Hi everyone, Throughout my gamedev career I have tried to keep my games affordable, as my goal was to share this world with others. Towards that end, I have a habit of perhaps underpricing my games.

Hi everyone,

Throughout my gamedev career I have tried to keep my games affordable, as my goal was to share this world with others. Towards that end, I have a habit of perhaps underpricing my games. I’m pleased to say I will be doing it again.

The initial Early Access price will be decreasing from the planned 35 USD to 20 USD, with a small launch discount. This price is expected to rise throughout the Early Access process, especially once we reach 1.0.

I made this decision because I don’t want my game to strain anyone’s budget, especially in our increasingly chaotic world. I didn’t get into games to make money (spoiler: and I didn’t). I make games to tell stories.

BACKERS PLEASE READ THIS

To my Kickstarter supporters, who already backed me at the higher price, I don’t take your support for granted. I am offering everyone who already bought in to this project at the 34 USD tier or higher the choice between the following:

A partial refund (does not affect your reward tier at all, you’re just getting money back)

Or

All DLC for Vampire Syndicate: Gangs of MoonFall and a free copy of my next game

These refunds will be coming directly from my own pocket and I will be eating processing fees so you don't have to, but it may take some time to process. For Kickstarter backers, simply message me on that platform if you would like a partial refund. No action needs to be taken if you want to opt for the DLC + next game combo. The same goes for those who purchased the Beta version on Itch or Patreon, please send me a message on those platforms.

If I can ask a favor it’s to make the request sometime in July, as this month is proving to be very hectic. Thank you,
