早期アクセスにした理由

“We want to turn Chef into a great game, therefore we’ve decided to release it in Early Access to have the opportunity of developing the game while being in close contact with the community, listening to feedbacks and integrating the best ideas in our development schedule.
The foundation we’ve laid down is solid and possible to expand in several different ways. Having Chef in Early Access reflects our intention of working on it for the next years, improving its basis and providing new content for all the tycoon and cooking enthusiasts out there!”

“We plan to release the final version 12 months after the initial Early Access release, depending on the feedback and support we receive.”

早期アクセスバージョンと計画されているフルバージョンの違いは？

“While the Early Access release is already featuring strong and complex management gameplay, we want to further commit to the cause of delivering a memorable tycoon game. A game like Chef can be expanded in many ways and our main goal is to deliver the ultimate restaurant tycoon experience. In the next months we’ll not only provide constant minor updates, but also enrich the game with several major features: skill-trees for the entire staff, the possibility of owning more restaurants at once, special cooking challenges with various competitors, extended management options like the possibility of having fixed price menus or advanced marketing options.
But we won't be adding new gameplay mechanics only: we’ll be also providing new content, including character customization, tools, decorations, exteriors, recipes, ingredients and narrative events.”

早期アクセスバージョンの現状はどうなっていますか？

“All the core mechanics listed in the game's description are in place and fully functioning. Chef already provides a deep and satisfying tycoon experience lasting for several hours. During the Early Access phase we will improve the existing content according to the feedback of our community and release new secondary gameplay mechanics that extend the scope of the game and allow the players to create their own unique paths to success.”

早期アクセス期間中と期間後ではゲームの価格は変わりますか？

“The game will have a lower price while in Early Access, which we’ll raise once the final release is ready. We think that our Early Access supporters deserve a discounted price for the game, since without their help the final release that Chef truly deserves wouldn't be possible to make.”

どうやって開発プロセスにコミュニティを参加させる予定ですか？

“Our lead designer is personally following all discussions on the Steam forum, and as soon as the game enters Early Access we’ll open a Discord server which will facilitate faster and more direct communication with the development team.”
