10% Permanent Discount Bundle for All Games in the 1000 Princes Series

Dear Princess Players,I’m Ginyan, an indie otome game developer. After I posted the announcement about “1000 Princes” transitioning to a paid model, I received many negative comments and attacks, which left me feeling deeply wronged and under pressure. One of the main points of controversy was my use of AI in development. I will be releasing a video soon to show you in detail how I make the games and how AI fits into my workflow. I sincerely hope to be more transparent and open about my development process as an indie creator, using AI to better serve players.

Previously, I stated in the game’s free version description that “1000 Princes” was free because the princes’ love for you is unconditional and comes with no strings attached. The princes have never broken that promise—they each love you deeply. However, as the developer, I broke that promise by switching to a paid model to cover costs. That was my mistake, and I sincerely apologize.

In my previous post, I only mentioned the shift from free to paid, which understandably upset players as it seemed to take away value. But I actually had another part to the message—offering players a 10% permanent discount bundle! Unfortunately, I didn’t have time to include that in the same post. I was rushing to the airport and still needed time to prepare a chart and contact Steam support about the bundle setup. I planned to share the discount info after my flight.

In my hurry, I packed my things and shut down my desktop, taking only my light laptop. Thankfully, I caught the flight. But after landing and arriving at my hotel, I realized I had forgotten my foldable phone—the one with Steam Guard installed. I usually only use that phone for testing the Android version of the game and for Steam Guard confirmations. Leaving it at home meant I couldn’t log in to Steam through the mobile app.

This past week on my business trip has been very stressful. I saw many negative reviews but couldn’t publish the discount info to explain the other side of the paid model switch. I was heartbroken by the criticism and often cried under the hotel blankets.

Now that I’m back home, I can finally log in to Steamworks again and post this. I’ve always wanted to offer players a long-term, stable discount. Steam only allows time-limited discounts per game, unless multiple paid games are bundled together—then you can set a permanent discount for the bundle. This benefits both players and me. Now that “1000 Princes” has become a paid title, I finally have two paid games to qualify for a bundle—free games can't be added to bundles.

The name of this bundle is “Your All-Prince Husband.” It includes a group romance game (*1000 Princes*) and individual romance otome games (such as *Ling Tian*, *Howe*, etc.). Individual romance otome games will only be released once fully completed. Meanwhile, the group romance game *1000 Princes* follows an Early Access-style model and will continuously receive content updates. While in development, it will be sold at a tiered price; upon completion, it will be priced at $9.99 USD. Ultimately, each game will have the same final price of $9.99 USD and the bundle will offer a permanent 10% discount.

According to the Steam pricing template, USD pricing is the highest among all regions, and many countries/regions will see a lower actual price.
Individual romance otome games (such as *Ling Tian*, *Howe*, etc.) are priced at $9.99 USD, with a long-term 10% discount if purchased in the bundle.
The group route romance game *1000 Princes* has a tiered price when unfinished, and a final price of $9.99 USD when completed.
