Why Early Access?

“We've come to realize that creating a game that resonates with the community requires more than just our initial design efforts. Actively listening to player feedback and incorporating their suggestions is crucial. Therefore, we've chosen to utilize Steam Early Access as a valuable avenue for gathering feedback from players. Our goal through this process is to develop this game into a fun visual programming learning simulation.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“Our plan is to enter early access in about three months or once all the required features in the game have been implemented. However, we remain open to the possibility of extending this timeline should there be features suggested by players that could contribute to enhancing the game's quality.”

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

“In the early stage of Early Access, we introduced the core game system with 3 robots that can be programmed to do ranch management and we plan to introduce 4 animals and 4 commodities.

Our plan in full version is to implement the following features and contents:
- An enjoyable end goal for the game.
- Challenging objectives to keep players engaged.
- Adding a plant commodity farm system to be managed by robots, so there will be 2 systems that can handled by the player.
- Adding new types of ranch commodities.
- Any new additional features that are expected by the player community.

The list above may change based on feedback, players' suggestions, and the development's state or condition, so during this Early Access phase, our main objective is to collect valuable feedback from players, enhance the current features, and address any issues or suggestions that arise. The game is expected to progress and improve gradually as we integrate player input and strive to accomplish our stated objectives. We encourage players to actively engage, provide feedback, and contribute to shaping the game's future development throughout its Early Access period.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“Currently, the Early Access version is in the early stages of development. We've introduced the core gameplay systems, including how to manage the ranch by utilizing the robots available in the game's early levels. Players will be asked to program the robot to manage the ranch. They will face increasing challenges presented at each level.

During this Early Access phase, our main objective is to collect valuable feedback from players, enhance the current features, and address any issues or suggestions that arise. The game is expected to progress and improve gradually as we integrate player input and strive to accomplish our stated objectives. We encourage players to actively engage, provide feedback, and contribute to shaping the game's future development throughout its Early Access period.”

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

“Currently, there are no plans to change the pricing either during or after the early access period. However, adjustments may occur post-early access, and we'll keep players informed through devlogs or Steam news updates.”

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

“During the Early Access phase, our commitment lies in nurturing a collaborative development process with our community. Here's how we plan to involve our players:

1. Utilizing Feedback Forums within the Steam Community.
2. Integrating In-Game Feedback mechanisms.
3. Encouraging Bug Reporting through either the Steam Community or In-Game Reporting.
4. Hosting Feature Discussions on the Steam Community platform.
5. Our collaborative methods involve actively seeking and incorporating feasible suggestions with varied execution strategies that resonate with players' expectations. By closely engaging with our player community, we aim to create an environment where player feedback significantly influences the game's evolution. This iterative approach ensures that the final release closely aligns with the desires and expectations of our player base.

We deeply appreciate the efforts and contributions of all players and contributors. As a gesture of gratitude, we will credit players who contribute suggestions and feedback during the Early Access development phase directly within the game.”
