Why Early Access?

“We’re using Early Access to gather structured player feedback while we iterate on core systems such as building/expansion, customer flow, reputation, and order assembly. Our goal is to refine balance, performance, and usability with real-world play before a full release. Early Access helps us learn what resonates, prioritize improvements, and make better decisions with the community’s input.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“We expect to remain in Early Access until the core experience feels stable and well-balanced. Our current estimate is roughly 9–15 months, but timing may change based on feedback and development realities. We’ll share progress updates as we go rather than commit to fixed dates.”

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

“We plan to expand and polish the experience over time. Focus areas may include:

broader gameplay variety and depth in progression and simulation,

refinements to building/expansion and service flow,

additional quality-of-life and platform support, and

general polish (audio mix, performance, UI/UX).
These are plans, not guarantees; we’ll adjust scope based on feedback and feasibility.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The current build is playable and includes the core loop: preparing and serving orders, a functional burger assembly workflow, queueing & seating AI, basic reputation effects, a computer with Market/Management/Finance panels, delivery & stock flow, and a starter build/placement system with tray-station logic. Expect bugs, tuning passes, and performance work as we iterate.”

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

“We plan to start at a lower price during Early Access and may gradually adjust the price as we add content and improvements. We currently expect a price increase for 1.0, but the exact timing and amount aren’t final. Existing owners will keep access to the game at no additional cost.”

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

“We’ll use Steam Discussions and our Discord for feedback, bug reports, and feature suggestions. We plan to post changelogs, share road-map notes, run occasional surveys, and invite players to test experimental branches. Community input will help us prioritize, but we’ll make final calls based on overall quality, feasibility, and long-term design.”
