hey y’all, denny here, أنا’ve got a special announcement to make in terms of the monetization of the game! instead of just the first episode being free, the first THREE episodes of each season will be free. more specifically:
- season 3’s first three episodes will be free upon launch!
- s1 episode 2, s1 episode 3, s2 episode 2 and s2 episode 3 will be made free on june 7th!
- as a token of our appreciation to those who paid for those four episodes, you have been awarded the prestigious “#1 ckc fan badge” on the main menu of your game. نعم, you alone, if you’re reading this and paid for any of those episodes, are the #1 fan. don’t tell anyone else. the badge changes depending on how many of those four episodes you’ve paid for. all you have to do is launch the game with the specific episode dlc active and the badge will become a part of your game!
that’s the main stuff, but if you wanna see me rambling a little more, read on!
we decided to make more episodes free for a few reasons: i felt bad about all three seasons culminating to a total cost of $43ish USD (and that’s WITH the 20% discount from bundling). when i’d originally priced things i was going off of how we priced our other game, purrfect apawcalypse 3, which was $6.99 USD. divided by its 3.5 distinct “المستويات”, i thought $1.99 per episode of cool kid cody felt fair. now i feel like it’s a bit steep, especially since we’d like to eventually port cool kid cody to the google play store and offering such an expensive game on mobile feels unfair.
i also thought about upping the discount on the bundle instead, but didn’t want to bump up against steam’s caveat wherein the average price per item in a bundle must be at least $0.49 USD (and if we dip below that, the dlc won’t be visible to you at all). we’ve had a few issues with this before, especially when currencies suddenly inflate/we offer sales on top of the bundle, so i thought it’d be less complicated to lower the overall cost of the game by making more episodes free.
anyway, i waffled over how to do this in a way that’d be kind towards future players, but also appreciative of the players who supported us by paying for those first episodes as soon as they came out. i know it isn’t much, but i hope you enjoy the badge. your support helped us bring this massive project to completion and i can’t be thankful enough for you playing our games, participating in fundraisers and making amazing fan content. أنت’re seriously cool in the real way and we really appreciate you.
welp, that’s it for now, talk to you next week! 🙂
<3 denny and andy
