Free EXPANSION October 12th
Good day!
The huge The British are COMING! update is coming to you October 12th, free of charge. Not only that, but the update is now an EXPANSION!
What does that mean? Well, not terribly much. Just that the amount of content we've been working on for the past year is so significant, we decided that calling it an expansion was more appropriate.
Expect to see extensive patch notes next week. But stick around if you want a little peek behind the curtain of development.
You might also be asking yourself, why is this expansion free? You'd be right to ask that. This expansion is easily a $10 DLC. Honestly, it's equal parts guilt and strategy.
We were aiming to finish this update... about a year ago. Pandemics are a hell of a thing - And with that extra time, came a lot of feature creep. So while, yes, you've all had to wait, there is much much more meat to the update expansion than originally planned. So being late makes me feel bad about charging for it. And yes, 100% of our fans have said they would gladly pay for more content... but that leads into my other reason for making this expansion free.
Sales have been good but not strong enough for me to nickle-and-dime our existing fans. I'd rather foster goodwill, and hope that you all will want to help spread the word about the game, to reach new fans. Plus, with my experience in DLC on Organ Trail, I find that it can fracture the audience. I'm not against expansions or anything, it just doesn't really align with the vision I've had for Max Gentlemen Sexy Business! As a solo dev, it's easier for me to think of MGSB as a single product that is the best it can be for all players, new and old.
If you'd like to help, leaving a positive steam review is a GREAT way to support us. Really, it helps more than you'd think.
If you're still excited and want to find some like-minded gentlepeople, I recommend dropping by our Discord! https://discord.gg/Baj5dp2
Anyhow. I hope you will all enjoy what we've made for you. See you next week.
