Why Early Access?

“We’re building Suez Canal Training Simulator as a physics-driven, chaotic shipping empire sim—and we think the best way to shape it is with our players. Early Access lets us expand on our core gameplay (cargo hauling, ship upgrades, risky physics stunts) while gathering real feedback to fine-tune features, ship designs, and new over-the-top mechanics.
We’ve already launched the game on web (CrazyGames), where it’s been played by over 180K players with great feedback. Now we want to turn it into something bigger.. much bigger... or well maybe just bigger —with your help.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“We expect to stay in Early Access for about 12 months. That gives us time to expand the game’s systems, explore new modes, and polish everything with input from the community. That timeline may shift depending on feedback and feature development.”

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

“We plan to significantly expand the game’s scale and feature set during Early Access including:

- Major visual upgrades compared to the web version (better ship models, better environment, etc)
- Dynamic weather and day/night cycle
- Pirate encounters and rebel missile attacks (yes, those rebels)
- A dig-your-own-canal mode with terrain deformation
- New ship types (maybe even helicopters for container airlifts)
- A ship racing league and competitive timed missions
- More maps, ship upgrades, and high-stakes contracts
- Expanded company HQ progression and canal licenses

We’ll also be improving visuals, performance, UI, controls, and balancing along the way. This roadmap will evolve as we listen to the community and adjust priorities.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The Early Access version includes the core experience of captaining unstable cargo ships through the Suez Canal. Right now, players can:

- Accept contracts to pick up and deliver containers across different ports
- Upgrade ship systems (speed, cargo, turning, etc.)
- Purchase and unlock 4 ships
- Navigate sketchy physics and AI ship traffic
- Build your own Company HQ for permanent upgrades

It’s fun, functional and has a few hours of content, but it’s still evolving. Expect bugs, jank, and the occasional glorious disaster.”

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

“Yes. We plan to gradually raise the price as we add new features, content, and polish. Players who support us early will get a lower price and all future updates at no extra cost.”

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

“We want to build Suez Canal Training Simulator with our players. We’ll be actively gathering feedback via:

- Steam forums and in-game feedback tools
- Our community Discord server
- Regular dev updates and patch notes
- Feature polls and suggestion threads

If you’ve got ideas, bugs, or screencaps of crazy stunts—we want to know about them. The community will help steer where the game goes next (hopefully not into the canal wall again).”
