What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“Early Access is going to be a great way to implement "Showbiz Tycoon" based on community feedback to make it more fun and more enjoyable for more players.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“At least 2 months.”

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

“The biggest difference between the early access version and the full version will be the artificial intelligence, with competing studios taking actions considering player decisions and improving game balance. There will also be more features like buying movies from competing studios.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“All the main idea of the game is already included. You can create your movie studio, produce, sell, release them and participate in awards.”

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

“The price of the game will not change after the release of the full version.”

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

“Community involvement will take place through the steam forum. All suggestions will be read and analyzed.”
