Upcoming Price Increase
[h2]Greetings Travellers![/h2]
The time has come... as I approach closer to Version 1.0 of Tales from The Dancing Moon I wanted to give a little heads up about an upcoming price increase - on 19 May, 2025 I will be increasing the game's price to Ā£14.99 / $17.99.
No one likes to be the bearer of bad news, but as stated on the Early Access details on the store page - the price was always going to adjust to a cost more appropriate for this type of game with the amount of content developed by a solo developer (me!).
This is the only price change I have planned for the game, and you can still take advantage of the various sales applied to the game in the future.
Which brings me onto my next announcement...
[h2]Pre-Release Sale: 60% OFF![/h2]
Up until the price update, the game will be on it's lowest ever offer of 60% OFF - just Ā£3.99 / $4.99!
Make sure to take advantage of this offer as you'll obtain the Early Access version to play right now, and will receive the 1.0 update once it releases (more details on the version 1.0 in a separate news post soon!).
As soon as this sale finishes, the price of the game will be updated to the new price.
[h2]Justifying the change[/h2]
Version 1.0 is coming soon, but not only that - Tales from The Dancing Moon has received a ton of free updates over the course of the Early Access period.
So much love and care has gone into this game over the last 1.5 years to make it as feature rich and bug free as possible. Even in it's current state I honestly think that calling it an Early Access is giving it a bit of a disservice. The reality is that I've been happy with the game for quite some time now, and I think it's time to put it on the path out of Early Access!
The price change reflects all of this past content AND the new content Version 1.0 will bring.
As a reminder, here are all the updates that found it's way in during the Early Access period, some of which is a direct result of player feedback!
š² Procedural Dungeons
š® Steamdeck Verified
š A new mysterious quest arc
š¹ Archery Gameplay with elemental arrow types.
š¤ Enhanced Marketplace Gameplay

šļø A multitude of buildable items.

š Tons of bug fixes and quality-of-life improvements.
ā New achievements
There were many more, but those were my personal highlights! āØ
I can't express my thanks enough to the players who have stuck with this game since it released into Early Access over a year ago. The main reason I've kept working on it as much as I have done is because of you. Every time a new review arrives on the Store page my heart skips a beat as I eagerly read them, and I'm reassured by the fact it has managed to retain a Positive score all this time!
That is all for this post. Look out very soon for further details on the Version 1.0 update! šš»š
