Hey everyone,
It’s been five years since Steelpaw launched in Early Access. To be honest, the game never really took off—only about 10 people bought it, and without enough players, the multiplayer side of the game never had a real chance. Because of that, I started working on a single-player adventure mode, but it was over-ambitious, rough around the edges, and ultimately never fully completed. That version has been sitting in the development branch for the past year, and while it's janky, it does exist. (So check it out!)
At this point, I've decided to make Steelpaw free to play. (ETA: As soon as Steam approves the price change) There probably won't be further updates or support, but if anyone wants to check it out, but if you and some friends want to jump in and mess around, now there’s nothing stopping you.
To those who originally bought the game, I appreciate you. I know switching it to free might feel weird, but I hope you understand the reasoning. Thank you for giving it a shot back then.
For what it's worth, I have been experimenting with a new take on Steelpaw. It's super ambitious, and I just started, so I can’t promise anything yet—but if anything comes of it, I’ll let you know.
That's all. No big relaunch, no grand plans—just making this version available for whoever wants to explore what’s there. As it stands, I think it's a pretty silly game to play with friends. Thank you for your support and understanding, and I hope you enjoy!
