Varför Early Access?

“Early Access allows us to develop the game in close collaboration with the community. Empire of Vice: Chicago relies heavily on player choices, balance, and event variety, and player feedback is essential to refine these systems. Early Access gives us the time and flexibility needed to improve content, fix issues, and expand the experience before the full release.”

It includes one complete scenario, corresponding to the game’s base experience, as well as three starting characters, each providing a different playstyle and initial setup.
The core strategy, management, and narrative mechanics are already implemented, and this version serves as a foundation upon which content and systems will be gradually expanded and improved.”

Hur planerar ni att involvera gemenskapen i er utvecklingsprocess?

“We plan to involve the community primarily by gathering player feedback and engaging directly with them through the Steam forums. Player suggestions, discussions, and reports will help us identify priorities, improve balance, and refine existing mechanics.
Early Access is first and foremost a space for exchange, where players can actively take part in the game’s evolution.”
