Hello Steam Community,
We here, at Brown Studios, are a small indie team who mainly created our game "Forest of Evil" for fun; and because we wanted to make a game in the retro platforming style that we like to play.
Once finished, we thought the game was entertaining and challenging enough that perhaps other people would like to play it to. So, we of course made the decision to publish it on "Steam"; so that others could have the opportunity to find it, and play it.
The game was first released on June 21, 2019 for the initial purchase price of 2.99 USD. As some of you may know, or perhaps may not know, a small publishing fee is required to place games onto Steam. It also takes further time and money to develop a game on any level. Our game is not super huge, but neither was our price; and we often had discount times of up to 50% off.
Well, it has been almost 4 years now since the game was first launched onto "Steam"; and we have managed to gather enough money from it to break even on the production costs and fees.
So, we have made the decision as a team that "Forest of Evil" should now be available for FREE!
This way everyone who wants to download and play the game will have the opportunity to do so without a pay obstacle.
No other changes will come from this switch; just that if you or your friend were interested in playing the game, but weren't sure if it was worth paying for, well now you can try it out without having to worry about that!
As for all the players who did purchase our game; to you we offer a Very Big and Heart Felt THANK YOU!! Your combined purchases not only allowed us to release the game onto "Steam" without losing any money in the process, but also gave us a sense of validation as video game creators that is truly priceless! Having been avid video game players for years, and always wanting to know what it was like on the other side of that screen, this experience has been a well-enjoyed check-mark on our bucket-lists!
So, with that, we again offer a Big THANK YOU to everyone who saw our game and thought it looked good enough to put money towards purchasing; as well as a Thank You to Valve for existing and providing a place for us to offer our game to the world. And to all you new people who may find this game in the future, or who knew about it but hadn't decided to purchase it yet, we say; Welcome, Come On In, It's FREE Now!
