Why Early Access?

“Early Access lets us refine Museum Magnate with real player input:

• Real Feedback: Your hands-on experiences help us spot issues and improve gameplay quickly.
  
• Dynamic Updates: We can experiment with features and fine-tune mechanics based on what you love.
  
• Partnership: You’re not just playing—we’re building this game together, and your insights shape our roadmap.

Your participation truly makes a difference—thanks for joining us on this journey!”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“We estimate that Museum Magnate will remain in Early Access for an extended period of several months or until we’ve fully integrated the core improvements and additional features planned (like story mode) for the full release”

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

“The full version of Museum Magnate will build upon the foundation of the Early Access release and include several key enhancements:

• Expanded Feature Set: In the final release, you can expect additional gameplay mechanics such as deeper management systems, more diverse exhibit types and an expanded artifact collection.
  
• Story Mode Implementation: One of the significant additions planned for the full release is the story mode, which will add narrative depth and context to the sandbox experience. While the current version offers complete sandbox functionalities, the story mode is scheduled to be added before the 1.0 release.
  
• Increased Customization: We plan to offer greater freedom in designing your museum’s layout and exhibits, giving you more control over its aesthetic and functional evolution.
  
• Refined Game Mechanics: Based on Early Access feedback, we will polish and balance systems like visitor behavior, staff management, and resource allocation.

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The game is a complete sandbox experience with all the essential museum-building mechanics in place—think building exhibits, managing staff, and curating rare artifacts. Note that while the sandbox elements are fully implemented, the narrative story mode is not yet available and will be added before the final 1.0 release.”

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

“We do not plan to change the price of the game.”
