Why Early Access?

“No real product is complete till a customer or player tells us what we are missing. Or missed. We want to hear directly from players on what we can do to make the game better, faster. ”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“3 weeks depending the level of interest, the depth, intensity and brutality of the feedback. Also a function of how much feedback we will be able to take before we reach the threshold of heartbreak or we can implement in the full released version of the game. ”

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

“The Early Access version is a fully playable game. It allows a player to raise capital, research a selected game genre, project estimated unit sold and revenues, hire and fire team memebers, take management interventions to improve productivity, take the design challenge, fine tune launch decisions and play the post launch mini game. For a single game building quest (level) challenge. A single quest challenge that can be attempted as many times as the player wants.

The full version of the game has 5 quests, rather than one. 5 different challenges or levels that emphasize a new and specific aspect of the Indie game development and building challenge.

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The Early Access version is a fully playable game. It allows a player to raise capital from investors, research a selected game genre, project estimated unit sold and revenues, hire and fire team memebers, take management interventions to improve team productivity, take the multiple design challenge, fine tune launch decisions and play the post launch mini game. For a single game building quest (level) challenge.

A single quest challenge that can be attempted as many times as the player wants to play the game. There is no restriction or limitation on the number of times a player can play the game.

We have play tested it internally and externally for the last 4 weeks. It is playable, bug free and complete as a self contained challenge. We have gone through 4 weeks of external playtesting outside of steam as of the date of writing these lines. Before the game hits early access, we would have completed another 4 weeks of playtesting on Steam with a broader and wider group of players. ”

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

“The full version of the game would be priced higher than the early access version.

We plan to give all early access participants, access to the first release of the full version of the game when it is released on Steam.”

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

“We have setup a Discord server to invite, receive feedback, commentary, ideas and suggestions and a feature wishlist that players can vote on. In addition to one on one engagement with the core team the designed, built and tested the game. ”
