Why Early Access?

“We’ve embraced a community-driven development model from the start, and Early Access is the perfect opportunity to continue growing Storage Hunter Simulator with our players' direct input. While the game is already fully playable, we have exciting features planned, such as multiplayer modes, item testing mechanics, and an expanded pricing system. We also aim to introduce new storylines centered around collecting rare items or completing collections. Early Access allows us to fine-tune these features with feedback from our players, ensuring that the final version reflects the community’s desires. Our goal is to shape the best experience together, knowing that the foundation is already solid, but there is still room to expand and refine the game based on feedback.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“One year.”

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

“The full version of Storage Hunter Simulator will significantly expand on the Early Access experience. We plan to introduce several major features that are currently in development. These include multiplayer modes, where players can compete or cooperate in auctions, and more advanced item evaluation systems, allowing players to test and price their findings with greater accuracy. We also aim to add more storylines focused on tracking down specific rare items or completing themed collections.

Additionally, we plan to increase the variety of locations and auctions, offering new environments for players to explore and bid in. Our item database will also be expanded, bringing a wider range of collectibles and treasures to discover. We’re working closely with our community to ensure that the final version reflects player feedback and preferences, ensuring a well-rounded and polished game.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The Early Access version of Storage Hunter Simulator is fully playable and offers a substantial amount of content. Players can currently enjoy four distinct auction locations, participate in a robust fame-based progression system, and manage their own customizable pawnshops. Additionally, the game features housing decoration options that allow players to personalize their homes. During our demo and beta phases, many players have invested dozens of hours into the game, demonstrating its replayability and overall stability. While the core gameplay is solid, we’re committed to expanding and refining it further as development continues.”

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

“Yes, we plan to increase the price once the game exits Early Access. This reflects the additional content and features, such as the multiplayer mode, enhanced item evaluation systems, and expanded auction locations. We want to ensure that Early Access supporters are rewarded for their early investment and trust in the project, so the current pricing offers great value compared to the full release​”

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

“We believe the community is key to shaping Storage Hunter Simulator, and we plan to involve players at every stage of development. Our primary platforms for gathering feedback will be the Steam Community Hub and our dedicated Discord server, where players can directly communicate with the development team. We will also run regular polls and surveys to gauge player interest in new features and improvements. These channels will allow us to prioritize updates and ensure we’re creating a game that reflects player desires.

We’ll hold community events and discussions to gather ideas, and early adopters will have a unique opportunity to test new content, including multiplayer modes, before they’re fully released. Additionally, we’ll provide detailed development updates and roadmaps to maintain transparency throughout the process. By working closely with our players, we aim to deliver the best version of Storage Hunter Simulator possible”
