Why Early Access?

“We chose to release Ice Cream Shop Simulator in Early Access to involve the community in the development process. Through real feedback and suggestions, we aim to improve balancing, refine the co-op experience, and expand content variety. The game is already fully playable, and we believe that player contributions can help make it more complete and memorable.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“We plan to remain in Early Access for about 6 to 12 months. However, this timeframe may change depending on the feedback we receive and the improvements we decide to implement. Our goal is to deliver a polished and enjoyable experience before the full release.”

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

“We intend to include more content, features, and improvements based on the feedback we receive during Early Access. We aim to expand the overall scope of the game by adding new gameplay elements, refining existing systems, and improving the user experience. While we have a clear vision of what we’d like to achieve, the details may evolve throughout development. Our priority is to provide a stable, refined, and engaging experience.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The Early Access version of Ice Cream Shop Simulator includes the core shop management mechanics such as taking orders, serving customers, preparing milkshakes and slushies, along with key features like interactive NPCs, customer behavior, shop customization, and beachside environments. Players can already experience a significant portion of the game. Development is ongoing, and we continue to add content and evaluate the feedback we receive. Our main focus is to improve existing systems, polish the overall experience, and expand on what already works.”

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

“The sale price may increase depending on the amount and importance of the content added during development.”

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

“We plan to gather player feedback through Steam updates, in-game surveys, our official Discord server, and social media channels. Suggestions, bug reports, and feature requests will help us prioritize updates and define future content in collaboration with the community.”
