The time has finally come where I can say Three Days is finished or to a point so close that only small fixes will rarely be needed. My plan is to continue updating all the small things people find but this is the full release.
Here is the Full release fix list:
Fixed achievements steam API now constant
Got a valid wiki setup ready for editing
Fixed difficulty listings switching from Boolean eg. Godmode = False,No
Finish gorepixelgames site ready for full release.
Fixed change log issues
Added twitter icon on start screen
Balanced level up system a bit. reduced rock values to 70XP
Scaling issues fixed
Fixed text on difficulty centring to side of box.
Added version number to start screen
Fixed god mode difficulty reading easy on difficulty screen
Fixed death animation being to small for water death
Fixed options menu to be more neat. GUI + organisation
Centred pause menu
Fixed clouds /birds overlaying on options menus
Fixed Start screen guy overlaying
Fixed easy mode health going above 120
Various misc Fixes
Note: There may be one patch in the next 24 hours as I cant fully test achievements until it is uploaded.
And we are done!
Thankyou very much everyone for your continued support up to this point its been just over a year since Three Days was released into early access, I hope you all stick around for future games.

Thanks to everyone who helped iron out the final touches by playing the game and letting me know whats needed for this final push.

1).Fix changelog issues.
2).Fix for button increasing in size on startscreen
3).Fix the link for the wikia page.
4).Finish gorepixelgames.co.uk ready for full release
5).Fix difficulty listings switching from boolean eg. Godmode = False, No
6).Fix text on difficulty centering to side of box.
7).Fix Intro cutscene conversations moving too fast
8).Fix Main Menu song replaying every time you enter main menu from any other menu.
9).Fix scaling issues when resizing windows (in tutorial page)
10).Balence level up system a bit.
+ Any other fixes needed along the way.
So this is the final list of fixes for ThreeDays which i have put a deadline of June 2nd which is the date of the norwich game festival in which i will be attending with threeDays and hopefully some of my new project "The Lights Descent"
Which you can follow along with the progress on twitter: https://twitter.com/GorePixelGames

Its Been A While... Thankyou.
Hi everyone,
Its been a while...
A massive thankyou if your still following me and checking my games out, its come to my attention that ive not done anything on three days for quite some time and thats not great :L.
Its been a weird start to the year and all, ive really been lost with game design recently and have just layed back and relaxed along with working towards other things outside of Game design such as certifications for my day job.
So here is my proposal to get out of this rutt i will be developing ThreeDays solid for the next month hopefully ironing out most of the minor issues and finally fully releasing the game.
I hope from then to start a new bigger project and get Back on track,
Thankyou to everyone for your patience with this, and cheers for understanding that i just do this as a hobby.
Ps. if you have any issues with ThreeDays be that bugs or gameplay, now is the time to point it all out.
Lueshie,

The Silence and the Future.
Hey All,
Just wanted to post this announcement to let everyone know what's been going on.
pretty much been working on the sequel for the last few weeks to get my foot in the ground with that, however there is a good reason why i have done this.
As some of you may know the steam user reviews system has changed weather you think this is for the good or bad, i personally feel that it was a bad move as it did remove 20 out of my 23 reviews, pulling Three Days down to a mixed. I was quite cross with the changes because of all the work i had put into promoting and making the game and the way it has been implemented is in my opinion pretty shoddy. The reason i say this is because a lot of the reviews i had came from various sources, Beta testers, who i value there opinions greatly and are critically honest to me, People who i dont even know have posted reviews and had them removed just because they where not bought directly from steam. Why is this bad you ask?
Well here is a breakdown of where my game is distributed:
Steam (Obviously)
Indiegala
Groupees
Donations to charity livestreams
Keys to meetup groups as a generous donation
a few giveaways (Youtubers, reviewers)
and other distribution points.
The system that steam claims people are abusing is affecting honest developers who dont cheat the system, all my reviews i have received have either been from reviewers who i dont know, kind friends who decided to support me and wrote what they thought (Including a negative review) and others who have bought the game on a third party website.
And before anyone comments about "Oh well you going to get a fair reviews on your game now" not really because 2 of the 3 negative reviews where removed from the overall score and 18 of the positives.
Dont get me wrong im not after the score for Three Days , im just after the feedback for other players which makes it hard to sift through with the new system and doesnt give an overall perspective on my game.
So overall i will be getting back to making Three Days however i feel like this will be the last update in Early access as i can feel the game coming to a point where im getting very little feedback. And feedback i am getting is just not possible to implement and will weigh the game down. I will continue to update after we are out of early access it's just i want to move on to the sequel.
On a side note you will be able to get Three Days for a reduced price 66% off for 5 days on October 6th.
Any questions you may have please post below.
Many Thanks for reading, and the continued support from individuals with the project.

Reviews
Hi All,
Just a quick message to see if anyone would be willing to write a review on the storepage (Positive or negative). The reason for this is so that i can get a gauge of what is good about the game and what can be improve or removed also the overall reaction of the game to everyone, so far we have mainly positive reviews which is great ! However if you havent posted a review yet it would be much appreciated weather that review be negative or positive. All feedback helps me see exactly what i need to work on as a developer and what people enjoyed. If you dont want to do a review but still want to help a comment below or a disscussion/ question would be great.
Thankyou to everyone so far who has bought the game and supported me throughout the project. I hope you have all enjoyed it up to this point and i will be working actively to improve the game , the next update should be out within the next 2-3 weeks.
Many thanks,
Lewis Bergin.
