Announcement
Good evening, Crew! First of all: thanks to everyone of you who is supporting us and playing our game. Without your bug finding skills our progress would be much slower!
On another note we want to inform you that we decided to lower the base price of the game. A few of you already told us to do so and after long consideration we decided to do so. Hopefully the lower price will attract more active players and fill the empty ships with life. The necessary information was send into verification in Steam today, so it'll be a few days until the change is live.
We apologize in front of everyone who paid the higher price and ask for your forgiveness. You've done the first step in making DARCO come closer to the vision we have of it. Lowering the price was the necessary step though, so we can keep developing and make your investment worth a while! We really hope you can understand our decision and wish you a pleasant Monday nevertheless.
