IMPORTANT: pricing for my next game!

Added 2021-12-14 03:00:19 +0000 UTC

hello! this is an important post so please read to the end!

i want to try something new where i release my next game as paid only rather than pwyw. i am planning on pricing it at ~3 USD (still thinking about this). i've been thinking a lot on what the solution is to pwyw/donation games on itch.io - i love that a lot of people play my games & enjoy them, but right now it's just not sustainable for me. i've tried various things like adding bonuses & even making a zine about why people should pay for free games, but to be very frank, of all the projects i've released on itch... about 50% of them have not even made $100 & 25% of them haven't even made $10 😅

my most successful 'game is A YEAR OF SPRINGS by far, but of my tiny games, the most successful is my FREE GAMES & why we should PAY FOR THEM zine, the only paid project of the bunch. as of this post, it's made $267.06, which makes it my 10th highest paid for game on itch - & it's not even a game!

this is why i want to try making a paid-only game & seeing how things go.

all of you pledged to this patreon for this month will get the game for free as part of your pledge though (using the usual method of linking the game to your itch.io account!) - if things go according to plan, i'll have the game up for the end of the month!

i hope you'll all enjoy it 💜

(i also have a separate post for those of you on old patreon tiers - that post has important info for you too, so if that's relevant to you, please read the post!)
