addedUpdate : The upgrade key is for TRUE supporters of this project - Please let me explain: The indie gala hump day purchasers do not qualify for a free steam key HOWEVER I will accept some responsibility for my lack of clarvoyance I will give keys to Indiegala humpday buyers Until Tomorrow (Thursday Jan 19 2017) , and thats it. I think that is fair yeah? My policy is transparency, any information I can give I will (outside of my bank info) (Edit : holy crap my fingers are cold this morning, TYPOS everywhere LOL) To be clear, im using indie gala partially as a desperation move. You might not realize that I lost my job in January of 2016 and I havent found comparable employment since. What this means is, Im working odd jobs to fund this games development. I got some help from 378 and KS (believe me I needed it) Financially this thing has been a real struggle from beginning till end though. Because its winter my main source of income is snow removal, but heres the thing... this year we havent gotten much snow :-( I appreciate everyone who wants to support this game, but to be extra clear Ill be lucky to make rent money out of the indie gala sale. .. Please buy the game directly from steam if you want to support this. A user pointed to me and said Im whats wrong with steam, while I think that is a little overly dramatic, it is a bit hurtful to hear that. Ive invested over 7000$ into this game, and over a year of time and labour and Im seeing this through to the bitter end. If I made a mistake, Im sorry I wont try and justify it, all I can do is apologize and try to be fair. Despite not making a cent so far, I have persisted on finishing this game We see games funded by KS and indiegogo, we see them make tens of thousands before even MAKING a game, only to be abandonned outright. (One such example literally spent the money on gambling and drugs) I got some support from KS backers (thank you :-)) But this has been out of pocket and a true struggle. The reality is, without endorsement from a big youtuber most games fail. Steam is no longer the golden ticket to succeess and indeed many developers are forced to severely discount their games to break even. In some cases it has gotten so bad that devs resort to pushing trading cards over a quality game. These are not principles I personally endorse, in fact I am apalled by a lot of what I see, and in fact it effects Demon Sword Games and 378 to a great extent. BUT, and this is a big BUTT (lol) I believe in this project with all my heart and I believe the steam user base can be a terrific group of people, I dont think im entitled to riches or fortunes, but Im just trying to pay the bills ! So please, understand. Tyrfing Cycle - 563570 is a new game. IT reuses some sprites, it is a completely different animal altogether. Because I changed things so much From this launch I wanted my SUPPORTERS to get what theyre entitled to - that is The completed game. This Version Vanilla - has
