Hey guys, we’ve been silent for a while. It’s about time we gave you an update on the current status. In our last update we spoke about finding a publisher for the game. Because as it stands, we don’t have the resources to finish the game. When we started development on IRW we had a vision in mind for what the final version of the game should be. This version would include stuff like online multiplayer, a single player story, customisable cars and a lot more. To get to that point we need at least 8 months of full-time development. Now we both aren’t college students anymore, we’ve got used to a monthly salary and accompanying monthly costs. So for these 8 months we need the help of a publisher or an investor. At this point I think it’s pretty safe to say we weren’t able to secure that help. We’ve talked to nearly every publisher you can think of, event went to Gamescom for that reason (thanks to Stimuleringsfonds, DGA & DGG ;)). The general consensus was we should’ve talked to them before releasing the game on Early Access. I guess the you have one release moment is true after all :). Just to be completely open here, let’s share some numbers. At the point of writing we’ve sold 385 units. Because of steam sales and varying currency values that comes down to roughly $2,513. Now consider that we’ve both put at least 4 months into the game. As a company we’re looking at a bleak situation. We can’t really justify spending more time on the current 8 month plan for IRW. So yeah 8 months is a lot of money, money we don’t have and won’t get. At the moment we’re working on a plan to condense that 8 month plan into a 1 month plan. A final development stretch as you will. That final plan we’re working on is going to change the game in a big way. It’s probably going to change the game in ways some might not appreciate. The only investors we’ve got are you guys. We really appreciate you guys bought the game in Early Access and supported us. We want to give you guys a great game, an awesome experience you’ll never forget. Currently we’re standing still though, so we need to do something to keep moving forward.
TurtleBlaze, Benjamin and I. We want to thank you and ask you for your understanding. We haven’t quit, we’re just moving very slowly at the moment.
