Hello, fighters!
Today we have very important news. Will To Live Online becomes free since the 07th of November 2019.
Our independent indie team has been working hard on our game, publishing new updates and improving gameplay, almost for two years since the first alpha-version build was released.
Our goal is to make Will To Live if not the best, but one of the best post-apocalyptic games from CIS. And we believe that we do everything well to reach it. And we are targeted to continue our work in this direction and further!
Initially, we tried to make a game that was loyal to the player in terms of the economy and did not force the player to constantly think about pressing problems in the game. We think, that we should continue keeping this way in the future, even after changing the distribution model. However, it should be understood that some things in the game will be changed. We believe that a pay-to-win system, as it often happens to other projects, is unacceptable in our game.
Instead of it, we are going to move our Item Shop from Steam into the game, which allows us to make it more comfortable and extend character customization options, and also we will offer various solutions that increase player comfort. All items which were bought before will stay with players. Anyway, we will extend our possibilities for monetization, since it will be the only source of our revenue.
BONUSES
Sure, we want to reward our players, who support us in Early Access. Everyone who paid full price until the 7th of November 2019 will receive some bonuses!
A possibility to create few characters for free will not be disabled on your accounts. “Free-to-play” players will able to create only one character for free.
When we will introduce the new in-game shop, you will receive a special currency - credits. The amount of these credits will be equal to the game price by its cost. Using these credits, you can buy items in the new in-game shop.
Postscriptum
Dear community! We would like to convey to you one more important thought, which seems to us obvious and correct. Each game developer wishes to his game the only one thing: that it lives and develops confidently. Nobody, who in their right mind, will do deliberately the game “worsen”, “spoil”, etc. We in this regard, of course, are no exception!
As each developer, we love our project, and we appreciate the support from our community!
However, on bare enthusiasm and altruism projects cannot develop indefinitely. Trite: renting a server costs money, not to mention the rest. We will try to do everything to make our project develops further.
A new era of Will To Live Online history has begun. We wish you (and to us too) luck in this!
By agreement with Steam specialists, our game should switch to a free-to-play model on November 7, 2019, at about 05:30 in Moscow time.
Regards, WTLOnline Team
