The TTT stream is promoted to the Twitch front page when there aren’t other things on their calendar, so it occasionally filled with way more people than usual for my streams. I had just released build v.0 earlier this morning, which had a ton of optimizations for performance on the new artwork, and it was so nice to stream at a good framerate again! I’ll do a detailed blog post about the optimizations soon.
Here’s the one from today: 1 Today I played varanas, and then moons for his 1k birthday game. It’s a mix of playtesting, development, and debugging broken builds that were supposed to “just work”. I have no doubts that the earnings during the early access phase will be much less than if the game would have a 10-15 bucks price tag but it seems being short on money isn't the company's concern.I recently started doing a weekly SpyParty stream on Twitch, and I’ve decided to call it Tuesdays at Ten on Twitch, because, well, it’s on Tuesdays at 10am US Pacific time on the SpyParty Twitch Channel, funny that! I will usually tweet about it, or you can subscribe to the channel for notifications whenever I stream, or check out the SpyParty Streams Notifier for all related streams. This obviously means much less people playing the game but at least people who seem to be very interested, which has its advantage too. I respect that he opted for this pricing philosophy which he is not the only one going for it by having a high starting price and most likely not changing it until release either.
I am just speaking as someone who is interested in the game but is concerned about his 25/50 bucks as you indeed want a friend to play with you and for myself, I couldn't either, so the game is not an option at all in such circumstances as playing with a stranger seems not to be something I would enjoy. I am pretty sure there is pretty much more behind the game than finding the black sheep and shoot it. I think the question is less about if the game is worth 25 bucks or not but that it seems indeed a lot for such a game. To use a metaphor: you'll make a lot more money selling lemonade at $1 a glass than you will at $5.ġ - only about 0.1% of owners still play itĢ - it's only fun with friends so you gotta convince your friends to buy it (or buy it for them)ģ - it's gonna go on sale eventually so why not nowīonus reason: If people watch too much of the game via twitch streams or videos of their favorite youtubers playing it, they will ultimately lose interest. I wouldn't be surprised to see this game go 75% off during a big steam sale. The game is going to be much more fun if you're on voice chat with a friend, as opposed to playing with random people online.Įarly Access players will feel cheated when the price inevitably drops. Furthermore: assuming your friend gets bored of it, but you don't, then you'll have to cough up another $25 for each friend you want to try it with. Personally none of my friends wanted to drop $25 on this game, and I didn't want to drop $50 for two copies. If you wanna play it with a friend (which you will), you have to shell out $50 or convince them into buying it. Though I'm sure those first several hours will be a blast. Assuming the game sold about 25,000 copies (a rather generous estimate), that means about 0.1% of owners still play it. Don't believe me? According to SteamSpy, the daily peak concurrent players is between 15~40 people, an average of 25 I'd say. You'll probably be bored of it in a few hours. First off I want to say that I fully respect the developers decision to keep the price at $25 if they believe it's what works best for them, these are merely my own thoughts and opinions on the game's price tag.įlavor of the week meme game.
