Hello, minions!
Moriana sends her dark regards and wishes you (and herself) a year brimming with wicked triumphs! May her hordes grow ever larger, and her followers fall deeper in love with her—even if, ultimately, they don’t have much of a choice.
So, what’s happening here at Polished Games? After a much-needed break, we’ve returned with our heads buzzing with ideas and our hands ready to bring them to life. We’ve dived straight into brainstorming, discussions, and planning sessions to shape what 2025 will look like for Be My Horde.
We’ll admit—we’ve been a bit reserved when it comes to sharing development updates. For example, we’ve never released an official roadmap (gasp!), and at this stage we probably won’t. BUT we’re committed to being more transparent in the months ahead. Be My Horde began as a small, humble project, but thanks to the incredible response to our demo (launched almost a year ago!), we’ve significantly expanded its scope. After the Early Access launch and receiving even more great feedback, we expanded it once more! In other words, you may say we were improvising quite a bit last year!
Now, as we move into 2025, our plans are finally crystallizing. While there are still some unknowns regarding specific dates and final content details, one thing is clear: we have a plan, and it’s an exciting one! To show our commitment to transparency, here are some FACTS we’re ready to share with you right now:
FULL VERSION - WHEN?
The full version of Be My Horde will launch later this year. We don’t want to linger in Early Access for long (the project remains intentionally compact), so we aim to release the 1.0 version in 2025.
HOW MANY LEVELS?
The final game will feature three levels, each boasting unique environments, enemies, mechanics, and, naturally, epic bosses.
NEW LEVEL - WHEN?
The first level, “Kingdom” (starring Richard III Ovine), is already available. The second level is set to launch in a few months. Development on this next chapter of Moriana’s journey is extensive, so expect fewer major updates in the immediate future as we focus on making this addition truly special and huge.
MORE DETAILS?
More behind-the-scenes content is on the way. We’re lifting the curtain on our development process with more work-in-progress reveals and fewer secrets. You can look forward to regular updates here, on our social media platforms, and especially on our official Discord server. If you’re eager for real-time updates on new content, changes, or improvements, be sure to join us there!
FINAL LEVEL - WHEN?
The third and final level will arrive alongside the game’s full release in the second half of the year.
WHAT ELSE?
We’re focusing on replayability. Beyond creating new levels, we’re dedicating time to introducing additional abilities and features to enhance the game’s longevity. This is a survivor game, after all, so we’re aiming to deliver a variety of options and achievements.
MORE STORY?
The story of Be My Horde will expand, but don’t expect a sprawling RPG. While we’re committed to crafting an engaging lore, compelling characters, and a solid script, our focus remains on delivering a straightforward and enjoyable experience. You can look forward to more dialogue with Moriana’s foes, a few unexpected twists along the way, and more actors joining the cast.
MORE SKINS?
Yes, there will be more skins for Moriana. ;)
In the coming weeks, we’ll begin unveiling details about the second level, which is set to launch in several months. Starting in February, expect regular teases of new enemies and mechanics. But why wait?... Please, say “hello” to ██████, the next boss Moriana will face on her path. Who is he? What’s his backstory? You’ll have to stay tuned to find out!
Finally, a huge thank you for your continued support! Reading your reviews, hearing your feedback, and watching you enjoy the game has been nothing short of a dream for us. Take care, and as always…
PRAISE BE MORIANA!
