Why Early Access?

“This version of Jidousha Shakai is a complete rewrite that is based on the original version of the game. The best parts of the original game will be taken and combined with new technology and an updated engine to provide the best Jidousha Shakai experience to date. This effort will take time and early access will allow rapid deployment of features and allow fans to fine tune and steer the game in the direction that they want.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“While no exact estimations can be made, the general rule for Early Access would be 12 months. As I continue development ,this may get smaller or bigger depending on where the game goes and how the community shapes its direction. It is important to have a solid product by the end of the Early Access phase and I am committed to that.”

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

“I hope to make an expansive sandbox vehicle simulator that has very large amounts of vehicle customization. It's important to have a decently sized vehicle list with customization and multiple large open world maps to explore, drive, and race on. After the base game is done, mod support and multiplayer will be strongly considered if the players want it.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“Currently you can buy vehicles from the car lot. You can customize those vehicles with many different parts that range from cosmetic to performance. You can drive that vehicles and explore multiple open world maps to find hot spots or participate in game events.”

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

“The price will stay the same for the near future. For each big milestone that is reached with development, the price of the game will be re-evaluated if the amount of content doesn't line up with the price at that time.”

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

“The community is the first and foremost when developing. All changes and features will be a direct result of community feedback. Our forums are a great way to get in contact and submit suggestions, feedback, and any other concerns for Jidousha Shakai. In addition you are welcome to join our official Discord server to do the same! Additionally you can engage with the community on a more personal level through Discord!”
