Business Simulator Reaches Its Biggest Milestone Yet: Production Access Application Submitted
The required closed-testing phase is complete. HABJAN GAMES has now submitted the production access application for Business Simulator on Google Play, putting our first game in front of its next major decision point.
From testing to the production-access review
Only a few days ago, Business Simulator was still in the final stretch of closed testing. That stage has now reached the point required for us to take the next step: the production access application has been submitted to Google Play. The application is currently awaiting Google’s review. Production access has not been approved yet, and we are deliberately keeping that distinction clear.
Why this step matters to us
Business Simulator is the first HABJAN GAMES title to make the full journey from an early concept to a real Android build, repeated internal testing, Google Play closed testing and now a production-access application. For a small independent studio, that progression matters. It turns months of design decisions, bug fixes, balancing work and interface changes into a concrete milestone with a clear next gate.
Closed testing changed the game
The test period was not simply something to wait through. It exposed edge cases in the economy, highlighted usability issues and forced us to look at how systems behave together over longer sessions. Orders, steel, machines, workers, loans, time acceleration, the Company Agent, rewards and progression all had to coexist without creating broken states. Feedback from testers also helped shape practical UI improvements, especially around preparing jobs and understanding what a company still needs before production can begin.
What happens while we wait?
Development does not stop because an application has been submitted. While Google reviews the production-access request, we will continue checking the current build, documenting anything that still deserves attention and preparing the store and release material for the possibility of approval. We will not announce a public release date until the production path is confirmed and we are satisfied with the release candidate.
If production access is approved
Approval would not mean pressing one button and considering the project finished. It would start the final release-preparation stage: verifying the production build, checking the Google Play listing, reviewing screenshots and descriptions, confirming monetization and save behavior, and making sure the first public version represents the game as well as possible. Only then would we move toward making Business Simulator available to a wider audience.
A milestone, not the finish line
We are proud to have reached this point, but we also know what it is: another gate in the development process. The decision now belongs to Google Play. Until we receive it, our status is simple and transparent — closed testing has reached its required milestone, the production access application is submitted, and we are waiting for review.
For HABJAN GAMES, however, this is still a special moment. Our first game has never been closer to the possibility of a public release.
