Why Early Access?

“While our game is already out for Meta Quest, making Shave & Stuff available in Early Access will help us deliver a product of the highest possible quality for devices supported and used by SteamVR once we exit the Early Access stage. Receiving feedback from Steam players and acting on it will help us improve, which will benefit all Shave & Stuff players in the long run.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“For around three months after the initial release.”

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

“When the game is post-Early Access, it will feel more fluid and be polished to SteamVR standards. Get ready for some awesome achievements. Shave & Stuff Early Access already has three scenarios:

• Barbershop
• Tattoo Salon
• Creative Mode

When the game is finished for Steam, -> it should include features like:

• Steam achievements
• Special content
• Greater fluidity in line with SteamVR standards
• A fully polished feel thanks to community involvement

”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“Shave & Stuff is fully playable from A -> Z. The game contains three levels, each with new and different mechanics: Barbershop, Tattoo Salon, and Creative Mode, each with a variety of sub-scenarios. Players also have the ability to interact with six different characters.

Current flow (for Barbershop and Tattoo Salon):

• Customer asks for the look they want
• Player tries to match the look
• Customer evaluates the result (0–3 stars)

Stars are used to unlock Tattoo Salon and Creative Mode later in the game. [/list]”

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

“The price will remain the same for the full version.”
