Why Early Access?

“We chose Early Access based on our experience with previous games, as it has proven to be a very effective way to collaborate with the community from an early stage. It allows us to put the game into players’ hands sooner and learn from real feedback rather than making assumptions.

During Early Access, the focus will be on validating core features and the overall user experience: understanding which systems feel fun, identifying areas that may be confusing, and determining what needs improvement or expansion.

Feedback gathered during Early Access will help shape the game for its full release. We will continue to listen to the community and make adjustments that align with the game’s overall direction.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“We estimate that Early Access will last between 4 to 6 months, but this timeline may change depending on the game's development and community feedback.

In addition to completing content, we also want to ensure that the experimental features introduced during Early Access are enjoyable and achievable with our current capabilities.”

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

“The main difference between the Early Access and Full Version will be the features and content that are available. Various features planned based on community feedback may also be included in the Full Version.

Our focus is on developing and refining the following features for the Full Version:

1. Varied production outcomes based on packaging and commodity
2. Diverse machine pipeline variations
3. Challenges in the form of projects or contracts

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 current Early Access version is still in the initial stages of development. We have introduced the core gameplay of managing a food processing plant, including setting up production lines, processing raw ingredients, and packaging products for sale. Players can currently work with a small selection of ingredients, machines, and packaging options.

At this stage, features are still being refined, and to make the gameplay more engaging and challenging, we will gradually develop them further. Our goal is to ensure good usability and to provide meaningful challenges for players as the game evolves.

We will continue to monitor feedback from the community to improve these features, ensuring that any changes align with the overall vision and goals of the game, and are feasible to implement.”

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

“The price set for Early Access is what we consider fair for this stage of development. We remain open to the possibility of adjusting the price in the future, depending on the progress and condition of the game as we approach the full release. However, for now, this price will serve as the baseline if any changes occur later on.”

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

“We are committed to maintaining a collaborative development process with the community during Early Access. To facilitate this, we are opening up several discussion channels, including:

1. Feedback Forum through the Steam Community
2. In-Game Feedback
3. Bug Reports via Steam Community or In-Game Reporting

Our approach is to listen to all input from the community, but we will carefully evaluate which suggestions are viable and align with the goals we aim to achieve.

We hope that the feedback from players will help shape a more solid and enjoyable game experience by the time we complete Early Access.”
