahra Prime. The first locations on Nesoi Island and items also have their patrons! On the other hand, by not supporting this game and other independent ones, you risk ending up with productions focused solely on profit. Nowadays, many games follow the same formula or revive old productions that don't bring anything new. The choice is yours. Best regards, Pawe A. Tomkowiak, Lead Creator of Hiraeth

Indiegogo crowdfunding campaign launches November 11

Community support at this stage is essential to ensure the quality of both the Early Access version and the full game. In return, I have prepared perks with various rewards. Until the campaign starts, you can reserve the VANGUARD perk at the price of the SURVIVOR perk - VANGUARD provides much higher rewards, until November 11 at a promotional price.

VANGUARD EARLY RISER Perk

Indiegogo Campaign Pre-Launch Page

https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/hiraeth-indie-game-sci-fi-survival-rich-story/coming_soon/x/35505033 Due to limited space on the pre-launch campaign page, I have included the details in an article on IndieDB. I also invite you to ask questions in this thread.

Community support is just as important

If you haven't added HIRAETH to your wishlist yet - please do! Spread the word - recommend the game to your friends.

Thank you and I hope that the Early Access version will be at an exciting level!

Hello players, game followers and playtest participants!

[previewyoutube=x3rlNfjYkKs;full][/previewyoutube] I rarely post on the main game channel, but today's update is for everyone, not just our Playtest participants. Here's what we'll cover:

• Game and Playtest Status
• Release Plans, especially regarding Early Access
• Details on Our New Indiegogo Campaign
• Best Places to Stay Updated

Feel free to ask questions in this thread; I'm here to answer them all!

Game and playtest status

Development on HIRAETH continues with regular Steam Playtest updates. While I'm a solo developer, the pace matches that of larger teams due to the complexity involved.
Remember, the Playtest version isn't a demo but a tool for refining the game, currently lacking full gameplay features and optimized for testing, not final user experience.

PROGRESS

Since our Kickstarter, we've introduced:

• Save/Load System: For player and world states.
• Dynamic Weather System: Including calendar-based events like sandstorms and blizzards.
• New Weapon System: With various weapons and ammo types.
• Enhanced AI: Including flying drones.
• First Vehicle: Among other unannounced updates.

Some of these features are in Playtest; others are slated for Early Access or beyond.

Release plans

As you can see on Steam the planned release date is 2024 and there is not much time left. Although this date is still valid, I want to release a game that is polished and interesting for you.

Early Access

Early Access will feature "ETERNAL" mode, an endless survival sandbox with diverse locations ranging from deserts to Arctic zones, each with unique challenges and biomes.

Full game

Full Game Release will follow Early Access, expanding on "ETERNAL" and introducing "REVELATIONS", a story mode with the first of five planned chapters.

Indiegogo campaign

We've just launched the pre-launch page for our Indiegogo campaign, aiming to fund further development and high-quality elements like a fully orchestral soundtrack by Michele Masin, known for his work on films like "1917" and "Midsommar." This campaign is crucial for hiring voice talent, like Andy Mack from "Dying Light 2" and for general game refinement. Support at this stage means exclusive perks at a fraction of the final game's cost.

Why Indiegogo?

A lot of heart, sweat and blood went into HIRAETH. A lot has been done, but the success of the project lies in the details, which take time, and time is money. Every aspect of HIRAETH requires meticulous attention, from sound design to voice acting. Funds from Indiegogo will ensure these elements meet AAA standards, enhancing your experience significantly. [previewyoutube=ZNz6EDQ7EBY;full][/previewyoutube] There are still many necessary expenses I'm sure they're all worth every cent! I will allow myself to post new information about the Indiegogo campaign soon. I count on your support, even if it's just spread the word! Thank you ss2heart

Hello! We've had a lot of players for a week, but not everyone knows what Steam Playtest is, which is understandable. I prepared a quick, but containing many valuable tips, video on YouTube https://youtu.be/a72dnZ2B5Ws?si=FZJVxgoDcHK8kG-M I also encourage you to read basic information about Playtest https://hiraethgame.com/steam-playtest/ It's best to join our Discord where you will get the best help!

The Time Has Finally Come!

