Why Early Access?

“As an independent developer, my aim is to craft a gaming experience that players can enjoy from the earliest stages. 'Mall Manager' is more than a game; it's a project born from passion and dedication. By launching in Early Access, I'm inviting the community to experience the core mechanics now, and to join in the development journey. Your feedback will be invaluable as we work towards a full release in 2024.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“The plan is to implement all core features by the end of this summer. Once the foundation is solid, I'll expand on additional features and content that have been envisioned for 'Mall Manager'. The goal is to graduate from Early Access within a year, incorporating community feedback to polish and perfect the gameplay experience.”

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

“The full version aims to enrich the game with additional management features, deeper customization, and more scenarios, building on the Early Access foundation. The focus is on evolving the game based on player feedback and the initial vision, looking forward to bringing more depth and variety to the experience.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The Early Access version offers a fully playable demo showcasing the game's fundamental systems. Players can engage with the core features and start building their retail empire, albeit in a preliminary state. This initial offering will grow and evolve based on the roadmap ahead and the insights received from players.”

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

“Early Access players have the unique opportunity to support 'Mall Manager' in its early stages and purchase at a lower price. As the game progresses and more features are added, the price will reflect the expanded content and overall value. So getting in early not only lets you shape the game's future but also offers the game at a great value.”

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

“Community involvement is crucial. Feedback, suggestions, and discussions will be actively sought through Steam forums, social media, and direct communication channels. Regular updates will address community feedback, and I'll share behind-the-scenes insights into the development process. Your input will help shape 'Mall Manager' into the tycoon game we all dream it can be. Let's create something special together.”
