Varför Early Access?

“We are trying to fit into giant (pun intended) footsteps with Industry Giant 4.0 and we are keenly aware that this is a tall (dare we say gigantic) task for a young development team like us.
However, we are working to make fresh and new gaming experience while keeping the old charm. To do that we have already acquired the help of industry (pun not intended) veterans, but we need more. We need you!

By involving you in the process, we want to make sure, that we hit the spots and craft a game for our players, that they love and will play for ages. Developing and refining the game based on your feedback and reactions is important to us!”

Ungefär hur länge kommer det här spelet att vara i Early Access?

“Our plan is to stay in Early Access for about a year. As you can see from our roadmap, we have lots of plans, but we try to be flexible to be able to adjust to your needs. We want to achieve great things with you and are willing to listen and enhance the game according to what you think works best.

Some features can be completed sooner, while others are more complex and finding the time to accommodate those features will be essential for our design process.”

Hur är det tänkt att den fullständiga versionen ska skilja sig från versionen i Early Access?

“We see Early Access as a collaborative process, and we are excited to see how your feedback will shape the story of IG 4.0. We know that there is still a lot of work to do. For example, our UI and tutorial are still a little rough around the edges and might be a challenge for new players, but we want to conquer those issues with your feedback. For the full version, we are planning to add more maps and scenarios, new factories and production chains as well as sandbox/custom game and multiplayer modes.”

Hur är det nuvarande läget i versionen med Early Access?

“We’re committed to deliver a high quality gaming experience and are currently focussing on maintaining a good overall performance. We are confident, that you can easily play for 50+hrs if you are playing through our current content, but there is still a lot of things that we want to improve or implement.

During Early Access players can fully play through all available maps, try new strategies and optimize their plans. In addition, we are offering modding from day 1 and while it might not be for everybody, we are looking forward to see and try your creative work.”

Kommer spelet att prissättas annorlunda under och efter Early Access?

“As a token of our appreciation for your contributions during the Early Access, we are offering the game at a lower price until the 1.0 release. We really value your feedback and dedication to making Industry Giant 4.0 the best version of the franchise.”

Hur planerar ni att involvera gemenskapen i er utvecklingsprocess?

“From our point of view, we are in this together, this means we will be active on social media and Discord to keep you updated and to listen to your thoughts.

We will give our best to provide you with regular updates, fixes and improvements on our official Steam page.

We will also continue to create our devlogs and will provide you with insights on our decisions. As of now we can hardly wait to start this journey with you, and we are looking to pay back the trust you placed in us by being open minded, communicative and as helpful as we can be.”
