Why Early Access?

“An idle game is a pacing problem: how fast the numbers grow, when the next mechanic opens up, whether a restructure feels like a reward or a punishment. We run an automated economy simulation on every change, but a simulation plays perfectly and nobody else does. Early Access lets us tune the curve against how people actually play - including the ones who leave it running overnight and the ones who play in five minute bursts.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“Roughly 6 to 12 months is our expectation. If community feedback points at something worth building properly, we would rather extend than ship to a date.”

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

“We plan to keep widening the valley: more factories and districts, more to build inside each one, more dropper and upgrader varieties, and further mechanics that open up as you progress and restructure. We also plan to keep working on quality-of-life and on the language support.

Which of those arrive, and in what order, will depend on how the economy holds up and on what players ask for, so we would rather set out the direction than promise a list.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The core game is fully playable: walk your factory floors, place and upgrade droppers, conveyors and upgraders, buy from the company shop, dig out a basement works, take contracts, and restructure to grow faster. There are milestones to chase, a standings ladder, a museum of what you have done, gamepad support and an interface in eight languages.

Balance is checked by an automated simulation on every update, but it is still being tuned, and the amount of content is smaller than we want it to be. Buy it for the loop as it is today.”

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

“We plan to raise the price gradually as we add content and features. Buying during Early Access means paying the lower price for everything that comes later - the game is never sold twice.”

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

“The quickest route to us is inside the game itself: the MORE menu has "Report a bug" and "Suggest a feature", and both go straight to our studio queue rather than an inbox nobody reads. We read every one.

We also watch the Steam Community Hub discussions for this game, and we post patch notes for every update in a consistent format - one line per change, with the actual numbers when something is rebalanced - so you can see whether the thing you raised moved.

For this game, pacing feedback is the most useful thing you can send: where the game started to drag, which upgrade you never bothered with, whether a restructure felt worth it. Those go straight into the balance numbers, and when we change one we say by how much in the patch notes.

What we cannot promise is that every suggestion becomes a feature; we are a very small studio and some ideas will not fit the game. What we can say is that reports and suggestions genuinely set the order we work in, and that the things players tell us are confusing or annoying tend to get fixed first.”
