Ahoy mateys,
'tis I, your captain and dev, Taylan, and I bring bitter sweet tidings... well, more on the bitter side, I guess.
So, Pirates of Gravitae is now officially out of Early Access.
Note the lack of exclamation point there, as this was not what I had originally planned back when I first started working on the game. In a classic tale of naïve indie dev optimism, I poured my time and savings into a project that I hoped would find an audience and at least a modest level of success, so that I could add more content to it over time. Years after the initial Early Access release, I can tell you now that this bet did not pay off. Not by a long mile.
Perhaps the subject matter was too out there? Or the 2D/3D perspective was too jarring? Maybe I didn't market it well enough? Likely it was a combination of all those and more. The bottom line is that I have to admit defeat and bring this to a closure. This last update will be the 1.0 release, and the price will be reduced to reflect the limited amount of content.
If you are one of the handful of people who gave this a chance in hopes of seeing more of it, and you believe you did not get enough value out of your purchase, reach out to me and I will figure out how to refund you. Otherwise I would like to thank you for supporting me on this doomed expedition.
Best regards,
Taylan
