Why Early Access?

“I want to put the game into a larger player base now that the main gameplay loop has a clear vision, and work with the community to fine-tune the gameplay to make it the best it can be.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“I'm not expecting this to take long, most likely around 6 months to 1 year max. Most of the internal systems are already in place and development on newer systems and ideas have been fairly quick.”

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

“The full version is expected to have a lot more meat on it's bones with more ways to make profit, different ways to play, and more content to chew on in general. Think things like more stocks, achievements, and gamemodes.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The current state of the game has gameplay loop regarding buying and selling shares, auto buying/selling, and the newspaper, the main core mechanics of the game. Essentially, everything currently in the About This section.”

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

“Price will not change until after early access, as I feel the current price makes more sense for a smaller game with work still needed on it, compared to a finished product. The only plan for a price increase will be once the game is complete and out of early access.”

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

“The players of the game are the biggest reason as to why this game is in early access, I wanted to get the game to people specifically so that they can tell me what they want in this game. I believe this is the best way to have the game grow and flourish into a finished piece. The main places I have for discussion are the Steam forums and a community Discord, but my Bluesky is also alright if you prefer that.”
