Why Early Access?

“We want to use Early Access to develop Italian Street Food Simulator together with our players. The core gameplay loop is designed to be fully playable, while player feedback will help us improve balancing, progression, customer flow, usability, and the overall day-to-day experience.

Early Access also gives us an opportunity to see which parts of running the street food business players enjoy most and use that feedback when deciding how the game should grow on the way to version 1.0.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“We currently expect Italian Street Food Simulator to remain in Early Access for approximately 6 to 12 months.

This is an estimate rather than a fixed deadline. The exact timing of version 1.0 will depend on development progress, player feedback, and when we feel the game has reached the level of content and polish we want for the full release.”

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

“During Early Access, we plan to expand and refine the existing game rather than change its core direction.

Our current plans include expanding the selection of food and equipment, adding more progression and business-development options, improving customer variety and behavior, expanding customization, and continuing to improve balancing, usability, performance, and overall polish.

The exact scope may change during development based on player feedback and what works best with the existing gameplay systems.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The Early Access version is planned to launch as a fully playable single-player experience built around running your own Italian street food business.

Players can prepare and serve a variety of street-food recipes, serve both walk-up and seated customers, manage ingredients and supplies, use different cooking equipment, purchase items for the business, manage reusable plates and cups, clean and wash used tableware, earn money, and progress through new recipes and equipment over multiple in-game days.

The core business, cooking, customer, progression, saving, Steam Cloud, and achievement systems are intended to be functional from the beginning of Early Access. We will continue improving balance, content variety, quality-of-life features, performance, and polish throughout development.”

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

“We currently plan for the Early Access price to reflect the amount of content available at that stage of development.

The price may increase as the game receives additional content and approaches the full version. Any planned price changes will be communicated to players in advance.”

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

“We plan to collect feedback through the Steam Community Hub, our community channels, player reviews, bug reports, and direct playtesting. We will use this feedback to identify issues, improve balancing and usability, evaluate progression and gameplay systems, and help determine which areas should receive the most attention during development.

We also plan to communicate development progress and important updates through Steam announcements throughout Early Access.”
