Why Early Access?

“Because some games are better when they are molded by the community. While the core gameplay loop is functional and playable, it's now ready to be expanded with more features and content (recipes, more structures, etc...) and that's why Early Access. I want players to have something to play now, and then make it better and more fleshed out based on feedback. That way it's possible to have value buying now, while having more to look forward to soon.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“Since the intention for early access is to expand based on player feedback, the goal would be to leave early access in approximately 3 to 6 months. This may change based on how quickly the planned updates can be completed and/or any unforeseen complications involving updates.

The first planned updates include Hot Potato and Expansion updates which will see more uses for the spatula, hot items affecting the player and more ways to improve your bus.”

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

“The goal is to expand the game with more recipes, events and upgrades. Some of the planned updates include quality of life updates (such as multiple save slots and more settings), more placeable structures, decorations, ingredients and servable recipes.

This version should include the previously mentioned Hot Potato and Expansion updates which increase the re-playability by expanding the progression and gameplay.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“Basics of gameplay are functionally there, ready to be expanded upon and polished up. Having a solid foundation should make expanding easier and gives something to build upon in the following weeks and months.”

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

“The intention is start at a lower price, and increase based on added content. This way, initial purchasers get everything for a lower price for supporting early.”

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

“If the community has ideas for features I'd love to look into implementing them if I have the time or resources to do so. As a solo dev, I can't guarantee how much can be added but I love community feedback.”
