Original postDear adventurers,
it's been a while since our journey began, and I wanted to take a moment to fill you in on the happenings and extend a heartfelt apology. As a solo developer, I underestimated the challenges of a commercial release. Mistakes were made: from the initial price point to the quality assurance process, and I'm here to make things right. I've teamed up with the passionate folks at Gamera Interactive, fellow indie developers who've provided insights and support.The price has been a point of contention, and I've reevaluated it. After careful consideration and feedback from the community, Brinefall will now be available at a new price point of 7.99€/$. This adjustment brings it in line with other games of similar scope. Furthermore, I want to ensure that this adjustment is fair for all our players around the world. As a result, the price will be slightly adjusted depending on your country to account for regional economic factors. Rest assured, this change is aimed at making Brinfall accessible to a wider audience, and I appreciate your understanding.
Due to recent developments, including the development of a new project, I've considered the possibility of transitioning Brinefall to a new engine. This, however, would take considerabIe time away from the game's development. After careful consideration, I've decided to stay with Unity for Brinefall's continued journey. Rest assured, I'm committed to providing the best experience possible within this framework.
In response to the valuable feedback from the community, this update focuses on polishing and addressing various issues that have been brought to my attention. I've listened, and I'm committed to making Brinefall the best it can be. You can expect smoother gameplay, enhanced performances, and a more immersive experience overall. I've also tackled bugs and glitches reported by the community.
Thank you for your patience and unwavering support. Keep an eye out for the upcoming updates, and let's embark on this journey anew.
Michael
