What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“More alternative story modes and events are to be added based on player ideas, I would also like to translate the game in many different languages before full release”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“I believe full release would be before the end of 2021, of course this might change but no longer than 1 year”

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

“I would like to add multiple new story lines, additional events, rewards and support for a number of languages.

The future story modes could be based off players ideas so that the most interesting alternate timelines can be made

Some additional late game content may also be included”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“You are currently able to create your gaming company and begin playing in the year 1980.

From this point you're able to create games to earn money and progress your company.

Office upgrades unlock at certain years giving you the option to purchase them, these include things such as hiring new staff members and creating your own gaming consoles.

You are able to place on the leaderboards (ranked every 24 hours) in a number of categories to win rewards, you're also able to earn game coins and spend these in the in-game shop”

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

“There are no planned price changes”

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

“Through discord and Steams community pages we plan to take player feedback and ideas and build the remainder of the game based on this feedback”
