[img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/34144185/ee67edbb49ce25828754860abe6efcfcd33936bb.png[/img] Hey everybody! We have some news to share! We’ve been keeping an eye on your feedback, and one of the major complaints we’ve noticed has been the tank controls. Whilst this was a core part of the design, it’s clear that many players do not have a good experience with this control scheme. [h3]New Control Scheme Option - Free Movement[/h3] After some debate, we’ve decided to add non-tank controls as an option! This way, players will still be able to experience the original scheme if they would like, or change to an easier “free movement” control scheme. This WILL make the game less challenging, but we think those that use the new “free movement” scheme will still have a great time. [h3]Price Increase[/h3] Additionally, we’d like to announce we are planning a price increase to [b]$4.99[/b]. We don’t take the decision lightly, but please let me explain: [list] [*] We’ve added several new features (localisation, controller support, optimisations) since initial release [*] We would like to bring the Steam version to price parity with the Nintendo Switch version [*] The price-point of $2.99 has not been sustainable for our studio. In the past 10 months on Steam, we have only earned equivalent to two weeks worth of company running costs. [/list] This will be happening on [b]August 1st, 2020[/b]. So you can hop in early if you’d like to get the game at the old price! I hope you will understand our reasoning, and that this slight bump will make a sizable difference for our small team in the long run. The longer we can survive, the more likely it’ll be for us to make new adventures for little Roombo. [h3]Release date[/h3] We are estimating a late [b]July release date for the patch[/b]. Be well and stay safe, friends! Much Love, Samurai Punk <3
