Hello everyone,
We must welcome everyone who has joined us over the last several days during the Steam summer sale. I'd also like to give a thank you to those who have been helping out our new players by answering questions in the forum.
I wanted to let everyone know that we are planning to increase the price for Jalopy slightly shortly after the Steam Summer sale. This will be the final price of the game and there will be no more price increases after this... This also means there will be no price increase for the games full game launch.
Of course, if you bought the game already, you of course don't need to pay any extra! I didn't think I would need to mention this but I believe I will still get this question via email a few times :)
There are several reasons to initiate a price increase, but one of the biggest reasons is to maximize the games presence when it does launch as a full game. It's all very boring behind the scenes strategy to help market the game and is part of the less interesting side of game development, but I hope that many of you understand as it will allow us to reach more players and hope to sustain a good future for us even after the games full release.
As promised in the Early Access questions, I said that I would let everyone know if a price increase was planned to happen. It's not an easy job to value and price your game (in fact this is the most difficult thing to do in order to value the worth of something you have worked on!).
Thank you to everyone who has bought the game so far and helped support us. We hope that you've enjoyed the game so far and continue to support us by leaving questions and engaging in the forums.
Now, regarding the actual development!
Right now Greg is working on bringing back the Uncle, but also looking at Steering Wheel Support as well. Sorry this post isn't very development heavy, it's more of an admin related post. We''ll get to the more exciting side of Games development very soon and show off new things within the next few weeks!
Update 7th July 2017:
The price Increase is now live.
