Why Early Access?

“The game is being released in Early Access to allow players to experience it in its current, playable state while development continues.
Early Access provides an opportunity to observe how players interact with the existing systems, identify potential issues, and better understand which areas of the game feel complete and which could benefit from further refinement.

At this stage, the core gameplay loop is implemented and functional.
Early Access helps ensure that future development decisions are informed by real player experiences rather than assumptions, while players clearly understand that the game may change over time.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“We expect the game to remain in Early Access for approximately 12 months.

This period may be extended if additional time is needed to improve stability, balance, or overall quality based on development progress and player feedback.”

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

“The Early Access version focuses on the core gameplay experience, allowing players to run an antique shop, trade items, manage finances, and progress through the game’s main systems.

During Early Access, development will primarily focus on:
- Expanding existing gameplay systems and progression depth
- Improving economic balance and pacing
- Adding new shop-related content, upgrades, and quality-of-life improvements
- Enhancing visuals, animations, and overall polish
- Fixing bugs, improving performance, and increasing stability

The planned full version is intended to deliver a more complete, refined, and polished experience compared to Early Access, with smoother gameplay flow and improved overall presentation.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The Early Access version is fully playable and contains the main gameplay features.
Players can buy and sell items, manage and upgrade their shop, and progress through the game loop.

While the game is functional and offers a complete core experience, some systems may still be adjusted, refined, or expanded as development continues.
Players should expect occasional bugs or balance changes, which are a normal part of an Early Access experience.”

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

“The price of the game may change during Early Access depending on the state of development.

As development progresses and the game approaches full release, 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 will be monitored throughout the Early Access period.
Player input may help identify technical issues, balance concerns, and areas where the experience can be improved.

Feedback from players will be considered alongside development goals to help guide future adjustments, where appropriate.”
