Hi everyone!
Although we just talked about what's coming in 1.0 recently, it didn't really hit me until I started writing this announcement. Emberward's Early Access is really almost over! I've been trying really hard to get everything done lately...I'm even dreaming about designing new levels. Hopefully I can wrap up 1.0 soon so I can get back to working on the more fun stuff, like new towers and relics 😆
(If you missed what's coming in 1.0, you can check out the previous post!)
Because of Steam's rules, after a game's price is changed, there's a one-month cooldown before it can go on sale. So I need to update the price to the full release price a little ahead of the update to make sure there can be a launch discount when 1.0 comes out.
So, Emberward's price will change from $14.99 USD to $19.99 USD on July 15! Regions with regional pricing will be adjusted accordingly as well.
And since this announcement happens to go out right before the Summer Sale ends (Yeah I totally forgot about this...), I've also extended the discount until July 15, so players who see this and want to pick up the game right now won't be sad to find that it's already back to full price.
As for the 1.0 release date, I'm hoping to get it out before the end of August, but there are still a lot of things I'm not totally sure about yet (like how long testing and translation will take). I'll share it once it's confirmed!
Thanks again, everyone, for supporting Emberward's development over the past two years. I'll do my best to get the new 1.0 content into your hands soon!
