What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“I'm launching the game in Early Access to develop it in collaboration with the community.

Your feedback will help me improve the balance, fix bugs, and guide future features.

The goal is to build a more robust final version that better meets your expectations.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“I anticipate the game will remain in Early Access for approximately 3 to 6 months.

This duration may, of course, change based on your feedback and any necessary adjustments.

Other features are still planned and will enrich the game with future updates: I have several major projects underway to deliver a truly complete and polished experience upon the final release.”

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

“The final version will offer even more features, content, and an enhanced experience: I plan to add technologies (4G, 5G, etc.), a multiplayer mode for more than two players, and several new playable countries.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The game is already fully playable and offers significant content, including a multiplayer mode and support for multiple technologies (1G, 2G, 3G). France is currently the only playable country, and the AI ​​opponents are already quite advanced. Some features not yet implemented are still to be added.

All known bugs have been fixed, and to my knowledge, there are no issues preventing players from enjoying the game smoothly.”

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

“I don't plan to raise the price after the early access period.

However, this may be reconsidered if the content changes significantly before the final release.”

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

“Your feedback is essential: I'm developing this game for the community, not for myself!

Feel free to join the Discord server to share your opinions, suggestions, and ideas for improvement. Your input will directly guide future updates.”

About This Game

Network Empire is a management and simulation game where you play the boss of a telecom operator in Europe (5 countries for now). Unlock regions, deploy antennas, manage your rates and marketing, and upgrade your network from 2G to 5G to dominate the market against competitors. A game can be played solo or multiplayer, progressing over time with missions, challenges, and objectives to complete.

Build your network

On a map of 5 countries divided into regions, you unlock territories, then place antennas to ensure coverage. Each antenna has a range, a technology (1G to 5G), and can be upgraded to increase its capacity. Coverage, deployment and maintenance costs, as well as competition, determine your revenue and market share.

Manage your business

Subscription fees, marketing budget, and reputation directly impact customer numbers and revenue. Statistics (market share, revenue, expenses, reputation) and charts help you refine your strategy. You unlock technologies (2G, 3G, 4G, 5G) over time by paying for licenses, enabling you to offer a more efficient and attractive network.

Missions, Challenges, and Objectives

Missions guide you (first antenna, national coverage, monthly revenue, market share, etc.), and active challenges offer rewards in cash or unlocked regions. Progress is saved; you can resume a single-player game or continue a multiplayer game.

Single-player or multiplayer

Play alone with unlimited saves, or launch a multiplayer game (create or join a game, save the shared game). Time progresses at an adjustable speed (pause, 1x, 3x, 5x, max) to quickly advance through the simulation.

Key Features:

  • Map of 5 countries by region with progressive unlocking

  • Antenna deployment, coverage, and 1G to 5G technologies (1G, 2G and 3G technologies are implemented for now)

  • Pricing, marketing, and reputation management

  • Statistics, graphs, and company overview

  • Single-player mode with save states and multiplayer mode (2-players for now)
