Hello all you spicey gamers, Gideon here, the Director of Night Spasm and the founder of FanFaction!
It's true, you read it right! Night Spasm is going FREE TO PLAY!
Why are we doing this? It's simple, really! As the FanFaction team continues to grow, we've begun working on some new projects... shooters, platformers, puzzle games, and more! Night Spasm served as our starting legacy, our first representation of what our team can do. The game has been out for almost two years now, and we've grown a small and loyal fanbase on our social media.
Since we've got other games coming up, we've decided to give our dedicated fans and any new fans a wonderful gift: a 30-hour RPG game ANYONE can play for FREE! What better way for a game to stand out than being free to play, right? And why not try a game if you've only got to GAIN from it! It's time every gamer of all ages and preferences got a chance to play something new and original everyone can love!
SO HERE'S THE DEALIO...
In the next month or so, Night Spasm will be free to download and play. All the content currently accessible can be played from beginning to end, which is all of Chapter 1. Chapter 1 features everything up to Region A1, the biggest area on the map. Anything that affects Region A1, such as new kingdoms and secret boss battles, will be available immediately when released to the public.
Night Spasm Chapter 1 will serve as the base game. All future chapters, like the upcoming Chapter 2, will come in the form of DLC, an expansion to the game of sorts. Our plan is to have all the future chapters as paid DLC, either as individual small purchases for each chapter or one big purchase for the full game. Additionally, we have a couple of other DLCs planned, such as new side stories, permanent character and base upgrades, and bundles of DLC-exclusive items... maybe a few crossovers as well...
"What if I previously paid for the game before it became free?"
Fear not, we know how that feels. Depending on what Steam is capable of doing, we would like to have all previous purchases serve as pre-purchases for Chapter 2, no matter what cost you bought it at. If that is not a possibility within Steam, as long as you have proof of purchase of the game, like the online receipt, we could manually send you a code.
Another thing to know: all unredeemed Steam codes for Night Spasm should become pre-purchase codes for Chapter 2 once the game has become free. Redeeming them now versus later shouldn't make a difference.
The community is growing, and so are we.
Catering to our fanbase is a major priority. Once Night Spasm goes free, we will set up a Night Spasm Discord server, a business email, and a FanFaction website! The Discord server will serve as the main platform for announcements, bug reports, and memes! We'll host many contests and be sure to keep everyone updated!
As for other social media, the FanFaction Instagram account will be our main business account, and any Night Spasm-related videos will still be uploaded to the FanFaction YouTube channel.
We'd love to hear your feedback!
Let us know what you think. We will get these projects done ASAP. Hopefully Steam will let us apply all of these methods. Do expect a large update before the price change!
Please consider following the Night Spasm Steam Community page and our other forms of social media. Your feedback and support are greatly appreciated. Keep those keyboards busy!
