--- RECEIVING BROADCAST FLUX-LETTER ---
Hello, everyone!
On October 3rd, Beyond the Storm will celebrate its 3rd anniversary since launch. To mark this meaningful date, I’ve decided to make the game permanently free on Steam. This choice is not just symbolic — it carries a deep sense of gratitude, closure, and renewal.
Beyond the Storm was born from an old dream, fueled by years of passion for games and the desire to create something that could resonate with others. It was a project developed almost entirely on my own, with limited resources but total dedication. Countless sleepless nights, technical and emotional challenges, and a journey that took a toll on my mental health. Despite all the effort, the game didn’t gain much visibility, and trying to profit from it became a source of frustration rather than fulfillment.
That’s why I’ve decided it’s time to set Beyond the Storm free to the world. Making it free is my way of saying: “Thank you for everything — now it’s time to move forward.”
💕 My heartfelt thanks:
To my family, who supported me even without fully understanding the game development process, but always believed in me and gave me strength during the hardest moments.
To my friends, who listened to my frustrations, tested unfinished versions, gave honest feedback, and stood by me when everything seemed to fall apart.
To the players — every person who clicked “Install,” who played, commented, shared — you are the reason this project exists. Even if there were only a few of you, each player meant the world to me.
And to the creators of the classic Tyrian, who deeply inspired me. Beyond the Storm is, in many ways, a love letter to that game which marked my childhood. Without Tyrian, I might never have dreamed of creating something of my own.
📅 Starting October 3rd, 2025, Beyond the Storm will be available for free to all Steam users.
This change represents a dignified closure to this chapter of my life and opens space for new projects, new ideas, and hopefully new collaborations. I hope that by making the game free, more people will discover it, play it, and feel a bit of the soul I poured into it.
To those of you who purchased Beyond the Storm during this period, don’t worry — you won’t be left empty-handed: I’ve prepared a little surprise inside the game, just for you after this date. Thank you so much for being part of this story!
With love and respect,
Leandro Gabriel
