No discounts during Steam Early Access

Hey all,I thought I'd post that we aren't planning any discounts on Duskers while we're in Early Access. I just wanted to get this out there before the Winter Sale so that it was clear.WhyThis started with the launch. Normally many games have a "launch discount" and after discussing it, Holly and I felt that we wanted to leave the price as is. Not only had a bunch of players bought the game prior to our Early Access launch, and we didn't want to (in a way) punish them for supporting us early, but it also felt odd joining in on the "race to the bottom" when Duskers wasn't even complete (Dan Adelman talks a little about this on his blog A nice side effect of this (and Steam's refund policy) is that the community that's built up around the game has been amazing. Instead of tempting people (with discounts) to buy Duskers despite reservations they may have, only those that really wanted the game jumped in. A big part of Early Access for us is feedback, and we're getting a lot of amazing feedback from players that are incredibly invested in the game.I debated it a bit and it just felt odd to already be putting Duskers on sale before we've even launched. It's common practice these days, and maybe it's a bad decision because a discount gets more players talking about the game, and we could use the revenue. I guess in the end making Duskers has been about ignoring conventional wisdom and just doing what I feel is right and this is just another "lets add a command line interface" type decision ;)Thanks for reading/caring,Happy Holidays!- Tim Keenan (Duskers creator guy)
