Transparency with the community is extremely important to me. That's why I want to let you all know that the price of Odd Realm will soon be going up from $10 USD to $15 USD in about a month. The game is currently on sale for 20% off to help players get the game at a lower price before I make this price change.
Now, I've always tried to keep the price of Odd Realm low for a few reasons but, namely, being an early access game, I wanted to make sure the price was fair to the consumer. If they're buying a half finished game, it should be half the price. That's why I started the price at $10, half of the $20 price that the 1.0 game will be. Now that we're getting very close to that 1.0 finish line, and there is a third race to play in the game, I feel it's time to raise the price to $15.
Normally, that content to price conversion wouldn't be on my mind and I'd keep the price low. However, a big part of raising the price now is that things are starting to get much more expensive where I live and $10 is no longer a feasible income price point.
Lastly, and this is a small thing but still a thing, I think many dismiss cheap games as amateur or small projects. I think it's easy for folks to see $10 on Odd Realm and think, 'eh, that is probably not a serious game or it's extremely short.' It's not, and it's not. I hate, HATE the marketing side of making games, but at the end of the day, I have to also consider how these things affect the development of Odd Realm.
Anyway, I hope you can understand my intentions here. To all of you supporting the game and telling your friends about it, I want to say thank you. I wouldn't be able to make this game without that.
