Why Early Access?

“During the Early Access stage, we hope that players can become an integral part of the development process and offer your valuable feedback on the game. We will try our best to enrich and improve the game accordingly and ensure you a hilarious retirement experience. Also, as a relatively small team, we do have limited development capacity throughout the development process of this game which has substantial content. Therefore, we would like to launch the Early Access version first and better optimize Retirement Simulator with your help and support.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“We plan to gradually introduce major updates to Retirement Simulator with new wish routes, new gameplay, and the choice of playing as a female protagonist over at least 12 months or so in the future. Since there is still room for optimization in the game, we will still update the game after the initial 12 months, with the priority of improving the player's experience.”

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

“The 1.0 version of Retirement Simulator will have a complete wish route, new gameplay and characters. Our current update plans include:

• Add new wish routes such as "the Billionaire".
  
• Allow the choice of a female protagonist at the beginning of the game so that players can experience retirement life from a female perspective.
  
• Add more NPCs and their corresponding background stories.
  
• Add more story events, card battles and other challenges.
  
• Add a variety of activities, jobs, features, etc. to improve the depth of the gameplay.
  
• Optimize music, sound effects, etc. to provide a better audio-visual experience.

Please pay attention to our follow-up announcements for the update schedule.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The early access version of "Retirement Simulator" provides a relatively complete simulation game experience, and it is estimated that it will take 8-10 hours for a full run. However, due to the multi-route gameplay, the game has good replayability, and it is difficult to fully experience all the content of the game in a single run. Therefore, it is recommended to try multiple routes to get a full experience.”

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

“Since the pricing of the current version is relevantly low, we hope to invite everyone to join us to make Retirement Simulator a better experience in this way. We may increase the price of the game after Early Access ends and the game content is fully developed.”

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

“The dev team will continue to check out everyone's discussions and reviews in the Steam community. We will release information such as updates and changes in a timely manner, and will make sure to read every suggestion, hoping to accelerate the growth of "Retirement Simulator" with you all.”
