  • How's the release spike going? Have you managed to drive any press to the game?

    I see you've got a 5% discount running at the moment, that's interesting. Why 5% and what made you decide to do that instead of taking the Vlambeer route and not discounting during EA at all?
  • Well it seems like Steam are either having issues or just have a really odd way of promoting games. Once you move from Upcoming games to Released you literally disappear from any form of discoverability. They say your game "may" show up on the Popular New Release for Early Access, and if popular it May be chosen to show on the Main Page too.

    It's pretty difficulty to be popular if you not being featured in any way by Steam. You literally get more traffic whilst in the upcoming games than being released. So we pretty disappointed. We still selling well and making decent cash, but pretty sure it would have been at least 10x to 100x better if we made it onto ANY list at all.

    The 5% discount was just a small bonus for players who picked it up the first week, we wanted to price the game at $ 7.49 but Steam don't offer that option, so the 5% helped put it in that range. Nobody has complained about the price, in fact they have complimented us on the price.

    Also we figured being discounted would mean we would also get on another list in the store, but turns out we don't crack any list :( Steam haven't been too helpful either, very little communication from them.

    The good news everyone has commented that the game is a lot of fun and recommended it. 16 positive reviews (100% positive)
