changedA game where you focus on creating a beautiful seaside shopping and entertainment destination. You do this by building shops and scaling up to larger buildings that hold more visitors and earn more money.
changedA typical play through from start to unlocking and building all buildings will take about 4-6 hours.
addedBoardwalk Builders lets you combine shops to create bigger ones. Each new shop has it's own unique recipe which has to be learned during game play.
changedEach building has it's own stats. You can control product price, which dictates how expensive the products are that each shop sells, but it also slows down how fast the shop handles customers. You can also adjust capacity which lowers the cost of running the shop, but makes it so the shop can't serve as many people at a time. You can also purchase upgrades for the shop. These elements make management a constant task throughout the game as you balance income vs. expenses and try to continue growing.
changedYou also have to pay attention to the condition of your buildings. As time goes on, they need to be repaired. You can hire maintenance workers to come and fix your buildings, which also costs money.
changedFestivals give certain bonuses to your boardwalk, such as increased income or fame points. VIPs come and increase your visit rate by a lot while they are on the boardwalk, meaning more customers, but they also unlock special elite buildings if they like what the see. The ultimate goal of the building is to have invited all the VIPs and built all of their buildings.

Is there an end game?
Yes. Although you build, combine and manage throughout the whole game, once you reach a certain point you can activate festivals and invite VIPs.
Festivals give certain bonuses to your boardwalk, such as increased income or fame points. VIPs come and increase your visit rate by a lot while they are on the boardwalk, meaning more customers, but they also unlock special elite buildings if they like what the see. The ultimate goal of the building is to have invited all the VIPs and built all of their buildings.
I hope you guys enjoy the game when it's released! I'll have a feedback thread open on the forums, and you can always email me at joel@studioprimitive.net with feedback and comments.
