Chapter 10 weekly status report (4)
Here's this week status report:
This week I've been putting a lot of focus on the update and I finally started writing it. Feels good to be knocking lines out again, but writing the game with the level of detail it's expected of ORS is quite taxing mentally. Before I used to finish all the art before starting writing, but the sheer amount of images produced for each update now has forced me to combine writing and drawing, and I think it's the way to go. This allows me to switch between tasks, which makes it easy to avoid bottlenecks. Right now I've completed around 70 drawings, and I have the feeling that's only half of the final count.
On another subject, I've been talking about the Steam release for a while. Since my main focus is on developing chapter 10, it's going slow, but there's one major setback that has me hesitant and undecided: My plan was to price ORS at around 10-12€, but Steam has a very strict pricing policy, and it seems it doesn't allow the games being sold there to be acquired by a lower sum anywhere else, including Patreon. Right now, the 5€ Wingman tier gets you access to ORS' 9 chapters, so this means I can't set the price I was aiming for. Selling it below 10€ on Steam feels like undervaluing the game a lot, especially considering Steam takes 30% and another 30% aprox. goes to taxes...
I know other developers have faced this issue and come up with different solutions. I'd like to find one that's as straightforward and un-convoluted as possible, and especially one you guys feel comfortable with. I'd like to read your ideas and suggestions in the comments, so share them with me, please
That'll be it for now. Oh, and at the end of the week I will post all the Fan Art entries for the
