Soooo, first, you didn’t payed for the previous update (0.3.1) 3.75$. You payed 3.50 $. The current one costs (0.4.0) 3.75$. The next one(0.5.0) will cost 4.00$. The next-next one will costs 4.25$, etc. I expect around five more updates for this game, so, yeah. The final update will cost 5$. Finally, you’ll pay(if you bought every update, of course) around 15-16$ for the final product, as much as in steam for that kind of game. BUT! If you’re smart enough, you’ll pay 5$ (suggested price) and if I can understand itch.io’s logic that will give you access to the whole files which are under 5$(yeah, it’s strange that logic).
I hope now it’s clear how is my pricing working.
P.S. finally, I hope you don’t expected the full game costs 3.5$. That will be… will be Underwhelming.
Best regards
