Why Early Access?

“What was once planned as a crafting, simulator, passion project, quickly became a whole new adventure. As the game rapidly expanded and evolved into the massive project that is 'Open Bar', we wanted to make sure our limited resources were being allocated as wisely as possible, being we're a small development studio. With that, we think Early Access is perfect fit for the current status of 'Open Bar'. It allows us to gather valuable feedback and interest in specific content, while allowing players to enjoy both the joys and frustrations of being a bartender. Happy Pouring!”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“Dependent upon community feedback and interest, estimated at least 2 years.”

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

“Based on community feedback and interest, we're hoping to have all game functions functioning properly as planned, quality of life changes to provide a smoother game experience, possibly new game modes, and potentially much more...”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“Constructed on a very solid foundation and massively built upon. With hours and hours of available game play and over 100 different beverages to serve, you'll be pouring, tapping, popping, mixing, and crafting the perfect cocktails in no time.”

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

“We currently have no plans to increase the price. Possible prices increases upon update releases.”

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

“The community will play a critical roll in the development and direction of 'Open Bar'. The fact that we are a small independent game developer, it is vital that we utilize our time very strategically. Receiving important feedback from the community will help us achieve that, while also being an incredibly valuable resource assisting us in determining what and where our attention is best served, currently or in the future.”
