as we approach full release within the next few months I wanted to inform others that the game wouldn’t be free anymore.
i’m not really sure how itch.io works, i think if you’ve already downloaded prior to the pricing change then you keep it for free? I could be wrong. last few days i’ve been setting up the steam store, it’s been a few years so i don’t quite remember how i did it last time.
given this game is quite longer than it’s predecessor, probably 3-4x as long, i think average play time is about 10-15 hours. probably much more if you’d like to see everything. there’s well over 300 different scenes in game and i believe right now 240 ish floors. i plan to price it between 10-13$. Im still working on adding the second ending, though it’s almost done. i think even after release i would like to continue updating and adding things to the game. i had that aspiration with my prior work but it wasn’t really setup in away where that was feasible. the random nature of DST allows for this very easily, but i also would like to start grander projects in a more traditional game engine.
if you donated prior feel free to message me once the steam release comes out, i will send you a steam key!

So are you planning a simultaneous Steam and Itch release or is Steam coming later?
I implore you, as soon as you can, release a physical version of DST, perhaps collaborating with limited run or others to do so, And please...before releasing the game make sure you optimize it as much as possible, both in terms of performance (it's a complete piece of shit, sorry but yes.....the performances are terrible) but also in terms of memory (making sure not to leave junk files) thanks again for producing this particular game
I won't optimize it, it is an rpg maker game. nothing can be done other than wait for MZ3d to update and move onto projects outside of this engine.
one of best games i ever bought, the element of the surreal is simply beautifully unexplainable and masterfully crafted, will buy once it's on full release :D
One of the best gaming experiences I've ever had! I can't wait for more and wish you the best of luck with your upcoming games.

I really do love this game, I look forward to a more complete (and priced) experience.
p.s you could charge literally any amount and I would still buy it
yours faithfully,
