Why Early Access?

“From our perspective, inviting players to share their feedback is a crucial part of the development process. It helps us improve the game in ways that truly matter to the community.

For Ranch Farm and Store Simulator, we're using Early Access once again with a new approach to validate key features and better understand what kind of user experience players expect from the game.

We believe this kind of validation is essential to deliver a stronger, more refined Full Release. As always, we’ll continue to listen to community feedback and align suggestions with the overall vision we’re aiming to achieve with this game.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“We plan to stay in Early Access for around 4 to 6 months. However, this timeline may change depending on the progress of development.

Our goal is not only to complete the planned content, but also to test and refine several experimental features introduced during Early Access. We want to ensure these features are truly fun and feasible to implement with the resources we currently have.”

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

“The main difference between the Early Access version and the Full Release will be the range of features and content available. Some of these additions may also be shaped by community feedback during Early Access.

Our current plan for the Full Version includes:
1. A wider variety of animals and crops, each with engaging growth systems
2. Expanded ranch and farm activities beyond just raising livestock or plants
3. A more rewarding content progression and upgrade path
4. A crafting system that allows players to use their own commodities with specialized production tools

Please note that these features are still in the planning stage and not tied to a fixed timeline. Our focus is to ensure that any added feature brings meaningful and enjoyable gameplay.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The game is currently in the initial stages of development. Early Access introduces the core gameplay of managing a farm, ranch, and store such as building animal pens and planter boxes, raising animals and growing crops, harvesting them, stocking commodities, and selling them in your own store. Also you get help from your employees to process it.

All of these features are still in their early versions. We plan to develop them further over time to improve usability and introduce more engaging challenges for players.

We’re closely monitoring player feedback on these systems and will continue refining them prioritizing improvements that are both viable and aligned with the game’s overall goals.”

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

“The current price reflects what we believe is a fair starting point for Early Access. As we continue to add more content and features leading up to the full release, the final price may increase to reflect the game's expanded scope and improvements.”

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

“We’re committed to developing Ranch Farm and Store Simulator collaboratively with the community throughout Early Access. To support this, we’ve opened several feedback channels:
1. Feedback forums via the Steam Community
2. In-game feedback tools
3. Bug reports through the Steam Community or in-game reporting

We welcome all suggestions and will carefully review them to see which are viable and align with the game’s overall vision. Our goal is to use community input to shape a game that’s more solid, enjoyable, and rewarding by the time we reach full release.”
