Why Early Access?

“Between Jobs: Fixer Sim is an ambitious simulation game that we want to build together with our community. As an independent studio, Early Access allows us to gather real player feedback, identify areas for improvement, and prioritize new features based on what players enjoy the most.

Our goal is to create the best possible experience rather than rushing to a final release. By launching in Early Access, players can actively influence the game's development while receiving regular content updates, gameplay improvements, bug fixes, and quality-of-life enhancements throughout development.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“We currently expect Between Jobs: Fixer Sim to remain in Early Access for approximately 12–18 months.

This timeline may change depending on community feedback, the scope of planned features, and the quality standards we set for the full release. Our priority is delivering a polished game rather than releasing it on a fixed date.”

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

“The full release will significantly expand upon the Early Access experience.

Planned improvements include:

A larger open world with additional locations
More repair jobs, customers, and business opportunities
Expanded progression and workshop customization
New tools, equipment, and upgrade systems
Additional gameplay mechanics and side activities
More story content and events
Improved visuals, animations, audio, and UI
Better optimization and overall polish
Ongoing balancing and quality-of-life improvements based on community feedback

Our vision is to continually grow the game into a deeper and more rewarding simulation experience.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The Early Access version offers a solid gameplay foundation with the core mechanics already playable.

Players can:

Accept and complete repair jobs
Earn money and manage finances
Upgrade tools and equipment
Explore the initial game world
Interact with customers
Experience the core repair and business management gameplay loop

While the game is fully playable, additional content, features, locations, and improvements will be introduced through regular updates during Early Access.”

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

“Yes.

We plan to offer Between Jobs: Fixer Sim at a lower price during Early Access to thank our early supporters for joining us during development.

As more content, features, and polish are added, the price may increase for the full release. Players who purchase the game during Early Access will receive all future updates leading up to Version 1.0 at no additional cost.”

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

“Community feedback is one of the most important parts of our development process.

We'll actively listen to players through:

Steam Community discussions
Discord server
Social media channels
Bug reports and feedback
Community polls and feature suggestions

We'll regularly release updates, share development progress, and communicate upcoming changes through patch notes and announcements.

Many future improvements, quality-of-life features, and gameplay refinements will be influenced by community feedback. We believe the best simulation games are built by developers who listen to their players, and that's the approach we want to take throughout Early Access.”
