Why Early Access?

“Mall Craze is a very complex game, and my vision is to provide the best mall simulation experience possible. As such, the game requires feedback from the community to ensure that the game stays on course.

So far, the feedback from the community has proven to be extremely helpful, and Early Acccess will help improve upon the game even further.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“The goal is to leave Early Access and release the Full version of the game in 12 - 24 months from the Early Access release.”

How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version?

“The full version of Mall Craze is planned to be more feature complete, polished, and optimized.
Some of those features will be:

• New shop types, products, and stalls
  
• Complex facilities such as Movie Theater or Fitness Center
  
• Campaign mode (name may change to Scenario / Challenge mode)
  
• New environments to build your mall in
  
• Translation to more languages

”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“In it's current state, Mall Craze offers 2 game modes:

• Linear mode
  
• Sandbox mode

Linear mode (name may change in the future)
Linear mode offers a well known tycoon experience. You start from the beginning and progress your way up. During gameplay, you unlock new shop types, products, decorations, and much more.

Sandbox mode
This mode helps you fully realise your creative potential. No locked features, just your imagination.

Besides 2 game modes, Mall Craze also currently offers:

• Shop types of various kind - clothing, electronics, sports, music, and more ..
  
• On average 15 - 20 unique product display tables for every shop type
  
• Customization features for your products, shops, and mall
  
• Dashboard window to easily manage your mall

”

Will the game be priced differently during and after Early Access?

“The price may moderately increase once the game is out of Early Access.”

How are you planning on involving the Community in your development process?

“Mall Craze's community is already flourishing on our Discord server, where you can find important announcements, videos and screenshots from behind the scenes, conversations in regards to the development, but also a laid back and friendly chat about the game and tycoon genre as a whole.
In the future, I also plan to re-introduce YouTube videos. These videos are currently on hold, as the focus has shifted mainly on the development itself.”
