~ The price of the game and my stance about discounts ~

Some time ago, I really wanted a game. The game price was 35 bucks. And that was a lot for me at the time. But the game was really cool, and the developer was awesome. So I chipped in, got the game for full price. Even left a review because I heard this helps the game in some way.

Two days after that, the game went on a custom sale and the price went down to $4.99. Was I scammed? No, of course. But it did make me feel like a loser T_T

I said to myself that if I ever, by any miracle, make a game, I will never spam discounts and maintain a reasonable margin for the few I will run.

So the base price of Dreams of Amelia is $14.99. And will NEVER, ever go beyond -33%. Regardless of the platform. I cannot imagine weaving a bond with fans and followers if I juggle the prices up and down. I am aware I might be losing some chunk of revenue, but I have really tiny material needs, you know hehe. And I like things to be predictable. And I hope some of you will share the same sentiment. Sorry if I'll make someone angry, but I believe being transparent is worth more T_T

~ Feature Request Form ~

It came to my attention that a lot of you guys would like this or that in the game, but you don't want to stick your head out. Perfectly understandable. Even I am hush about some of my own fantasies *^-^*
Hence, I made a google form to fill in the blanks and secure your privacy a bit. Hope this helps ^.^

~ Roadmap / Development Plan ~

I posted it right away after I released the game on Itch, but then I forgot I never linked it anywhere XD
So here you have it at last!

I am stunlocked how fast Amelia is gaining speed, and I start to worry, do I really deserve the attention, and am I up to task ._.

I am not saying that for you to come and say "there there". No. I am honestly worried. As I said many times by now, I came in with no expectations. No, scratch that. I did actually come with some.

I expected ppl will boo me out of the milky way, I'll get depressed, put this entire game making on the pile with all my other broken dreams, then I will proceed being depressed for couple of months and then I will get over it and reverse back to my usual generic NPC mode.

But then this happened. You happen. And for some reason, you won't let me go. You stick to me like a warm blanket, covering me in a cocoon of happy. And for the first time in my life, I feel I am worth something.

I do not know if my game will fulfil your dreams and hopes. But I know that I will do everything in my power, drain all my resources, to provide you with the best I am capable of.

Time will tell if my "everything", has been "enough".

Thank you! And see you soon by the weekend. I prepared lots of goodies for you, my dear :-)
