Perché l'accesso anticipato?

“Spa World is a management sim with deep systems — guest AI, staff behaviour, path-based navigation, room mechanics — and we want real players helping us balance and improve them before the full release.

Early Access lets us ship a complete, playable experience now while continuing to add the features on our roadmap: staff needs, dining, room themes, the Research Lab, and the After Hours night shift. Player feedback will directly shape how these systems work.”

Per quanto tempo questo gioco rimarrà in accesso anticipato?

“We plan to be in Early Access for approximately 6 to 12 months. The roadmap is active and updates are already in progress.”

Quali saranno le differenze fra la versione completa e quella in accesso anticipato?

“The Early Access version includes 2 playable levels, 9 room types, 8 guest archetypes, and 5 staff roles — a complete gameplay loop.

We plan to add:
- 3 additional campaign levels (Airport Spa, Mountain Retreat, Rooftop City)
- Staff needs and a Staff Room system
- Toilets and a Laundry system
- Dining (Restaurant, Bar, Snack Stand)
- Room themes with mechanical modifiers
- A Research Lab and tech tree
- Marketing and loan systems
- Group bookings and guest loyalty
- The After Hours night shift mode
- A full level-specific soundtrack
- Steam achievements and controller support”

Qual è lo stato attuale della versione in accesso anticipato?

“The game is fully playable from start to finish across 2 complete levels. It features:

- 9 room types with unique mechanics and hand-drawn props
- 8 guest archetypes with individual needs and behaviours
- 5 hireable staff roles with personality traits
- Path-based navigation — guests and staff use corridors and doors
- Dynamic room capacity scaling with room size
- A seasonal cycle affecting guest flow
- 10 random events per playthrough
- End-of-day newspaper with performance insights
- Full save/load system with autosave
- Volume controls and accessibility options

The game is stable and has been tested by multiple players.”

Il prezzo del gioco varierà durante e dopo l'accesso anticipato?

“We plan to gradually raise the price as we ship new content and features. Players who support the game during Early Access will get the best value. The price will increase when we reach v1.0 full release.”

Come pensi di coinvolgere la Comunità durante il processo di sviluppo?

“Every update on our roadmap has been shaped by player feedback. We read every comment, and bug reports go directly into the next patch.

Players can follow development through regular devlogs on Steam. We plan to use the Steam Community Hub for bug reports, suggestions, and discussion. Significant design decisions — like which roadmap feature to prioritise — may be put to a community vote.

We are a small independent developer and genuinely value direct feedback from players.”
