changed1- First, let’s talk about the price reduction I announced earlier this month. Sadly the reduction needs to be delayed, I contacted the Steam support and they responded:
added“We wouldn't want to change the price of your product right after release. It's pretty important to us that customers have a reasonable expectation when they buy a new game, that the price won't fluctuate right at release. If you still need to adjust the base price of the game, we'd recommend doing so after a month or more has passed since release. Check out our Pricing documentation for pricing best practices. Thanks!” - Steam Support
changedSo, if you want to play GAME.exe for a more reasonable price, i would recommend waiting one more month for the prices to be approved.
changed2 - Second, localization is extremely hard and expensive to be done properly, and I don’t want to deliver something poorly translated. The localization update will be delayed, I don’t have a date yet, but the game will be translated at some point, just not in the time I expected. Another minor update will take place on the 16th of July instead of the localization update.
addedSoon I’ll be announcing a new game, stay tuned on my twitter: @amarogamedev
