Hello shoppers!
it's already been a month since we launched our major free expansion "People or Profit?" on Steam, and we've so enjoyed seeing your reactions as you dive back into the game and discover the new chapter and features! Most of us are taking some much-needed vacation time this month and next, but we've still got a bunch of cool news coming, so let's hop right in!
As you might have heard recently, Discounty is coming to mobile this summer! Our co-founders were recently interviewed by the lovely folks at Pocket Tactics about the "People or Profit?" expansion, as well as how Discounty came together, while sharing many of the inspirations for the game. Check out the interview here, divided into two articles:
➡️ "We heard the feedback loud and clear" say Discounty devs on the People or Profit expansion
➡️ "I couldn't write a normal game" - how quirky shopkeeper game Discounty took over the indie market
We've teamed up with our friends at Final Profit: A Shop RPG to put together a new Steam bundle. Explore the depths of capitalism in this pair of cozy simulator indie gems! If you enjoyed Discounty and its style of satirical humor, you'll definitely love Final Profit -- and you can get it in this bundle for an extra 10% off:
And some small behind-the-scenes news: we've been slowly working on beautifying our Steam store page to meet Steam's new standards! Previously, developers could only add very small GIFs to their store pages, but Steam recently made an awesome update that increased the width of these pages and allowed us to add actual video files. Since the game has come a long way since we first published the page, we took the opportunity to spruce up the page with all new videos and updated graphics! Take a look at the shiny new page, and don't forget to leave a review if you haven't yet! ;)
On a final note, we wanted to answer something a lot of you have been asking: will there be another Discounty update?
The truth is: we're not planning any more major updates at the moment (though we'd still love to add some small bits of content in the future if possible!). The main reason is that we're currently very excited about getting started on a totally new project. 👀 There won't be anything to share about that for a long time, but we're very hyped about the idea and what we've made so far... and we think you will be too. :)
That's it for this month! This article was a much-condensed version of our email newsletter, which also contained a lot of news about our upcoming mobile version, a status update on the console versions, and a roundup of our favorite games in the last couple months!
