Hello everyone,
We have an important update to share with you all. Shoppe Keep 2 will now launch on 3rd May 2018 at 9AM PDT/5PM BST.
Unfortunately, we will not be releasing the game later today as planned. We’ve encountered an issue with multiplayer that needs to be fixed before release. While we have been extensively testing Shoppe Keep 2 for months, both internally and externally, this managed to slip through the cracks.
We are very sorry that this has happened. As a developer, you get one shot to launch your game. There is an unprecedented amount of games being released every day on Steam and we want to launch with the best version possible of Shoppe Keep 2.
There are many games with an online focus that launch nowadays with major issues and game-breaking bugs. Rather than to launch something and then fix it, we prefer to fix things and then launch them.
We understand that there are many of you who have been following us for weeks or even months and this is of course disappointing. We are truly sorry that we have had to delay the game, and we are as disappointed as you are.
Please know that Shoppe Keep 2’s Early Access launch will be much smoother thanks to this short delay.
Of course, as mentioned previously, there will also be special discount vouchers dropping into the Steam inboxes for owners of the original Shoppe Keep, and Craft Keep VR. In addition, we will be adding a special in-game item for if you own the original Shoppe Keep and/or Craft Keep VR as a loyalty reward.
Thank you very much for your patience and understanding. Once again, we apologise profusely for the delay. We look forward to opening Shoppe and welcoming you all into Customerania next week, on 3rd May.
Thank you,
The Shoppe Keep 2 Team
