Dear players, Yesterday we launched Youtubers Life, a game which had been in Early Access since last May the 18th. First of all, thanks again to all our Early Access supporters, this has been a dream come true and we couldn’t have done this without you. Thank you too for the wonderful reception and the congratulations, they mean the world to us. We read all the reviews and comments, positive and negative, and we feel that we need to further explain some key points and our future development roadmap Why did we get Youtubers Life out of Early Access? Getting out of EA for us means that we’re happy with the state of the game as it is right now. Since it’s EA launch, we’ve gotten Youtubers Life to levels of stability and game maturity that we feel are worth calling Youtubers Life a full game. Fully releasing the game also has other implications. It increases diffusion: there are many media outlets that don’t review Early Access games, for example, and lots of people are not keen on purchasing EA titles. Other platforms We’ve always wanted to release Youtubers Life on every available platform. Steam has been a phenomenal springboard and, if you’ve stuck around the forums during this last 9 months, we’ve always relied on community input to improve the game, having a constant two-way communication with our player base. Look at the last update [0.9.3], for example, the most popular requests condensed in a User Experience improvement that’s brought new life to the game. The console versions are past due time, they deserve to enjoy Youtubers Life too, but we needed the stability of a full release-worthy game in order to commit to finish development for consoles and other platforms. Further development Coming out of Early Access doesn’t mean we’ve stopped developing Youtubers Life. In fact, console development will bring controller support and any new feature we implement to the Steam version too. The core game is cross-platform. This means that we’ll continue improving the game as we work on other versions too. More content will come your way, although not in the short term. Our will is to develop the initially thought channels as free DLCs, and we’ve got other exciting ideas for the future too. We’d like you to see Youtubers Life Full Release launch as a kid that just turned 18: it’s reached maturity, but its real life has just begun. The best is yet to come! The impact of the Music and Cooking Channels The decision to postpone new channel development for the moment being relies on several factors

• The launch of the new channels didn’t improve the user experience as much as we’d hoped. Studying player statistics we can see that more than half of the new games that start everyday belong to the gaming channel.
• We want to take our time to bring an exciting new channel that will be meaningful enough, and powerful as a standalone and significant slice of Youtubers Life. We’d never satisfied releasing sub-par content.
