What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“Saleblazers in Early Access is already something we're proud to give players to enjoy for countless hours on end.

We made our indie game studio to inspire wonder by delivering satisfying experiences that maximize self-expression. With Saleblazers, we went all-in on its core pillars of sandbox shopkeeping and open world adventuring. We really need a lot of player feedback to solidify design decisions for the remainder of the game.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“We believe that Saleblazers will be in Early Access for at least 2 years.”

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

“The Early Access version of the game sets up a nice foundation for shopkeeping systems, questlines, and the game's world. In the full version, we plan to finish out the main campaign story and offer deeper shopkeeping mechanics that will hopefully bring even more memorable experiences.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“There's currently a narrative campaign set in an open world with several towns, enemies, world bosses, and PVP invasions. The shopkeeping system is already quite robust, allowing players to experiment with different shop builds involving employees, shop policies, and electricity.”

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

“We plan to raise the price throughout and upon exiting Early Access alongside major content updates.”

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

“We'll monitor our Steam community forums and Discord server to fix issues and gather feedback on how to make Saleblazers better for our full release.”
