HI!
This year Hammerfight turned 10 years. It was very fun and positive time for us and the game. Many players tried our game on Steam and many more knew it through very successful bundles, like Humble Indie Bundle and numerous others.
But nothing lasts forever. Main developer, Konstantin Koshutin (http://koshutin.com/) is deep into his new game, High Fleet, and simply can't provide needed support and fixing for the game to keep it up to modern standards. Please understand it and maybe check out his site about upcoming game?
Anyway, we decided to make Hammefight completely free. We hope you will accept and support our decision and enjoy even more out of Hammerfight!
Exact date of turning Hammerfight into completely free game is up to Steam. We hope it will be made free in 1 week from now.
Thank you all for years of support and good luck! Feel free to write us anything you think, good or bad, about this decision and whats coming next.
