đ SUGGESTION AND FEEDBACK
đ DISCORD
Without wasting time, a few words about Early Access:
Why Early Access?
I am a solo developer and the community will be able to try new versions and provide critical feedback to develop Horror Tycoon into the best game I can. I also have the publisher Gameparic helping me with all the rest of the stuff so that I can fully focus on creating the game.Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?
The game will remain in early access until all features are complete and the game is stable and fun to play. The anticipated full release is Q3/Q4 2023.How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version?
- With the full version of the game, I plan to include the following:
- 20+ Locations (with more added as player feedback is received)
- Over 50+ Scare attractions
- Over 50+ FX (Lighting, Special Effects etc)
- Over 200+ Building pieces (Walls, flooring, fencing, windows, etc)
- Over 200+ Props (Paintings, sculptures, rugs, spooky decorations, etc)
- 50+ Hallway / Room pre-designs for easy implementation
- 10+ Themes (Manor, Graveyard, Hospital/Morgue, Crime Scene, Laboratory, Aliens, Blood/Gore, Bathroom/Shower, DIY, Witches, Creatures and more planned)
- Multiple Save Slots
- Steam Achievements
- Full length soundtrack
- 10 Language Localization
What is the current state of the Early Access version?
- The current state of the early access includes the following:
- 2 Locations (Backyard Haunt & The Forest)
- 16 Scare Attractions
- 9 FX
- 45 Building Pieces
- 34 Props
- 3 Save Slot
- English Audio/Subtitles Only.
Will the game be priced differently during and after Early Access?
Early Access will be given a discount as a thank you for playing and for providing feedback to help shape the direction of Horror Tycoon's development.How are you planning on involving the Community in your development process?
The community is the main reason for making this game and placing it in early access. With the community providing crucial feedback and suggestions will only help to enhance the game and its development moving forward.We hope that we have explained all the most important assumptions to you, please remember to share your opinion so that we will know what you expect in the full version of the game.

DATE REVEAL! đĨ
Dear Players,
After several months of hard work, I can finally announce the launch day of Horror Tycoon in early access! đģ
The game will be available to play on
OCTOBER 10th, 2022, at 8 am PDT! đĨ
I've been working on creating this video game for over a year... but in some weird way, I've been working on this game since I was a kid building haunted houses in my backyard out of refrigerator boxes I'd take from the appliance store dumpster.
I always wanted to make video games but never had the logical brain to understand code, I just saw numbers and weird punctuation marks and it just looked like nonsense to me. I have always been a visual/audio learner. So I never pursued learning how to code and instead worked on music for the past 25 years.
Growing up I was playing video games like rollercoaster tycoon, sim city, the Sims, cities skylines and then a game came out called Planet Coaster.... Never in a million years would I have imagined that a single video game would have changed my life, and the people on that team changed my life. I became the official U.S. brand ambassador for that game and traveled to a bunch of game conventions where I met some of my game development idols and became inspired all over again and this time I was determined to figure out how to make a video game of my own. Even if it was just for my own entertainment.
About 7 years ago, I started trying every game engine out there but finally I tried the Unreal Engine from Epic Games. I had heard about an interesting way a user could use that engineer to make games. It's called visual scripting/visual programming and things just clicked. It all made sense, well not everything but things were finally starting to make sense. I started teaching myself everything I could with YouTube tutorials, Reddit threads, forums, and discord servers. I never went to college and barely graduated high school... I'm self taught with everything I've ever done.
Fast forward 5 years and I released my first video game for Android devices determined to make this a career...
And now...I'm about to release my passion project Horror Tycoon as a solo/independent video game developer and small business owner.
Horror Tycoon is coming out on Steam early access on October 20th!
It's not done, but will be a sort of "living project"/work in progress and evolving based on player feedback from the amazing community that's growing every single day.
I'm excited, I'm scared, I'm nervous but most importantly I am proud I took the risk, took a chance and put it all on the line. Thanks to everyone who has been with me from the very beginning until now. đ¤

Back to work,
See you soon!
