What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“The aim for Early Access on This Thing of Ours is we want to get maximum feedback from the player base before we continue on with the development. We really want to hear what the players want to see in the game and if any of the current features could be improved on as we want to build a game that is adapted around the player and not just the development team.

We spent a lot of time perfecting the game world, character development, features and maximizing entertainment value for the player so it's important for us”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“New features and gameplay tweaks will continue to be added regularly throughout the early access period. We plan on upgrading the game to a full release version by late 2023/early 2024. According to our current development list.”

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

“We have a number of features already planned post-launch:

Destination travel - We plan to create an additional map where you can travel by plane!
Customizable houses and HQ.
Additional mapping
Fully working Empire Panel where you will be able to control aspects of your faction, business, finances and bribes.
Animals around the map
AI upgrade
Boats
Carwashes.
More vehicles.
More vehicle customization options.
Much more to follow!

”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“During our Early Access period you will 100% experience bugs, or issues one way or another. We will be as swift as possible to address and resolve any issues as they arise. We do our absolute best to release updates that we've tested thoroughly to reduce any bugs that may occur. To see a detailed list of features that are completed please see our features section below.”

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

“Yes it will be, after we release the full version of the game the price will go up.”

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

“Yes absolutely! Community feedback is extremely important to us as developers. We feel like their input will make the game better and more enjoyable.”

About This Game

Welcome to New Temperance, known as the last frontier for the Italian-American mafia. The two controlling La Cosa Nostra families are locked in a peaceful rivalry for the city's rackets. You play as a young hood named Vinny that's in a neighborhood-based crew known as The Beacon Hill Crew that was formed in his childhood years. With the guidance of your uncle, you learn how to make the right and wrong decisions in the underbelly of the city's underworld fraternity.

How to Make That Extra “scharole”

There are a number of ways to make a living in the city of New Temperance when a 9 to 5 doesn’t quite cut your lifestyle.

Smash and Grab
Truck Hijacking
Chop Shops
Drug Dealing
Stickups
Home Invasions

Features Worth Taking A Pinch For…

Character customization - As they say look the part, be the part. Customized Vinny with a new look whatever the occasion.
In-depth and realistic story-driven scenarios - Get a real feel of what it’s like to be an up-and-coming criminal within an organized crime family. Every mission has been created to give you a unique experience and take away that repetitive feeling.
Empire panel - Control and view information about your ever-growing empire through the Empire panel.
Money laundering - The game features a system where you will also require “clean money” to purchase legitimate assets. In order to do this, you will have to gain contacts that will turn that dirty money into clean money.

Where to meet your “goomba” and where to take your “goomah”

The city is made up of 8 different areas that all offer a unique experience, just don’t go into some of the neighborhoods after 9 PM as you might lose your kidney and your wallet.

Ferrers Green - Also known as Little Italy is the most historically riddled neighborhood of them all. If you're a tourist we recommend you grab a bite to eat at Carmines Corner or Old Papas clay house.

Harrowfield - This is an iconic situated area with cafes, nightclubs, and enough stores to shop until you drop!

Terminal Island - This is one of the busiest areas of the city. It hosts a large terminal dock that can harbor up to 4 container ships at a single given time. It’s also home to a Crafty beer brewery.

Becken Garden - Also known as China town or by the locals as Wok City. You will find some of the best cuisines and bathhouses Asia has to offer.

Fordham - Irish - American neighborhood which traces back to the 1800s. You want a pint of the finest ale Fordham is the place to be.

Whiteway beach - Literally stuck between the old and the new. In one direction you have a thriving casino in the other direction you have a once-prominent beachfront that now hosts

Flaxley - If you plan to drive through, lock your doors. If you plan to walk through there, don’t. One of the roughest drug-riddled neighborhoods in the city where the police refuse to patrol due to the sociable residents.

City limits - The picturesque scenery really does put the area into perspective filled with beautiful mountains and farmland, it really does create the perfect spot to hide a body.
