After 10 years of success, and with more than 30.000 fireworks shows designed, Fwsim reaches Steam Early Access. So the community’s feedback will be essential not just for fine-tuning, but for guiding the whole development and design process.”Ībout This Game FWsim is one of the best 3D simulation tools of the fireworks industry, used and acclaimed by professionals and fireworks enthusiasts all over the world. We are especially interested in what we need to improve to make it easy to get started - even without any previous experience in fireworks. We will listen to all of your feedback, and features are prioritized according to that. Now we would like to get feedback from a wider audience of gamers. FWsim already has a strong userbase among fireworks enthusiasts and professionals. “Getting feedback from the Steam community is the most important aspect of the Early Access period. How are you planning on involving the Community in your development process? “The price of FWsim will increase on full release.” Will the game be priced differently during and after Early Access? My plan is to build upon what it already has the first changes will be incremental, and major “revolutions” will come further down the road.” “As it is right now, FWsim is ready to use and fully functional. What is the current state of the Early Access version? That being said, I have big plans for the full version: New graphics, better user interface to make it more intuitive, more and better 3D environments… The sky is the limit though – the community’s feedback will be essential to guide my priorities and shape the development of the full version!” “ FWsim is already usable from top to bottom, and it’s a complete fireworks simulation experience. How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version? And of course, full release will be only another step in a long journey – I expect I’ll continue working on FWsim and release more updates for years, just like I’ve been doing since 2010.” However, that could change - there might be great ideas from the community that take quite a bit longer to implement. “The plan is to be in Early Access for roughly one year – until Q4 2020 or maybe Q1 2021. We want to make it a powerful, deep and realistic experience, while still being intuitive, easy-to-master and fun.”Īpproximately how long will this game be in Early Access? It allows us to get feedback in real-time and shape the next iteration of FWsim. Steam Early Access is just the right place for that.

That made me realize FWsim could grow and evolve to appeal to a wider audience and not just firework experts. “FWsim started as a tool aimed at professionals and fireworks enthusiasts, but over the course of the years, more and more people got hooked to it and its creative possibilities.
