[p]Q1: Is The Boss Gangsters: Nightlife a tycoon game or an open-world game?
➡️ It’s both! You’ll run a detailed nightclub business (with advice from real club owners) and freely explore the open world at the press of a button ,no loading screens.[/p][p]Q2: Will all of these features be in the full game, or just Early Access?
➡️ Everything listed will be available in Early Access (launching in about a month). But don’t worry—many more features are planned for full release… including heists 👀[/p][p]Q3: Q3: How does the police system work? Is it like GTA?
➡️ Not exactly. Instead of endless shootouts, we built a bribery & corruption system. You can commit crimes freely as long as you pay the cops. Fail to do so, and you might see your club shut down or a family member sent to jail.[/p][p]Q4: Why do we drive cars directly, but control characters with the mouse?
➡️ Driving feels essential to the open-world experience (with damage, crashes, and planned car missions).
But managing multiple family members works best with mouse controls—it lets you direct your crew efficiently instead of struggling with complex character controls. In short: three gameplay styles in one game , club management, open world driving, and tactical character control.[/p][p]Q5: Will there be rival club owners?
➡️ Yes! At launch, one rival club will challenge you. Later updates will bring multiple club types (Pubs, Dance Clubs, Strip Clubs), each with its own rival family.[/p][p]Q6: What can we do with our mafia family?
➡️ Recruit capos & gangsters, attack rival businesses, and run illegal operations. Example: bribe the city hall to get hot dog stands, then secretly sell contraband through them. Your crew can protect your club, raid enemy turf, and evolve with RPG-like progression.[/p][p]Q7: Why did you choose this polygon art style?
➡️ Several reasons:[/p]

1. [p]Optimization making a tycoon + open world game in realistic graphics is nearly impossible for a small team.[/p]
2. [p]It’s unique & stylish 😎[/p]
3. [p]We’re an indie studio, and this lets us focus on gameplay depth over chasing ultra-realism.[/p]

[p]We wanted to highlight some of the most common questions, but there’s so much more waiting inside The Boss Gangsters: Nightlife.
