Doesn’t matter, there’s a snowballs chance in hell Valve will sell.

Horn of Balance - an indie 2D zelda-like

I'm developing 'Horn of Balance', a 2D zelda-like featuring 12 non-linear dungeons, 2 interconnected worlds and a TON of secrets.

Right now, the project is live on Kickstarter (https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/hornofbalance/horn-of-balance) and we've almost hit the funding goal with just 24 hours left!

There's also a free demo on Steam (https://store.steampowered.com/app/2738140/Horn_of_Balance/) and Itch.

I'm happy to answer any questions you might have!

Iirc you can technically release as DRM free on Steam. There are some out there you can literally drag and drop to a different PC and it’ll work just fine. Just in case you wanted to go that route since you hate DRM.

In short, don’t expect to see an iOS version of the Epic Games Store or an iOS return for Fortnite anytime soon (although the latter continues to be available on the platform via Xbox Cloud Gaming)

Missing the fact that Apple is cutting off PWAs in the EU, which Xbox Cloud Gaming relies on due to Apples ridiculous rules.

That’s something I suppose.

Didn’t this happen years ago with a mount in WoW?

Just in response to your edit, Fortnite was interesting on release but was likely never going to see vast popularity. The release of BR was really the only reason sales picked up, and at that point it makes sense to focus on the mode that’s vastly more popular.

I get that it sucks, but if it wasn’t for the pivot to BR full time, STW would likely still be where it is now, only in a dying game.

Technically it’s possible, but you’d have to reply on the cooperation of empress and that’s… not gonna happen.

Wait, do Steam games have physical releases? Like, not just a physical box but physical media you install the game from?

So they just co-opted an argument for piracy and applied it to a paid service? Lmao

I… but… that… that isn’t how this works…

You’re putting the cat outside after it already ate the canary.

To be fair, the engine has been overhauled since the original CE. So, while it’s not “new” it’s also not “the same engine.”

Game developers flee Unity after exorbitant price plan announced, but not everyone can get out (boingboing.net) angielski

Unity isn't a game engine. It's a malware-pushing advertising network which merged with a game engine to acquire a delivery channel and now wears its skin. This is fine for the bigger devs and publishers structured around platform relationships, but for everyone else? Gamemaker, Godot, Unreal, Defold… pick a flavor, they're...

Even if they aren’t lying and have the magical ability to determine the exact number of installs, some asshole is going to create a bot net which spams unique installs for developers they don’t like, skyrocketing the number of “installs” and therefore the cost to do business.

Not really sure what response you’re looking for here. Perhaps the same one as going into any community and saying “I’m so tired of hearing about [major thing that happened recently related to the community].”

“God damn I’m so tired of hearing about the Super Bowl, it’s been a freaking week can y’all just get over it?”

Those are solved issues in other engines, meaning not at all insurmountable.

I feel like this was a missed opportunity. If they had done this on release, they’d likely have sold much better.
