Why Early Access?

We are a small indie studio that self-publishes this game, but we want to deliver the most finished and polished product to our players. Food Truck Empire should be designed by us and the players to the same degree - cooperation is one of our core values when developing this game. We don’t want to keep this game hidden from the public for even longer and work in the shadows. We would rather give the players a chance to get their hands on the best possible version of the game early and share their honest feedback with us so we can improve upon the game more actively.

Will there be full customization of food trucks?

Not in the initial Early Access release, but later down the line for sure! You will be able to change everything : the colours, the neons, the front, tires - even the big food replica on top of the truck. Each truck will be customizable to your heart's content.

How long will the game be in the Early Access phase?

Once we have clarified any kind of Roadmap for Food Truck Empire, we will be sharing it publicly. For now, we believe the game shouldn’t be rushed for full release. Balance is what we are striving for, so we don’t want to publish either an undercooked or an overcooked product. The timing heavily depends on both the community feedback and our development team’s capacity.

What will be different between the Early Access version and the full game?

Our scope for this project is very flexible to accommodate the community reception and feedback of Food Truck Empire. What our ideas of how the final game will look like may not align with how our player base sees it and we wouldn’t want them to feel overlooked in this matter.
When it comes to possible upcoming features, we will be for sure adding the teased in-depth Customization system for the food trucks. We want players to express themselves in the game not only through the interior of the trucks but also the exterior.
If you have any suggestions when it comes to the future of Food Truck Empire, please let us know on Discord - we would love to hear them!

What is the current state of the game?

Currently, the game is fully functional and playable, meaning the basic gameplay loop and progression systems are mostly finished. Graphical assets are also mostly final but are subject to slight changes due to optimization and player feedback. Of course, not all features and systems are implemented yet, but we will be adding them gradually throughout the Early Access period. We would love also to add new levels, but only time will tell.

How will you involve community during the Early Access phase?

Our community should be useful not only for us in our development process but also for our player base to have a place for open conversation. We are focusing on making everyone’s opinion and feedback heard while also ensuring their concerns are properly addressed either in-game or in our Social Media communication. We want to foster a healthy relationship with our players on such platforms as forums or Discord. See you there!
