changedAfter a lot of back and forth I've had to make the difficult choice to reduce the full price of Gym Empire. I say difficult because I truly value you all as Early Access supporters and feel it is unfair that you have paid more by supporting early. This was never the plan and I will make sure to do even more research in future around game cost.
addedLong story short I based my pricing around other similar games in the genre, whereas I now understand that Gym Empire crosses between the Tycoon and Idle genre, so I believe the new pricing reflects that.
changedBut I don't want you amazing supporters to be left high and dry so I want to reward you all with a free copy of GLO my first indie game and also ensure you gain exclusive free access to the early development builds of my next game Tube2K.
