Hello Nomads,
We hope this message finds you well. As many of you have probably heard, Unity Technologies announced a significant change to their licensing model, introducing a "Unity Runtime Fee." This fee is based on the number of users installing games built on their engine, among other factors.
What Does This Mean For Our Games?
Voids Adrift, Voids Adrift: Island Designer, Lone Masts and other titles we have developed are currently powered by Unity. While these changes are noteworthy and will impact the financials of our studio to a certain extent, we want to make it clear: We have no plans to cease development on any of our games.
Future Uncertainty
The future is somewhat uncertain, as it often is in the fast-moving world of game development. While we've enjoyed a fruitful relationship with Unity, these changes are prompting us to consider other options, including potentially porting to another engine in the future.
Committed to Excellence
Despite the evolving landscape, we remain committed to delivering the quality gameplay experiences you've come to expect from us. We're taking these changes in stride and actively exploring avenues that let us continue our passion for game development in the most efficient and sustainable way possible.
A Plea for Understanding
As we navigate these challenging waters, we hope for your understanding and continued support. Rest assured, your satisfaction is and always has been our utmost priority. Your feedback, as always, is invaluable to us as we make decisions for the future.
Thank you for being an integral part of our community.
We'll continue to provide updates as we have more information. Stay safe and keep gaming, Nomads!
With gratitude,
Team ZaviiNet
