Hello everyone ! :)
I hope you're doing good, destroying some Panzer IIIs or blowing up some T-34s.
I'm doing awesome, I'm glad you asked :D
I wanted to let everyone know about our decision to :
- Change the game's name
- Change the game's logo
- Change the game's price
About changing the game's name, as many of you noticed, the game features ... so many things. And as many of you suggested, we should change the name to something less "restrictive" and more global, that would fit the game's spirit more :)
Indeed, this game isn't about Operation Citadel. Why did I pick this one in the first place ? Oh well, I wasn't even planning on selling this game in the first place, I was making it for myself. But then when I realized its potential potential (hehe), I thought "Hey, why not". The name didn't matter since it wasn't anything more than a simple hobby, I mean, it still is a hobby don't get me wrong, I'm a student and this is what I do when I have free time. Anyway, I liked the eastern front a lot and all the "panzer this" "panzer that" were taken, I just decided "To hell with this" and gave it the name "Operation Citadel".
SO, we are brainstorming with my brother currently, but as this game is as much ours as it is yours (somehow), if you got any suggestion, shoot them now ! It is now or never :)
I know I already asked this once, but now this is seriously serious :)
About changing the game's logo, well, we're changing the game's name so, let's give it a brand new identity :) Maybe a new wallpaper ... ? Any suggestion on that one too ? ;)
And finally, pricing. We are realizing that the game still needs a lot, lot of work. Not in a bad way, we are just planning to add so much more content ! (Thinking about including WWI in the base game).
Many more tiles, units, features, scenarios ... I know that a lot of you to this day are still waiting for a decent pacific campaign, and I haven't forgotten ! I still am planning on making it, it will come, soon :)
And many more maps. So many. Ideas aren't the issue, really ! But if I want to continue working on this project UNTIL THE END. believe me, this isn't soon, then I need a bit more funding. We most likely will change the price tag to something like 24.99 USD. So a 10 dollars increase compared to now. The game still will go on sale so, don't worry :)
I would like to encourage you to get the game now while it is cheap. We don't have a fixed date, but as soon as we have the new name + logo + wallpaper (?), then we will adjust the pricing :)
The game reached a certain point, a certain quality, but a certain AMOUNT of CONTENT, which is incredible, that I feel good about asking more. This certainly isn't a rip-off.
I will keep answering each and every single one of your messages almost instantly, implement your ideas, and support the game for a VERY long time !
Well, that was all :)
Have a good day y'all !
Jules and Valentin
