Shinobi Bad Buddies will become free !

Hello everyone, hope your doing good!
We have some news to share with you. As the title said, Shinobi Bad Buddies will become free to acquire on steam in the coming days ːsteamhappyː

There are reasons behind this move and the first one is that we couldn't properly market the game and that it was our very first big project.
We do not come from the AAA sector, we are just gamers that love indie games.
Unfortunately with all of what we have tried to advertise, market, communicate, we failed to actually manage to do it efficiently and this resulted in the non-existent community around Shinobi Bad Buddies.

We did a lot of mistakes regarding that and we acknowledge totally.
This is our fault and we don't want to let the game fall into limbo by keeping it paid if it will not be noticed.
So we thought very hard about it, and it was not a easy decision after 17 months of hardwork and supported by nobody except ourselves, to accept the fact that the strategy needed to be reworked.

That is why we came to the conclusion that giving it for free and let it be accessible for whoever wants to play it, was the best solution for us.
After all, what we want is to make games accessible for all.

For the people who already bought the game, we want to thank you kindly and heartly, it means a lot to us and we hope you were not disapointed by it.
Of course, this doesn't mean we are not going to make another big project, but for the time being we will focus on smaller projects that will be free and communicate with you as much as we can.

All in all we regret nothing and we had a blast making this game and bringing it to you! :)

We really hope you will give it a try, enjoy it and share with us some feedbacks and improvements for any future enhancement if that ever comes to the table.
For the time being we will focus on smaller projects so you can always follow these here on Gamejolt itchio

Thank you !
