I understand the decision and enjoy it since the political side had always been mucked up, I do, however, wonder...will previous owners on steam/itchio get a discount for the next project? I don't mind supporting you on principle, but it is sad to have supported and now end up with an abandoned product, albeit one that is semi content complete.
That's definitely something I've considered and am discussing with my advisors about. I feel Shadows 2 reached a logical end to its development cycle, with all the features we wanted to put in being in, but it was a hard decision to stop adding to it.
A lot of stuff needs to be decided financially, regading pricing and discount packages, and I'm having meetings and discussions with actually professional game-devs and marketing people (since I've got no real experience in these things myself).
