First off, for anyone who has previously purchased the game and played it, thank you so much.
It means the world to me when people play it and talk about it and i've loved all of the community's support along the way.

GODSTEEL originally dropped as early access on September 8th, 2025, and a bit after that, i had officially decided i'm tired of working on it as it's been such a struggle and stressful experience over the months it took.

I loved it, I loved godsteel and wanted to put my heart and soul into it, so i spent a long time trying to refine it to be the best it could be, but fatigue hit me. I became overly obsessed with perfecting it, so much that i would go and remake the entire game from scratch every tuesday basically. It was such a constant loop and grind, it didn't feel fun anymore.

Towards the end of the time i was developing it, i had been wanting to work on new things with new ideas i had, but i felt tethered to godsteel, it had to be released. People were eager to play it and get their hands on it, so i crunched out an early access release of it in september, only to completely stop making the game afterwards.

I'm sorry if you're sad, but trust me, I am too. I was the person who wanted to see the game fully finished and shining bright the most, and i had made almost a promise that it would be done, but due to numerous mental health issues and stress i had to sadly cancel it.

I'm only now making this announcement because I wanted to say i'm doing great right now in my life, and i have some amazing ideas brewing, i can definitely see the future and it's freaking sick.

I'll be working with steam to try and make godsteel free to play from now on, since it isn't fair to buy a game for five dollars that will never be finished honestly.

Thank you so much for the support and for playing my game, hopefully in the future i'll have a new cool game for yall to play, but i've recently been focusing on art and music creation, though i have plans for getting back into game dev later eventually.

peace brah
