We just wanted to put out a quick reminder that Nuclear Throne will not be in the Steam Summer Sales, or in any sale in any capacity for that matter, while it's in Early Access.
To us, Early Access is a way to gather feedback and improve the game, and not a way to maximize our profits or earn quick money prior to launch. We've found that the quality of feedback is higher with a dedicated community that loves roguelike-likes, instead of thousands of people that bought the game 'because it was on sale'. We don't want to do strange price hikes and drops, we don't want to play with pricing - we want to be upfront and honest with you about what the price of Nuclear Throne will be in the future.
While we appreciate that many of you are excited for Nuclear Throne, the game will remain $12.99 while in Early Access. After the game hits version 1.0 (which is currently scheduled to hit in a couple of months), we'll drop the price to $11.99. A while after release we'll start considering sales, but at this timeline that means the game very likely won't be on sale until the end of this year, or early next year.
Thanks so much for your support, and for helping us make Nuclear Throne the best game we can possibly make it. As always, catch us on the livestreams every Tuesday and Thursday, and we're looking forward to your response on this weeks update.
