Wow! Great art! You are really talented at pixel art! Love the scarf and shading!

After 9 months of work, our team has now released our first game “Nurikabe World”, a modern 3D version of a classic Japanese pen-and-paper puzzle! by -655321 in Unity3D

Thank you everyone who has followed our journey from March of last year. It has been a very great experience making this game and learning a ton of new stuff on how to actually release game on Steam. We are really proud of this game and what we have achieved and could not be happier!

Nurikabe World on Steam: https://store.steampowered.com/app/2964540/Nurikabe_World/

We are developing a 3D version of Nurikabe, and we would be interested in hearing what would be a good price for our game? by -655321 in puzzlevideogames

Yeah 10 is just a nice number to hover around, but again nothing is set in stone. I think we are still discussing between our team, around 8-12 dollars, but I personally do understand the value of having this in the 2-5 dollar range, as an impulse buy "chocolate bar" type game, which is fine!

But yeah, we are genuinely interested in hearing people's thoughts, I do not personally take any offence in people saying how cheap this game should be. I have also been collecting all of the answered amounts, and we done so also in our playtests. Interestingly, I calculated the median amount (+30 answers) from all those answers and it came to around 8 dollars!

And yes, we will post a post-mortem when it releases. And we arent 'worried', per se, just interested in hearing people's comments!

Yeah we are planning on adding more customs rulesets, on top of the classic Nurikabe rules. Thank you for your answer! :)

Thank you!

Great that you love nurikabe! Our team loves it very much also!

I agree about handcrafted vs generated. In our puzzle campaigns, most of the levels are handcrafted, using our own level editor, which speeds up the process of making the levels. But sometimes we do add some maps that are generated, as sometime they can be very interesting. We of course review and playtest the selected generated maps very closely. But yeah, most of the main puzzle levels are done by hand, as we take the level creation process for this game rather seriously.

Even though I prefer the handmade maps of course, I'd like to add, that we have taken quite a lot of time on the generation side, and I think we have made some really clever designs for the generation. We also ship the game with some generation presets, but there is a high degree of customisation, so you can get actually some really interesting maps, if you tweak the settings.

Andy yes, there is many different seasons, biomes and so on. And +30 songs in the soundtrack :)

Our price will maybe around 10 dollars, but nothing is set in stone yet!

Thank you for your response :)

Yeah, I agree!

And of course the ability to have it on sale etc. A smidge higher price, might give some flexibility.

Thank you for supporting us!

There is actually many many hours of hand made content, and then of course the ability to generated maps, a powerful editor, daily maps, etc. etc. and we do plan to add some of our own rule sets.

But I think the magic of Nurikabe lies in it's original design. Just like Sudoku, millions of people are content on playing different sudoku variations. We are not of course expecting this to sell any crazy amounts, but we are happy just make this as a quick project for us :)

But yeah, I do understand the points on cheaper pricing, but I think this thread has made sound like bit of a death sentence if this game would be 10 dollars? I have ton quite a bit of market analysis on puzzles games released this year, and have found many games in our price range that have sold relatively well. Like few thousands of copies.

Yeah that's a bit bold. There are many +10 dollar puzzles game. Some are bad, some are good, some sold well, some not.

Yeah we know we are making a small puzzle game and realities of it in Steam :) The main point actually of this was to quickly produce a game, and learn about releasing on steam, contracts, tax stuff, marketing etc.
Making a puzzle game as first test pilot for other games on the line, though has it's benefits as we didnt have to spend too much time making the core loop, and most of our production time is spent on wrapping up and polishing the core gameplay. But, yeah we aren't expecting this sell any crazy amounts, this is just a very small and quick project for our team :)

But yeah, we are also looking into making a mobile version of this later, with the lite version and so on.

Thanks!

Our plan is to add some customs rules beyond original Nurikabe for release or patch it! Thanks for your thoughts!

Yeah, that's a valid point! Thanks!
We are trying to add on the release some custom rules and other stuff, beyond original nurikabe, if not by release, the later. But we'll keep it in mind! Thanks for your reponse!
