New balance and upcoming price change
After a huge 0.6.0 update the most often comments were about increased complexity of the game in general and frequent cop raids in particular. So, we’ve decided to try a new balance in this update. Most significant changes are in products and selling mechanic. Two of most painful things were junkie deaths in case of poisoning (and inevitable cop raid after that) and explosion which lead to disappearing of produced stuff. So, it wasn’t useful to produce brown or white stuff. We’ve changed this part of the game. Now, in case of poisoning junkie will take some specific amount of damage but it can survive a few (still, if junkie’s hp will come to zero he will die and then, say hello to cops) In contrast, now all products have a healing property. So, if you have a lot of “unhealthy” junkies just sell them some green ;) Also, product package will not be “lost” after explosion anymore. Just take care of your employees and don’t forget about the healing room. The rest part of this update is price correction for products and rooms and changing some values of research. This time we’d be glad to hear a few words about new balance here on Steam discussions from you.
We’ve always said how important are people who supported our idea in the beginning. Because of you, people who supported our project on Kickstarter and here in Early Access, Basement became possible. For Kickstarter we set the base game price to $8 (we also said that price for released game will be higher). When we started Early Access, more that two years ago, we set the base price to $8.99 and again, we warned all about higher price on release. After all this time Basement organically grew up, got more content and features. We think that it is fair that early adopters get the game cheaper. So, today we want to announce upcoming (in week or so) base price changing to $9.99. Also, we hope you’ve noticed that there was no sales in more than two years. This is not because we are greedy. In fact, if we’ve decided to put Basement on sale we’d get MUCH more money than we have right now. It was conscious decision just because we really appreciate all who trusts and supports us on early stage of development. So, don’t hope to find Basement on sale till the full release.
Regional prices that Steam set by default based on “base price” for CIS and Russia regions are very different. We, are living in Belarus (part of CIS) thinking that this default rule isn’t very fair to CIS where average income for person is the same or even lower in comparison to Russia. So, in addition to changing of the base price, price for CIS and Russia will be equalized.

Basement is a drug-dealing strategy game where you play a scientist who is forced to do illegal stuff in your basement. Actually it’s all about management. You build your own enterprise producing several types of drugs, find the right place to sell them, invite scientists and security, avoid federal agents and build the most effective company.
You start in your own basement. Since the police has no interest in a small dealer, you have the chance to grow. Once your expansion becomes noticeable you’ll be allowed to sell at higher rates, get better workers, upgrade your production and access new technologies. But be careful! This growth will attract the cops. With rapid growth, your enterprise will become fragile. If it survives all the troubles it faces, you will become invincible. Otherwise, you will lose money, workers and respect. While your influence in the city shortens, you risk being imprisoned in the end.
