Coming Soon To Early Access

The developers of this game intend to release as a work in progress, developing with the feedback of players.

Note: Games in Early Access are not complete and may or may not change further. If you are not excited to play this game in its current state, then you should wait to see if the game progresses further in development. Learn more

What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“We're offering Early Access because we want to build DSS alongside our community. The core gameplay loop — receiving orders, designing custom products in our Pochotop editor, producing and delivering them — is fully playable. But there's still content we want to add before v1.0, and real player feedback will help us prioritize what matters most. Early Access lets us grow the game with the people who enjoy it.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“We estimate approximately 6 to 9 months in Early Access. This is our best current estimate and may adjust based on community feedback and development progress.”

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

“The Early Access version includes the full Era 1 gameplay loop and a functional Era 2. For v1.0 we plan to include: additional product types and equipment, Era 3 (a dedicated storefront setting), expanded customer variety and story moments, Steam Achievements, additional language support, and overall visual and gameplay polish.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“DSS is fully playable through Era 1 and into Era 2. You can receive orders from online clients and walk-in customers, design custom products in the Pochotop editor, produce and deliver them, manage your studio's reputation, and progress your business. The game has been in active development and internal playtesting for several months.”

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

“We plan to increase the price when the game leaves Early Access and reaches v1.0, reflecting the additional content and polish. We want to reward early supporters with the lower launch price.”

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

“We plan to engage with players through Steam Community discussions, regular development updates, and social media. Player feedback will directly influence which features and content we prioritize. We'll share progress regularly and listen to what the community wants to see next in DSS.”

About This Game

Your empire starts with one order.


Design Studio Simulator: Print Your Empire puts you in charge of a real print-on-demand studio — from a spare bedroom setup with a basic iron to a full production studio serving dozens of clients. Every product you deliver, you designed yourself.

A real design editor, not a click-to-craft button


Open your design workstation and create custom graphics for every order. Place text, add stickers, pick print zones, choose styles — then send it to production. The client asked for "ska vibes on the back in black"? That's on you to deliver.

  • Custom design editor with text, stickers, styles, and print zones

  • T-shirts, stickers, mugs, thermoses, caps, and more

  • Real order evaluation — clients notice if something's off

  • Reputation system — earn loyal regulars, lose careless mistakes

  • Walk-in customers, online orders via PrintGram, and free-mode designs to sell

  • Supply management — buy materials, track stock, plan deliveries

Grow across eras


Start in Era 1 with the basics. Unlock Era 2 with better equipment, a bigger space, and more demanding clients. Your studio evolves as your skills grow — each era feels like a new chapter.

Chill by design


No punishing timers. No game over screen. Design Studio Simulator is built around creativity and satisfaction, not stress. Take your time on a design. Retry a bad order. Build your brand your way.

🛠️ Early Access


Design Studio Simulator launches in Early Access with Era 1 and Era 2 fully playable. Active development continues — new products, new eras, and community feedback shape what comes next.

Build your empire one order at a time.
