What if there were virtual realms that exist just beyond our reach? What if an online game became the bridge? The worlds are changing rapidly, with each side vying for a position that will secure their realm's future. In the coming war, on which side do you stand?
Good day Hackers!
We'll be launching Reboot onto Early Access on Friday 13th February! I'm very excited to show you guys what the Data Hacker universe has to offer...

My decision to take the game onto Early Access is multi-faceted, and basic common sense:
[list][*]Automatic Patching - For the Kickstarter backers, and anyone else who wants to get involved with testing the Beta, this feature is a massive time-saver when compared to re-rendering and distributing fresh DRM-free builds every couple of days.
[*]Wider testing base - As I've learned from my months here on Steam, bugs will keep coming at you. I'd really like to smooth and polish the game as much as possible in as short time as possible, making the game more enjoyable for everyone.
[*]Community Hub - A fantastic place to bounce ideas around, keep track of bugs and generally chat about how awesome it is to hack things.
For those of you who haven't been following the development at all, Reboot is a tremendous step up in terms of both game play and aesthetics. Every environment is painstakingly hand-crafted and shaded with lighting and shadows, battles are now side-oriented and the narrative covers a wide variety of interesting characters.
And then there's my favourite feature - characters can access unlocked classes at any time, mixing and matching their skill palette as they see fit. If a character unlocks a skill while training in a particular class, they can keep that skill forever, allowing you to truly customise your dream team from scratch!
