Hi everyone!
After getting everything put together and approved, the game is coming to Steam!
Before we get into it, a huge thank you to everyone who played the free version of the game on Itch and gave your thoughts and feedback. For those who support us on Patreon, not a lot will change for you for now, but some options will open up, so let's go over it in detail!
What's this mean? - In a few weeks, we'll be putting out an updated demo on steam, covering a large portion of Act 1 and focusing on Bridgette and Dana's story, this will let players get an idea of what the game has to offer free of charge. The version of the Demo on Itch.io will be updated to match.
What happens to itch.io ? - The itch.io private page accessed via Patreon support will still be used for Dev builds to test for bugs and issues. In October, the game will go live for Early Access as part of Steam's Next Fest, and will match the former itch.io release schedule, where the public build stays one major version behind the dev build. When this happens, the non-Demo version of the game on itch.io will no longer be updated.
What happens to Patreon ? - Patreon will still remain the place to find the latest dev version for helping us to test bugs, get behind the scenes looks at the game, give feedback, and participate in community polls and events.
When the full 1.0.0 version of the game launches the Patreon will switch to supporting us in our next project, whether that be a new game entirely or potentially even DLC for Project T.H.R.U.S.T.
What's the Price? - Early Access on Steam will be $14.99 USD (Varying based on location). On full release of 1.0.0 with all content and storylines completed, the price will increase to $19.99 to reflect the completed content. This is a one-time purchase price and you'll own the game and all future updates from that point forward (including any DLC).
For those supporting the game on Patreon prior to the Steam Early Access launch, we want to return the favor. If you've supported at least $30 over your time as a supporter, you'll receive a 90% discount code for the Steam version of the game, bringing the price down to $1.50, as well as one free month of Patreon Tester access. You will not be required to purchase the game to get that free month, either. We will send messages/DMs via Patreon for the discount codes and the free month shortly after Early Access goes live.
Wanna help us out before all that happens? - Wishlist us! It's free, and it makes a huge difference in how Steam treats us at launch. More wishlists means more eyes on the game, which can open things up to more content down the line. So if you really want to be part of making this game a success, that's a massive way to help!
