Why Early Access?

“Elite Class is a teaching simulator designed to evolve with the needs of educators and players. Early Access allows us to gather valuable feedback from the community, refine core mechanics, and expand content based on real-world classroom scenarios. By involving players early, we can ensure the final game is both engaging and educationally impactful.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“A single developer is working on this so it may take some time to get out of Early Access. We plan to remain in Early Access for approximately one year. This timeline gives us room to implement new features, polish existing systems, and respond meaningfully to community feedback.”

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

“We plan for the full version of Elite Class to offer a more complete experience, potentially including additional teaching scenarios, expanded customization options, improved AI behavior, and refined gameplay systems. Our goal is to build on the foundation laid during Early Access by adding more content, polishing mechanics, and enhancing overall performance. However, development priorities may shift based on player feedback and feasibility.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The Early Access version includes the core gameplay loop: managing a classroom, interacting with students, and navigating teaching challenges. While playable and functional, some features are still in development, and content is limited compared to our full release roadmap. Players can expect regular updates and improvements throughout the Early Access period.”

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

“Yes. We plan to increase the price once Elite Class exits Early Access to reflect the expanded content and improved experience. Purchasing during Early Access offers players a lower price and the opportunity to help shape the game’s development.”

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

“Player feedback is central to our development. We’ll actively monitor forums, reviews, and social channels to gather suggestions, bug reports, and ideas. Regular updates will include patch notes and developer insights, and we’ll host community polls to prioritize new features. Our goal is to build Elite Class alongside the educators and gamers who play it.”
