Greetings everyone! We start with the price increase:
On this Friday I will increase the game price from 10 to 11.99 USD. I always use Steams regional pricing, so it will vary depending on your region.
I did a poll on my Discord and the vast majority was supportive of this increase, so I hope you are as well! Please let me know how you feel:
Would you have bought the game for roughly 12 bucks?
Do you think it's worth that much at its current state?
When the game leaves (or is close to leaving) Early Access, I plan to raise the price to 15 USD, which most likely will be the final increase.
If I get enough pushback I won't increase the price. (Please don't take this opportunity to exploit me for actually listening to my customers/fans/fellow-swamp-lovers! ;D)
Now the rough roadmap:
Patch 0.8.0.0: This patch is roughly one month away. It will focus on foraging, planting/harvesting and camp/base building. There will be new skills related to this. I plan to add something like buildable huts which will be a new interior, similar to Bhatos hut, canvas/tents which will act as roof outdoors, just to mention a few things. It will also add new unique locations, new npcs, enemies, items, plants/trees, etc.
Patch 0.9.0.0: This will add more stuff to the mainquest and probably a few sidequests/activities. I like the mainquest as it is, but it needs some wrapping up, maybe one character you want to meet again hint-hint, and a little more closure. It will also add more content in general. This will probably be released late September/early October. (I will also get some translations done around here)
Patch 1.0.0.0: This will mainly be polish/balance and listenting to what the players want/need at this stage. Either right before this patch, or a little after, the price will increase to 15 USD, and the game will leave EA. Now we are most likely in October.
Patch > 1.0? This remains to be seen! Is the game a hit at this point? Has it been completely forgotten and doesn't sell at all? Are you guys happy with the game? Content? Demand more with pitchforks outside my house? Time will tell....
That is it for now! I really want your thoughts and feedback! As always: A billion thanks for your support, it means the world to me! Remember to leave a review and spread the word!
Best wishes and lots of love! <3
