CleanWaterSoft is finally dropping support for English and other languages for both Porradaria Upgrade and Porradaria 2: Pagode of the Night on Steam.
Since the past year that we are focusing only in the local market for new games and DLCs releases, and now we are also extending this for old products.
So, in order to give a better local support to our Brazilian customers, we will be supporting only the Brazilian Portuguese language from now on, for all of our products available on Steam.
This means that from now on:
Store pages' descriptions will be available only in Brazilian Portuguese;
News and official announcements will be only in Brazilian Portuguese (unless deemed necessary);
Relevant updates for these games will be available only in Brazilian Portuguese.
If you purchased these games before this change, you still can have access to the "last multi-language version" through the "beta tab" in the Steam client.
If you need technical support, you still may use the Suporte Técnico boards on Steam, but your demand must be at least in English language.
Thanks for your ever support, my work is for you!
Best regards,
The Developer
Porradaria Fan Pack is now Live!
Hi everyone!
As previously announced past month, the Porradaria 3 in 1 bundle was replaced by the new Porradaria Fan Pack.
However, with the release of new DLCs for Porradaria Upgrade and Porradaria 2: Pagode of the Night, this bundle will be removed in the next month, to give place to a new bundle, now called "Porradaria Fan Pack".

Bundle Kings Scam
Hi everyone!
All the games from Cleanwatersoft stopped being sold on bundles since the past year, but since the past week, the Bundle Kings is selling this bundle below with both Porradaria included.
https://www.bundlekings.com
However, I never allowed this bundle to happen. I contacted them about this matter, they didn't replied me, instead, they started another bundle, now with Porradaria 2 - Vladmirson DLC also included.
https://www.bundlekings.com/bonus-bundle.html
After a extensive investigation of my own, I found from where they got those keys. It was from an old give away I promoted, with the help of appaboss7 in 2017, to disclose Cleanwatersoft's Facebook page.
All these keys were labelled as "promo", and since the past week, the activation of keys with this label raised greatly.
For this reason, all the keys labelled as promo will be revoked.
To not harm those that legitimately activated these keys on the give away, or that spent their money on this bundle before this announcement, only the keys that are not activated yet will be revoked.
Since the past year that I decided to not sell any game on bundles anymore, so any game being sold out of Steam, is being sold without my consent.
Here, the bundle promoter is asking you to "help give support to these indie developers". If you really want to give support to Cleanwatersoft, follow us on Steam to stay in touch with our discounts and new releases, and only purchase our games directly on Steam from now on.
Here's the email I sent to bundlekings@gmail.com. I used my personal email from official cleanwatersoft.com domain, it also was redirected to my gmail inbox.
I also sent this very same message through their contact form in their site one day before sending this email.

Porradaria 3 in 1 - Complete NOW Your Collection!!!
Hello everyone!
I'm glad to announce that Porradaria 3 in 1 Steam Bundle is finally live.
This bundle is in the complete collection model. And it contains:
Porradaria Upgrade
Porradaria 2: Pagode of the Night
Porradaria 2 Vladmirson DLC
It means that you can purchase all these games in a row with 66% OFF, and if you already own any of these games, you also earn 66% OFF to complete the collection!!!
Ins't it great?
You don't need to expect for any sales anymore to complete your collection.
As you might have heard of, Valve will replace the old Steam Greenlight system with a new one, the Steam Direct. Developers will have to pay for each game they publish on Steam Store from now on.
Right now Valve is considering a fee between $100 and $5.000 for each game. Depending on the outcome of it, Porradaria 3 might not be released on Steam Store, and I will explain why.
The Company
CleanWaterSoft is a small company from Brazil, the only person working on it right now is the own founder (me). The budget of the company is really low, thus, the source income of the company is also low.
Porradaria Upgrade, the first commercial release, was developed literally with zero budget. It was developed with the lite version of Game Maker 8, with watermark and all. The first game income was what paid the pro version of Game Maker 8 + the Steam Greenlight fee.
Budget directly affects the sales of a game, hypocrisy would be to say it doesn't. A big budget means a big development team, a more polished product, a big marketing campaign... All of this directly affects any game overall sale, from a small indie from a AAA blockbuster.
The Competition
It's not impossible for an indie game to become a hit and the developer become a millionaire from night to day. There's a lot of good indie games with low budget being released every day, but only a few have the luck of being noticed to become a hit. Most of them becomes hidden and very well buried gems nowadays.
I won't say my games are hidden jewels, it's up to you to decide, but surely, they are a niche of a niche games, with not enough fans to make them be released on Steam Greenlight within two days.
Economics
Brazil is not a well developed country like United States of America, $1 dollar here is equal to R$3,20 reais (our currency). There's a lot of differences between our economics.
The minimum suggested fee of $100 dollars would be R$320 reais, which is about half of the salary the common worker get paid here. The maximum fee of $5.000 would be half the price of a new car here.
There's a joke I saw on internet another day I believe that illustrates well the economic differences.
USA President, in a speech says:
"The American citizen earns $2.000 dollars per month, needs $1.000 to live and what they do with the remaining of their money is none of our concern."
Brazil's President, in a speech says:
"The Brazilian citizen earns R$880 reais per month, needs R$2.000 to live and how they earn the remaining of this money is none of our concern."
Conclusion
It is still too soon to say anything, however, depending on how Valve will implement Steam Direct, not only Porradaria 3, but any other CleanWaterSoft game won't be released on Steam Store from now on.
I know there's a lot of persons here eager to play this last sequel of our dear Ninja, so I had to post an explanation here of why it probably won't be released on Steam Store. I hope you understand.
Thanks for your ever support, my work is for you!

Vladmirson DLC Released!!!
Hi everyone!
I'm glad to announce that the Vladmirson DLC is finally being released today!
I'm sorry for the two weeks delay. This DLC took much work to be finished. It's not another lame "expensive skin DLC" like we see in tons nowadays, but a fresh new content with a new storyline, new unlockable extras, new bosses, new spells and skills.
This DLC was developed with my own soul, and I hope you enjoy it as much as I enjoyed developing it.
