Because we wouldn’t be here if it hadn’t been for your support, we’ve always felt that it was our responsibility to be as honest as we could with what was happening around us, and what comes next. Since the beginning, we’ve tried hard to be a transparent team. If you have API requests, we will continue to work on those, along with performance and bugfixes, until December.

To further enable this, after the 1.0 launch in July, we will continue work on our modding guide. We’re confident that in your hands, Stonehearth will be well loved, and we hope that with the modding infrastructure we’ve built, you can continue to add your own dreams to it. We remind ourselves that ownership of all games passes from the people who first created them to the people who play them. Though the prospect of moving on is quite difficult – some of us have been working on Stonehearth for five years, long enough to have watched many of you in the community move on to different phases of your life: graduating middle school, high school, college, first jobs, first children, and more – in the end, we wanted to bring the experience to a close on a strong, unified note, as opposed to a long fading out. We believe we accomplished this with the launch of A24+/Beta. We first noticed this trend at the end of last year, but since we believe so hard in this game and in making something satisfying for all of you, we agreed to remain together until we collectively felt the game was in a good place.

Finally, the game is moddable from top to bottom and its Steam Workshop page is full of content beyond our original imaginings. There is no other game in the world with a 3D builder like ours, and no other community builder that offers synchronous multiplayer the way we do. The campaign at last has a beginning, a middle, and an end, and the world of Hearth is now full of allies, enemies, classes, systems, and encounters we consider worthwhile to experience. Most of the features we originally dreamed up at the time of the Kickstarter are implemented. Stonehearth finally feels like the game we envisioned when we started on this journey.

Yeah, it’s sort of a stunning statement, especially those of us who have been working on it for so long. Really? It’s… Done? I’m sort of… stunned! Following that release, most of the team will move on to other projects, though we’ll provide support, modding guidance, and bugfixes through the end of the year. Therefore, at the end of July, we will exit Stonehearth from Steam Early Access with our 1.0 release.

The email very much reads like they wanted to do more, but the team is ready to move on and do something else. The game will be supported until the end of the year. The game is done and will come out of EA at the end of the month.
