changedWhat about those who paid for the game?...also unfortunately, I cannot provide any kind of reward for those who paid for the game, because my computer broke and everything was wiped from it months ago, including the file for "The Adventures of Alvis". So, I can't edit the game file to include something special for those who paid, and this also means no updates ever. ːsteamfacepalmː Because of my inability to help, I requested that Steam refund the users who purchased this, but they informed me they are unable to do this as it violates their usual policy (or something like that; I trust them, but it's also upsetting). My genuine, sincerest apologies; I really do wish I coud do something.

Hello! I am super happy to announce that the game is now completely free-to-play, forever, for everybody!

Why?

Well, simply put, I don't much care about the revenue/income. I much more so would love for as many people as possible to be able to play and (hopefully) enjoy what I've made!

What about Trading Cards?

Unfortunately, Trading Cards are only supported by paid games/those with in-game purchases, neither of which apply to this game any longer. So, sadly, there are no Trading Cards/badges/wallpapers/emoticons for this game. ːsteamsadː But hey, free! ...so, that's cool!

Anything else?

Yes, just one last thing

I sincerely hope you all enjoy this! I know it isn't perfect (far from it), but take it for what it is: a quick, fast-paced Adventure/RPG game made by one person over the course of a few months for fun.

Also, I would love to hear feedback

write a review if you have anything to say! Good, bad, or really bad , I'd love to hear whatever it is you have to say. Thanks so much! Sunshine Games
