changedGray Market KeysI've noticed that keys for Urban Explorer Golf are available for a low price on the gray market key seller sites. If you want to support me, the developer, don't buy them there. These are keys that should be for press coverage, not for sale. If you have bought a key there, please send me a mail (don't worry you can keep the game)
changedFutureI will provide patches for Urban Explorer Golf as needed, and I will continue making games. However, the next game will be completely different, I will try to build a community while developing the game and it somehow has to be financially solid during development. Thanks and have a nice day!

Launch

First, thanks to everyone who bought the game, you are awesome! If you want to, please write a review for the game, we are missing a few :-) I think you all are aware that the launch did not work well. I hoped there would be more traffic from the steam ecosystem and also more press/youtube/twitch coverage. Creating games is hard, but marketing games without a budget is almost impossible.

Gray Market Keys

I've noticed that keys for Urban Explorer Golf are available for a low price on the gray market key seller sites. If you want to support me, the developer, don't buy them there. These are keys that should be for press coverage, not for sale. If you have bought a key there, please send me a mail (don't worry you can keep the game)

Press Requests

Because of the gray market issues, I've decided to only give out keys to press/youtubers and twitch streamers that either don't use a gmail email address or can prove that they are the press outlet/youtuber/streamer they claim they are.

Future

I will provide patches for Urban Explorer Golf as needed, and I will continue making games. However, the next game will be completely different, I will try to build a community while developing the game and it somehow has to be financially solid during development. Thanks and have a nice day!
