Why Early Access?

“We want to shape Shine Carpets Together with the people who play it. The core cleaning loop and online co-op are fun today, and player feedback will help us tune the feel of every tool, the job pacing and the shop economy before the full release.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“We plan to stay in Early Access for roughly 6 months. This is our best estimate and may shift a little based on player feedback.”

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

“We plan to add:
- More rugs and jobs: new rug families such as runners, hallway rugs and large antique carpets, with new dirt types to clean.
- A growing workshop: shop and workshop upgrades and decorations bought with the crew's earnings.
- A longer career: more customers with their own requests, plus new tool upgrades.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The full cleaning loop is playable solo or in online co-op for up to 4 players: 6 jobs across kilims, doormats and shag rugs, 9 tools, the shop with orders, delivery ratings and a tool store, and in-game voice chat. Balance, polish and sounds are still being improved.”

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

“We plan to gradually raise the price as we add new content and features during Early Access. The full release price will be higher than the Early Access price.”

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

“We read every review and discussion post and use them to decide what to tune and build next. We will share regular updates with patch notes, and players can vote on and suggest new rugs, tools and features in the Steam discussions.”
