Why Early Access?

“We are launching Streaming Platform Manager in Early Access because we want to involve the community from the very beginning. The core mechanics — buying content, managing subscribers, and competing with rival platforms — are already functional. However, the game’s long-term depth will grow with your feedback.

Early Access allows us to test balance, improve the economic simulation, and refine new features such as original productions, marketing systems, and international markets. By working closely with players, we can ensure the final version is fun, challenging, and replayable.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“We expect Streaming Platform Manager to remain in Early Access for 6–12 months. This timeframe gives us the opportunity to test balance, gather community feedback, and gradually implement the planned features such as original productions, marketing systems, and advanced AI competition.

The exact duration may vary depending on player feedback and development progress, but our goal is to deliver a polished and feature-rich full version within a year.”

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

“The Early Access version focuses on the core gameplay: acquiring content, managing subscribers, tracking finances, and competing against simple AI platforms. It provides a solid foundation and a complete game loop.

We plan to enhance the full version by incorporating additional details.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“We have a playable prototype where you can purchase various genres for your streaming platform and compete against other platforms in single-player mode. Additionally, you’ll face events that require you to step into the role of a manager, such as securing your IT infrastructure against DDoS attacks. You’ll need to conduct research, adapt your content, advertise it, and attract more subscribers. The game also includes an overview that tracks key metrics like income, subscriber count, and other relevant information.”

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

“We plan to gradually raise the price as we ship new content and features.”

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

“Community feedback is central to the development of Streaming Platform Manager. We want players to help shape the balance, pacing, and feature set of the game.

During Early Access, players can:

* Share suggestions and ideas through the Steam forums
* Report bugs and provide feedback on balance and mechanics.
* Vote in community polls to help us prioritize new features.

Our goal is to build the game together with the community, ensuring that the final version is fun, challenging, and replayable.
