Dear Topians,

We want to start by saying thank you—truly—for being part of the Hometopia journey. Your creativity and support have meant the world to our small team.

After an incredible run, we’ve made the very difficult decision to end active development and live operations for Hometopia. While we had bigger dreams for it, funding constraints mean this is the final version. Our team is no longer able to support updates, bug fixes, or new features.

That said, Hometopia will remain live and fully playable for anyone who owns it—and starting April 2, we’re offering it at a legacy discount of $8.99 so even more players can experience what the community helped build. This is our way of preserving the game and giving fans a chance to enjoy it on their own terms.

Starting April 2, Hometopia will enter “Legacy Mode”:

  • All current content will remain playable

  • The game will continue to be available on Steam

  • No further updates, bug fixes, or technical support will be provided

  • Community spaces like the Steam forums and Hometopia Discord will remain open for players to connect and share; however we will revisit this policy if the Discord becomes overwhelmed with spam or toxic content

We heard you in the reviews, discord and discussions that pulling career mode out during development has frustrated many of you. Career mode is still available to play in an older version of the game. If you'd like to revisit the old Career Mode, just follow these simple step s:

  1. Right-click Hometopia in your Steam library

  2. Select Properties

  3. Go to Betas

  4. Choose "Hometopia Old Career Mode" from the dropdown menu

We know this news may be disappointing—it is for us too. We poured our hearts into Hometopia and dreamed of building it alongside you for years to come. While this chapter is coming to a close, we’re proud of what we created, and even prouder of the community that formed around it.

Thank you for building with us. Thank you for dreaming with us. We hope to create something new together again someday.

— The Hometopia Game Dev Team
