Discounty News

Attention, shoppers!

Good news: Discounty is now officially Steam Deck Verified! ✅

We've been testing Discounty on Steam Deck for months, and put a lot of effort toward making it a smooth experience. It looks like that's paid off, and we're super happy to have been Verified before launch!

Isn't it beautiful?

For all our fellow Steam Deck players out there, we hope you enjoy checking customers out, stocking shelves, and starting drama -- on the go!

Hello shoppers!

Things are really exciting here at Crinkle Cut, because Discounty is FINALLY launching in less than one month.

Well, let's get into it before I start screaming. 😱 This is a condensed version of our July email newsletter. Make sure to subscribe to our newsletter for the full version — new subscribers get the latest issue in their inbox! Here are the highlights:

[h2]💸 Price Announcement[/h2]
A lot of you have been waiting on this news. We can finally give you an anwser:

Discounty will cost $19.99 USD on Steam (or your equivalent local price!).

But it wouldn't be Discounty without a discount! There be a 20% launch discount on Steam for two weeks. That means you can get Discounty for under 16 bucks! Wow!


We're offering a big discount in the hope that lots of people can finally play our game right away. We know some of you have been waiting over two years for this game to come out. Plus, the more early support we get, the more likely we'll be able to continue supporting Discounty and bringing you more content. Thanks for being along with us on this ride. 🙏

[h2]✅ Demo Patch![/h2]
We wrote about this previously on Steam, but in case you missed it: we released a big patch for our demo on Steam, adding Japanese, Korean, and Simplified & Traditional Chinese, lots of decorative items, faster running, and more requests from our community! You can check out the patch notes here.

[h2]🦝 Discord Meme Contest[/h2]
Since we announced our Discord server in our last newsletter, our community has quickly grown to over 750 members! We want to keep that community growing by offering lots of activities, so here's our next Employee of the Month challenge: a meme contest!

The rules are simple: make a meme about Discounty, we'll choose our favorites, and the community will choose a winner.

You can find the full rules in our server: join the Discord.

That's it for this month's dev update! If you want to read more, make sure to sign up for the newsletter here. Thanks for reading, and see you in August!
