Why Early Access?

“We want to involve players in the creation process as early as possible. Early Access allows us to gather valuable feedback, conduct surveys to determine if systems are fun, and refine or remove features based on player input. Your voice will help shape the game into the best version of itself.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“We estimate Vending Dokan! will be in Early Access for approximately a year. However, this timeline may change as we respond to player feedback and refine the game. We’ll keep players informed of any updates to the schedule.”

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

“The full version of Vending Dokan! is planned to include expanded content and enhanced mechanics. We aim to introduce additional locations and maps, such as a suburban area with a unique ambiance, song list, and aesthetic distinct from the current map. We’re also exploring the possibility of adding a wide variety of decorative items with diverse themes, more vending opportunities, machines, and items.

We plan to incorporate community and social features, as well as streamer-specific tools, to make the game more interactive and shareable. Improvements and potential additions to core mechanics are also planned, and we will rely on player feedback throughout Early Access to help guide these developments.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The Early Access version of Vending Dokan! is a fully playable experience with the core gameplay systems in place. Players can manage vending machines, hire staff, decorate locations, and grow their business. The game also supports background play, relaxing music, and a functional economy system.

While the foundation is solid, we’re still refining existing mechanics, balancing gameplay, and exploring new features. Some content, like additional maps, decorations, and advanced systems, is planned for future updates during Early Access.”

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

“We currently have no plans to change the game’s price on full release.”

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

“We already have a vibrant Discord community where players actively share feedback and ideas, and we’ve been involving alpha testers in the development process even before Early Access. During Early Access, we plan to engage players further through regular surveys, discussions, and updates, directly incorporating their input to shape the game’s future.”