Join us at Jade Horse Games as we launch our flagship title, HIRAETH on kickstarter. Kickstarter is a place where we can secure proper funding, build an expansive community, and all while rewarding backers for their amazing support with exclusive items and content. Donators can earn unique rewards, such as high tier donors being Immortalized in HIRAETH, and some backers can also gain access to exclusive tests, allowing their direct feedback to influence the gameplay. Each tier will feature unique rewards, benefits, and perks.

SUPPORT US NOW ON KICKSTARTER!

[previewyoutube=wiCtvfeWfTo;full][/previewyoutube] https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/hiraeth-game/hiraeth-sci-fi-survival-game-with-rich-story-pc-consoles As we make our final preparations for our launch, we wanted to highlight this incredible journey some of us have been fortunate to be a part of.

The Journey

HIRAETH started as nothing more than a dream disguised as a gameplay test by our team lead. After he uploaded the small showcase, he received dozens of propositions, and within a few weeks, he found himself leading an ambitious team from around the globe. This was two years ago, and our team has been hard at work since.
As our team has grown, so has our ambitious efforts to turn HIRAETH into the best survival game on the market. This kickstarter not only serves as a financial opportunity for the game and our team, but also as a symbol of our growth and continued efforts. So much time, work, funds, dedication, and heart has been poured into HIRAETH and it has all led our team here. As we stand on the edge of success, we cant help but feel thankful for the opportunity and the community that has supported us along the way. This kickstarter campaign will build a path toward Early Access, propelling the game, community, and our team to new heights.

Toward the Future

It has been a long journey and we cannot wait to see where it takes us next. To know more about the Kickstarter campaign, the game, and more, we invite players to join our discord, which will have exclusive kickstarter rewards, and follow our various social handles. We love hearing from interested players that want to explore the world of HIRAETH. https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/hiraeth-game/hiraeth-sci-fi-survival-game-with-rich-story-pc-consoles https://store.steampowered.com/app/2646160/Hiraeth/

Hello space survivalists!

No news on the Hiraeth Steam page is good news! We are preparing the game for open playtesting on Steam, which should start this month - no registration or key activation will be required, just click play!
There will be no demo or early access yet, but a large playable area of Nesoi Island on Ahra Prime and a separate extensive Training Center with numerous tasks that will familiarize candidates with the art of survival
All completed game features will be available, many are still in development. There will also be saving and loading of the game state - without restrictions (i.e. no save limit, but according to the rules of the game at medium difficulty level, i.e. with a one-time save, to be loaded at the start).
We count on fans of the genre testing it, Hiraeth is a real survival game, quite far from arcade games, although with good gameflow. There will be a survival sandbox mode available in playtest, which in Hiraeth is called ETERNAL mode. A story mode called REVELATIONS will be available at a later date, probably in or after Early Access.

Salute to future survivors

We are working intensively on the release of the game, but in connection with the launch of the website on Steam, we are starting to work with the gaming community. We invite everyone willing to join our growing community - thanks to this, you will be kept informed about the plans and fate of the game, and your voice can shape the game over time! You can also support the development of the game. Your presence alone is a great help in popularizing the game, and if you are willing, you can also support us in other ways. This expanded support offers rewards, such as having your name featured within the game. Further details below.
Join our community center HIRAETH Discord. Thanks to your presence on our Discord, you will have access to first-hand information published on an ongoing basis.

Meet the creators

We also invite you to regular meetings with creators! The next one will take place on Friday, December 10 - details on HIRAETH Discord

Other news channels, social media

Please visit the game's official website. Being aware of current trends, we decided not to publish news here in favor of Discord and X/Twitter. You can also find us on other social platforms. You can find video reports on our YouTube including a devlog with early gameplay. More content is on the way, including sneak peaks of more gameplay and shorts.

Actively support the development of the game

We have been developing HIRAETH for over a year using our own funds and have independently reached the pre-Steam Playtest stage, which should take place soon. Like many indie teams, any support is very important to us, especially at this stage. Simultaneously with the publication of the game's website on Steam, we launched a profile on Patreon.

Patreon

We've put a few support steps on Patreon. For $1 you can simply tell us that you like our work. Higher support will give you access to off-stage content, special Discord channels, free content, keys to the game and much more, including having your name featured within the game and website.

Kickstarter

We are currently preparing a kickstarter campaign, which should launch in the coming weeks. The kickstarter will be vital in achieving our goal to make Hiraeth the greatest survival experience. In order for that to happen, we require support, so that we can build and share our vision of Hiraeth.
