What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“Receiving feedback from our audience is vital in helping us determine the direction, scope and design goals of Big Ambitions to ensure a quality play experience.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“We estimate at least 24 months depending on the feedback we receive from our players and how that impacts the scope of the game before we release into 1.0.”

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

“All listed features are fully working and in-game, but over the course of Early Access we intend to refine existing systems, continue to balance core gameplay loops and add additional content based on the feedback we receive from players.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“With hundreds of hours of gameplay available, Big Ambitions has a complete gameplay loop. Featuring dozens of shops, apartments, furnishings, cars and buildings to buy, everything listed in the "About This Game" section of our Steam page is working and in game (please refer to this for more details). The scope of the game will continue to improve over the course of Early Access.”

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

“Pricing will probably not change.”

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

“We will collect user feedback via Steam’s forums and our official Discord. This has already played a key role in allowing us to refine Big Ambitions, to improve core gameplay features and to ensure our community is involved.”

About This Game

Your bank balance is tiny, but your ambitions are big.

With a little help from your uncle, you get an apartment and your first job. But then it's up to you to achieve success and take over New York City any way you like.

Slowly build multiple small businesses, grow them into huge corporations, or carve your own unique path – the possibilities are limitless in this vast business sandbox. You've never played anything like this!

Go from a small apartment and public transport to luxury suites, fast cars and designer furniture. Put your money into investment funds and real estate. Succeed, fail, rebuild. But remember to take care of yourself, sleep and stay happy on your rise to the top.

Do you have what it takes to build your own empire?

Go from nothing to the most prominent tycoon in New York. Start a business, work smart, make it thrive and enjoy your life. How do you want to be successful? How far can you push it? How long can you make it last?

Start your own gift shop, supermarket, coffee shop, law firm, clothing store, liquor store, florist, and more. You decide what success is - whether it’s a single shop, a chain of fast-food restaurants, a huge corporation, or making millions developing websites.

Take out a loan, rent a building, design the logo, renovate the store, get stock, manage your money, hire staff, and build your infrastructure. Soon, you may have to start importing products from the harbour and distributing them through a network of warehouses.

A bigger business means managers. Hire HR Managers, Logistics Managers, and Purchasing Agents. They all need desks and computers, so you’ll need a fancy headquarters.

Need a delivery truck? Travel to a dealer and buy one. Need food? Go to a supermarket, but make sure you have a refrigerator at home. Big Ambitions is a life sim where your character has to physically interact with the world to survive and succeed.

Enter any building in New York and buy it. Go from a small apartment to a dream penthouse in midtown, a luxurious townhouse in Hell’s Kitchen, or a series of skyscrapers. Fill each with furniture that suits your style and standing. Invest your hard-earned cash in real estate to grow your empire. Take over the city piece by piece.

Spend your wealth however you wish. Buy a big SUV, a speedy sports car, or the new luxurious Mersaidi S500. Maybe risk it all at the casinos or put your money into investment funds and reap the rewards.

As you progress, you always need to ensure you get enough sleep and stay healthy and happy. Enjoy the journey, for as you grow older, you’ll discover that money can’t buy you time... or can it?
