Infinity
Status Update
We believe in quality design, and meaningful gameplay experiences. As time goes on, and we all move on to bigger and better things, we look back at the first public release of a product we had developed. Infinity was a wild ride, and taught everybody involved how managing a game really works. Throughout the course of the support cycle, we implemented several bug fixes, optimizations, and game design alterations. However, everything must come to an end at some point. Today we’re announcing the official retirement of Infinity from the Steam store.
This has been an ongoing discussion with all parties involved for quite some time. Now that we have been given the opportunity, we have decided to take it. The retirement of Infinity is far more personal, than financial.
If you currently own Infinity, you will still be able to play the game at your own leisure. This means even if you uninstalled the game, if it's still present within your Steam library, you can always reinstall and play. This retirement process will remove the game from Steam search, and Infinity will no longer be available for purchase.
We would like to thank each and every one of you for your continuous support, and direct feedback. Thank you for helping make Infinity a better experience, and we hope that it scratched that itch for a truly challenging platformer that holds no punches.
Thank you players!
Sincerely, the Infinity team.
