Why Early Access?

“Terminal Fade is a big game for a solo developer: a barbershop sim, a crime game and a city of five rival families in one. Early Access lets players get into the core loop now and shape what comes next. The way crews play together in co-op will guide which missions, families and features get built first.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“A few months, a year at most, until all five crime families and their missions are in the game.”

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

“The barbershop side is complete. Early Access is about the night: I plan to add the remaining crime families, each with their own missions and a way to bring them down by trust or by force, plus contract killings, kidnappings, casino games, the Kinfolks boxing ring and the full story.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The barbershop is complete: cut, style, wash and color hair, run the till, keep the shop clean, hire staff and upgrade the shop. The night loop is playable solo or in co-op with crew management, night operations and police chases, but not every crime family and story chapter is in yet.”

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

“The price may increase as major content is added. Anyone who buys during Early Access keeps the game and gets every update at no extra cost.”

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

“Through the Steam forums and the game's Discord, where players can report bugs, suggest features and vote on priorities. I plan to share regular dev updates and roadmap changes, and to run community playtests before major updates.”
