Why Early Access?

“This is a co-op game about panic, and panic is not something you can balance alone in a room. The pressure curve - how fast rent climbs, how many orders one pot can take, how a street built for two players holds up with six - only becomes real when actual groups play it. We would rather tune those numbers with players than guess at them and ship a game that is too easy for four friends and impossible for one.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“Six to nine months. If the balance work needs longer, we will say so in an update post rather than quietly moving the date.”

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

“More streets and recipes, more placeable objects to change how a street plays, and a difficulty curve tuned with real data for three to six players instead of two. In-game language support will grow beyond English and Turkish. The core - one pot, shared orders, the gravity gun, rent - will not change; it will be balanced.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“A playable co-op game, not a demo: catch falling ingredients with the gravity gun, fill one shared pot against two live orders, survive the day, pay rent, and see how many days you last. Online co-op for one to six players, with solo available as a separate mode. What is not finished is the balance: the rent curve and the difficulty scaling for larger groups are the reason this is in Early Access. Expect rough edges in the art and the interface.”

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

“The price will go up modestly when the game leaves Early Access. Buying it now costs less and includes the full version.”

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

“Through the Steam discussion boards and reviews, which we read and answer. The numbers we need are the ones you generate: how many days you survive, where the difficulty spikes, what made your group laugh and what made them quit. Every update post will say what changed and why, including the balance numbers.”
