Hey everyone!
We have some big news we want to share with you.
First of all, the Steam version of Tanzia is coming along fine, we're finishing the ending area, working on some localizations and polishing the whole game so it looks awesome at launch.
Also, some news we're really excited about: Tanzia is also coming to the Nintendo Switch!
A very early mockup of what touch controls could look like on the Switch.
That also sadly means that the Steam version of Tanzia needs to be pushed back a little bit : (
We've been given the opportunity to launch on the Switch in the coming months, and to be able to make it, we need to focus 100% on that build. Since we're developing the game using Unity3D, improvements to the Switch version will also be reflected on the Steam build. So you'll see gamepad control improvements, faster loading and smoother scene transitions, higher frame rates, and more!
Pricing & Comic Books.
At first we planned on having a regular $15 edition of Tanzia, and then a $20 Special Edition with comic books and additional content, but we decided to include that comic book in-game as an unlockable (remember those bottles at the beach? Yeah, those will unlock the comic book in the future) and have a regular and beefier normal edition at $20.
So Tanzia for Steam and NIntendo Switch will be $20 at launch. However, as a thank you to the people supporting us right now, we're keeping the $15 price during Early Access!
So if you're on the fence about buying the game now or after the full launch, get it now and save $5. You can also tell your hipster friends you were into Tanzia before it was even launched, and that's priceless!
So here's today's news in bullet point form:
- Tanzia is premiering on the Nintendo Switch!
- The Switch version will make the PC version even better.
- The PC version will need to be pushed back a little bit because of that : (
- We're adding an awesome looking comic book as an in-game unlockable : )
- The price is going from $15 to $20 at release. There's still time to get it at the discounted price during Early Access
- Did I mention the comic book was drawn by our awesome artist Saige, who also did all the in-game visions and intro?
- Also, bullet points are my favorite way of listing information.
Thank you everyone for being so patient and understanding!
