Why Early Access?

“Early access gives us the opportunity to include the community in developing Hospitalize. Everyone has a relationship with hospitals, either through own experiences or through friends or familiy. We want to capture community ideas to develop the best gaming experience possible. Feedback from the players are important to us in order to learn what you like, and to know what we can do better.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“We are currently estimating that the game will be in early access for about 12 months.”

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

“Our goal is a casual, but complex hospital simulator. It should be easy to play and uncomplicated at start, but with depth and challenge in the long run.
A fully equipped hospital will include emergency rooms, intensive care unit, mental ward and many other departments found in real hospitals.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The current state of the game features patients, illnesses and hospital management. You start the with the tools to create a basic doctor’s office and turn it into a medium size hospital. Each new game starts with a tutorial that walks you through the mechanics of the game, followed by randomly generated missions to guide you throughout the game. All patients have interactable journals with symptoms, conditions and scheduled activities.
We are currently polishing and balancing the initial content and features.”

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

“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?

“Feedback is important to know we are developing in the right direction. Player ideas and thoughts will be included whenever we are deciding on new content and drawing the roadmap for future development.
We will be present at steam forum as much as possible and available by email support.”
