After a successful previous week with a crazy discounted price on STRIDEN, we’ve decided to extend the sale by another 5 days. Why, you ask? Are we desperate, or as some have commented - is the game so bad that we have to drop the price that much? Not at all.

[p][/p][p]Last week, we decided to reactivate our marketing efforts, which includes social media as well as a few paid collaborations and ads. We want to emphasize once again that we don’t have a big publisher backing us, so we’re currently managing everything on our own. Because of that, our marketing might seem limited, but we promise that we’re working every single day to promote the game.[/p][p][/p][p]We also wanted to test lowering the price drastically to see if it would attract new players. A low, temporary price tag might make some people more willing to give an unknown title a chance. We’ve seen positive results from this, which is why we’ve decided to extend the sale a few more days.[/p][p]After the sale, we’ll also review the original price of the game once we’ve evaluated the results from these two weeks.[/p][p]An example of our marketing push is that our patch trailer has received over 1.4 million views in just one week.
[/p][p][/p][p]We’ve also received great feedback and valuable bug reports from players following last week’s new patch, so today we’re starting work on a hotfix, which we hope to release by the end of the week.[/p][p]Some of the fixes will include an attempt to resolve our VOIP bug, where all teams can hear each other at the start of a match, as well as adjusting our new explosive weapon, the C4, which currently has a bit too strong of an effect on construction items.[/p][p][/p][p]So we’ll keep pushing forward! We’re really happy to see people playing the game during the evenings here in Central Europe. We’re not fully satisfied with the current player count, but we feel that we’re heading in the right direction.[/p][p]Of course, we all know that a very popular first-person shooter is being released this weekend, so we’ll most likely see a drop in our player base for a week or so. However, we’re already planning a new content patch just around the corner, so we can make a similar push again in the not-too-distant future.[/p][p][/p][p]We also wrapped up our community poll on which weapon players want us to work on next. The result was SMR / Rifles, so we’re currently developing a new rifle for the game. Thanks to everyone who voted![/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]Make sure to spread the word about the game while it’s at a really great price, and don’t forget to join our Discord channel![/p][p][/p]
