Indie development is hard as hell, especially when you are doing solo development.
This project took 3 years to develop, and it had its ups and downs, but believing in the success of your dream project is the main driving force for the indie developer, and the thing that is pushing you forward to reach your goal.
This game was really made with passion and love for gaming, but unfortunately it is just not enough. Without media coverage or the community to drive it ,this project was destined to fail.
I tried to reach out to many influencers and media people to promote this game, but they just didn’t care about it, didn’t want to cover it and in many cases were very demeaning.
I also tried to find a publisher, but unfortunately their attitude towards this game was not really different. My only hope for this project to be completed was to make it available on Steam and try to gather funds from the actual revenue of the game, in hope the player will recognize its potential and support it.
Unfortunately this did not happen either. Game was free to play and it had almost everything unlocked in the free version of the game, to attract as many people as possible in order to build a community that will drive the development further.
Even though it was free this game did not do well and did not attract players.
Many of you have no idea how it feels to have a second job, working countless nights to bring your project to life, and after 3 years no one really cares about it even though you give it for free.
So I am shutting it down for now, and probably for good. There is no reason to develop this game anymore and probably no one cares about this, or this letter either. But it was my responsibility to say this to those few who actually bought the full version, and loved the game.
Don’t think of this as a scam, he took the money and ran. Since I didn't really make any money out of this game. I poured thousands of dollars and countless hours into its development, and there is no real reason to continue to do so.
I reduced the price of the game by 80% percent. So if you don’t think 3 years of my hard work is not worth even that, you can still play it for free. Or if you think its not worth you time just don't play it.
PS: Don't try this at home kids, because you will suffer as I did. :D
