Why can I still buy Maze Crusher? / End of Development Update

As you might have seen in the last announcement's discussion, some confusion has spread upon the announcement, which we want to clear up here:

In our last announcement we told, that we are going to disable sales upon further notice because we needed to stop development and it was not clear if, how and when development would continue.

By creating the said announcement, we made the first step in a defined process of steam. We then opened a ticket with steam, asking to suspend sales until we decide how to proceed (which is expected to be at least half a year, most likely much longer).

While the future of Maze Cursher is still unclear, steam replied, that they will not disable sales for the given reason and asked us to add a note to the shop page and keep you updated instead.

So this is not our idea to change out minds from one day to the other, but it is a decision which has been made based on steam's standards and best practices.

So how will this proceed? Sales will not be disabled. We already adjusted the price of Maze crusher down a lot. So if anyone would like to have a look into the game, the new price now is an acceptable price point for the current state of the game. This price will not be raised (might still undergo currency fluctuations) until we do a final decision and at least another game update. This is our promise.

This might now sound like a finaly try to make some money but this is not what this decision is made for. With this statement we want to communicate clearly, that the game might probably not receive any further updates (worst case) or might receive major changes in the future (including a complete redesign).

At the current point, the project is frozen and it's future is unclear. If you're interested, leave a wishlist but do only buy if you're actually willing to buy a long-term mystery box.

Sorry for the confusion. We will keep you updated as soon as further decisions are made or demand rises.
