Howdy Scientists! It's official, WoMen in Science will be released on March 16th! The feedback I received is very positive, despite a few very annoying bugs that I still have to correct before the release. A big thank you to the testers and youtubers who gave me their comments, it is a precious help for me. Deciding on the price of a game is far from simple. You want the game to be played by as many people as possible, but the economic model must also be viable to ensure that you can continue to develop it. You need to take into account that Valve will take a 30% cut, another 30% in taxes, then you have to pay for the software you use, contractors, advertising if you can afford it, ... I chose to set the price 30% lower than my goal during the Early Access period, to reflect the fact that the game still needs many updates to be complete. That puts the price at $13.99 for the US and Europe markets. The advantage is that it is a price that seems reasonable to me, the flaw is that it will limit my ability to make significant discounts. However, there will be an additional 10% reduction during launch week as a thank you to all my day 1 supporters =)
