'Good Company' Steam Early Access Date Set, Pre-Order Incentive - Screens & Trailer

by Rainier on March 10, 2020 @ 1:33 p.m. PDT

Good Company is a single-player and multiplayer management simulation game about building, automating, and optimizing your machine and robot manufacturing corporation, set in a colorful, 80s-inspired world.

Business + economics + sales + marketing + profit + business again = SUCCESS! An equation anyone can stick to and a sure-fire way to turn your fledgling venture into a thriving empire. Good Company lets you build your own company from the ground up, starting out in your garage and making critical business decisions that will impact design, research, logistics, production and, ultimately, profit.

Start your Good Company literally with your own hands. Build your first products to turn a profit and invest in growing your workforce. Hire employees and scale your business! Only a firm foundation will pave your road to success.

With great wealth comes great responsibility. Organize and automate your workflow, allowing you the freedom to dream even bigger. Design increasingly complex products to please the markets and take your enterprise to the next level. Remember to keep your employees in mind, though. Happy workers make better products, but then again, robots never sleep...


Good Company will hit Steam Early Access on March 31, 2020.

"With Good Company we want to make players forget that our game is a management simulation. We want them to be managers, intensely challenged and rewarded by every action they take while hands-on building a unique corporation," said Dominik Schneider, co-founder of Chasing Carrots.

Preorders are currently available at a 10% discount that also yields Good Company CEOs three cosmetic bonus items to help them pave the pathway to success in a bit more style.

“Our estimated time until the final release is somewhere between 8 and 14 months from the initial Early Access launch. It strongly depends on the expectations and the support of the community, however. It’s also a matter of when we feel that additional features won’t lead to major improvements in the core game experience any more.”

“There are a number of bigger features that we want to add during the Early Access period. We have plans to increase the amount of content in the game continuously by adding new product types, new facility mechanics, and expanding the technology tree. The most important features we will add, however, are a cooperative multiplayer mode and modding support. Of course, along the way we want to refine and balance our simulation and polish already existing mechanics.”

“The core loop of the game is already in place. That is acquiring base materials, crafting and assembling products, and selling products on a market. You can already do some basic facility building and expand your company by hiring new employees. You can design your own robots and adjust their features to increase your sales in the market. There’s also a research system which lets you unlock new technologies and extend your capabilities in production and logistics.”

Key Features:

  • Singleplayer Campaign Mode
  • Bonus challenge missions
  • Singleplayer Freeplay Mode
  • Hire employees and assign various tasks to them
  • Automate production lines using the powerful ‘Logistics’ system
  • Invent increasingly complex tech products, optimising desirable features and minimizing flaws
  • Research new technologies
  • Sell your products on an evolving market
  • Expand your company

Good Company is coming to Steam Early Access later this year.
