Why Early Access?

“We opted for Early Access to involve our community in the development journey. Your feedback and ideas will guide us in making the game more enjoyable and refined. By contributing during this phase, you’ll play a key role in shaping important updates and enhancements as we move closer to the full release.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“We anticipate keeping our game in Early Access for approximately 6 to 8 months, though this timeline is subject to change. The duration may vary based on community feedback and the additional features we plan to implement. Our priority is to ensure the game reaches its full potential before launching the full release.”

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

“The full version of the game is designed to provide additional content, features, and enhancements inspired by feedback gathered during Early Access. Our aim is to expand the game's scope by introducing new gameplay elements, refining mechanics, and enhancing the overall user experience. While we have a clear vision of our goals, the specifics may evolve as development continues. Above all, our priority is to deliver a polished and engaging experience.

Currently, we are considering the following features:

An Ice Rink: Players can build it from scratch and transform it into a profitable side business.
An Outdoor Christmas Market: A new way for players to earn extra income and unlock the ability to make sales outside the shop.
Cleaning Mechanics: Shops will get dirty over time, allowing players to clean and maintain them.
A Small Train: Players can design a train and its tracks to run within the shop, arranging the rails as they wish.
These are the features we have planned for now.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The Early Access version of Amaroo's Christmas Shop Simulator offers core shop management features, including buying and selling products, along with key elements like shop customization, decoration, and automation. While players can enjoy a substantial portion of the game, we are actively adding new content and incorporating community feedback. Our main focus is on refining essential features and enhancing existing content based on player input.”

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

“The price may increase as additional content is introduced.”

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

“We aim to actively involve the community in our development process by gathering feedback and suggestions from players. Throughout Early Access, we’ll engage with the community via forums, social media, and in-game feedback tools to better understand your experiences and preferences. This valuable input will guide us in prioritizing updates, resolving issues, and adding new features to enhance gameplay. Our goal is to foster a collaborative environment where player feedback plays a key role in shaping and improving the game.”
