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 16 - 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:

• Complete Management features
  
• 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

The full version of Mall Craze will also contain these 3 game modes:

• Sandbox Mode*
  
• Management Mode
  
• Campaign Mode

*currently present in the game

Sandbox mode (Builder mode)
This mode enables you to fully realise your creative potential. No locked shops behind research or finances, just your imagination.

Management Mode (name may change in the future)
Management 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.

Campaign Mode
Custom scenarios and challenges.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“Currently, Mall Craze is a mall builder, meaning that you can Build and Customize your mall. Throughout Early Access, more Management features will be added.

Besides sandbox game mode, Mall Craze also currently offers:

• Shop types of various kind - clothing, electronics, sports, and music
  
• On average 15 - 20 unique product display tables for every shop type
  
• Customization features for your products, shops, and mall
  
• Pre-build malls

”

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

“The price may moderately increase throughout Early Access and during Full Release.”

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.

Besides this, I will also release Development Updates and Patch Notes here on Steam, some of which may also include a direct request for feedback from the community.”
