Early Access Review
With about 550 hours in the original steam "Playtest", another couple hundred hours during the betas on Humble Bundle, and then over 300 hours on this version...I can safely say I enjoy this game!!!

You start with nothing and have to build your way up. At first you're doing everything - buying inventory, stocking shelves and mopping floors between your shifts at the cash register. But over time, you hire employees and a cleaning staff and start automating imports to all your businesses through your network of warehouses and delivery trucks! After a few "decades" you have this huge empire of businesses as you relax on your yacht.

There are still some things that aren't perfect, and the late-game still needs development but for a game that is just now entering Early Access - it's extremely solid already with lots of depth. Having been playing this since the early Alphas, I'm still very excited to see where it continues to go!

It sounds like an amazing journey from humble beginnings to building a business empire! Excited to see how the game evolves in Early Access!

@maybe ricket I wasn't working for the company until after this. I've been a fan of them since their previous game, Startup Company, and began helping with community management and then project management and eventually became a full member of the team after the early access version of Big Ambitions came out!

why is a developer allowed to recommend their own game under their own page to sell it? ur basically fluffing the reviews.

Houge not really. A slightly better option is to steal a bigger handtruck from the Ika Bohag. You can't store it in your vehicle (but you should be able to take it in a taxi), and you have to keep a box on it if you leave the room, or it will despawn.

But there is no moving service or anything right now.

Is a faster way to transfer the furniture into the building instead of move four at a time?

@gliu03 You logistics Manager should send the drivers out at midnight to deliver whatever items you have set. But they will only deliver if the "target" is higher than your current supply. So, if you target 200, but already have 200, they won't deliver any.

Also, they won't deliver if your storage shelves are already full.

Why doesn’t my drive deliver goods to my shops?

"gotta remove my beta save tho because i have no idea what i was doing before lmao!"

Haha yeah, if you played more than a release or two ago, the game has changed enough that I would recommend starting a new one!! And welcome back!

"The secret is to not sleep in when you could be playing games." Not sleeping is truly the best way to get things done!! :D
