Why Early Access?

“We want to create the most comprehensive and fun tattoo shop simulation possible. Early Access allows us to receive direct feedback from the community to balance the in-game economy, fine-tune the tattoo mechanics, and fix any bugs. We believe that listening to our players is the best way to add the features they truly want.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“We plan to keep the game in Early Access for approximately 6 months. However, this timeframe may change depending on the feedback we receive and the scope of new content we decide to implement.”

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

“While the Early Access version is fully enjoyable, the full release will introduce a significant amount of additional content. In the full version, we plan to significantly expand the gameplay loop. We aim to introduce new professions and side mechanics manageable via the in-game phone, such as item trading ('buy & sell'), courier jobs, and special VIP orders. We are also working on new side hustles like Mobile Kiosk management. Additionally, we continue to work on systems that will deepen the gameplay, such as player fatigue (stamina), a taxation system, and an extortion mechanic.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The current version offers a fully playable gameplay loop. Players can rent and decorate multiple different shops, provide services, and experience different tattoo machines. They can manage staff and inventory via the tablet system, explore the open world, buy real estate, and manage their life cycles. All core mechanics listed in the 'About This Game' section are currently implemented. We will continue to expand the content and improve the game based on the feedback we receive.”

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

“We do not plan to change the price when we leave Early Access. We appreciate and thank the players who buy the game during Early Access and help shape its development with their feedback and suggestions.”

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

“We will be actively monitoring the Steam Community Hub and our official Discord server to keep the community involved in every step of the process via regular updates. We value player feedback highly and aim for active interaction with our players. Since we want to develop the game collaboratively with the help of our community during the Early Access phase, we encourage players to report bugs and share their ideas.”
