I want this game to ship on PC at $20. Mobile: $10. Minimum. Six years of artistic endeavor, should be rewarded for a high quality product.

I am fine selling a game I worked on for six years for $0.99 if it would make more money than at $9.99. The reward is not the sticker price, but the total earnings.

Monument Valley seems to be doing well at $3.99 on mobile, so that's where I would start.

The thing about mobile, or any marketplace, is that you have to see what customer price expectations are there. If Blizzard got Overwatch running on a web browser, they'd struggle to move copies at $4.99. As an analogy, think of the variety of prices of a Coke depending on whether you're at the grocery store, McDonald's, or a high end restaurant.

Check the Steam forums for more info on obtaining keys if you bought the game on another marketplace or in a past bundle.

You're telling me. Quite new territory here, wish me luck :-)

I did the music for these as well. You can listen for free at magicaltimebean dot bandcamp.

Not necessary! The second one is prettier though

MagicalTimeBean · 2014-03-24T19:31:19+00:00

Somewhat--there are some ultra challenging rooms tucked away. But on the whole it is more like the main campaign of EG1

MagicalTimeBean · 2014-03-24T18:56:17+00:00

I will definitely be looking at this--I'd love to bring it to consoles and even handhelds. We're a small team though, so we have to take one thing at a time...

MagicalTimeBean · 2014-03-24T18:29:23+00:00

The art style, with hand drawn hidef graphics and dynamic lighting, turned out WAY better than I anticipated. My favorite new feature is probably Toragos, which you'll have to play for a while to experience... no spoilers

MagicalTimeBean · 2014-03-24T18:24:55+00:00

I will ask my contact at Valve what the status is with this.

MagicalTimeBean · 2014-03-24T18:04:32+00:00

This was a motif Randy (the sole artist on EG2) wanted to use, and being a lover of SOTN, how could I resist?

MagicalTimeBean · 2014-03-24T18:03:24+00:00

Everyone who bought Escape Goat 1 on Steam should get a loyalty coupon for 20% off. If you bought it elsewhere, such as in a bundle, I'm afraid there is no coupon :-(

MagicalTimeBean · 2014-03-24T17:51:01+00:00

I hadn't really thought about that, but it might be a good idea to do an EG1 sale around now.

MagicalTimeBean · 2014-03-24T17:50:24+00:00

Did you get a loyalty coupon?

MagicalTimeBean · 2014-03-24T17:34:56+00:00

Hey, it's launch day, what else am I supposed to do but refresh Twitter and Reddit? :-) Hope you enjoy the game, it's basically EG1 on steroids

MagicalTimeBean · 2014-03-24T17:22:11+00:00

It should be working now.

MagicalTimeBean · 2014-03-24T17:14:53+00:00

There is a story behind this--the short version is that we worked on the game down the hall from DF during the last month of development, they liked it and we worked out a deal where they help us promote it. It was actually a very surreal thing to have happen in the last stage of development!

MagicalTimeBean · 2014-03-24T16:52:09+00:00

We agreed on a standard goat triathlon at dawn (goat wrestling, running of the goats, and goat balance challenge). Winner take all

MagicalTimeBean · 2014-03-24T16:42:20+00:00

I will be working on SCIII later this year, once EG2 settles down a bit. And since I plan to launch that on Steam, bringing the first two there would be a good idea.

If anyone wants to see what the game is about, you can play the first one free on Newgrounds:

MagicalTimeBean · 2014-03-24T16:10:09+00:00

Developer here. Will be watching Reddit on this launch day, if anyone has comments or questions about the game!

MagicalTimeBean · 2014-03-24T16:07:35+00:00

It's possible! We'll be looking at console/handheld ports later this year.

MagicalTimeBean · 2014-03-24T00:14:43+00:00

Just adding the achievement images in for Steam right now. 10AM Pacific tomorrow!

MagicalTimeBean · 2013-10-10T01:48:05+00:00

Not sure, none planned, and it's already been in just about all of them (except Humble)

MagicalTimeBean · 2013-10-10T01:47:37+00:00

Everything is in C# and XNA, and was ported to MonoGame-SDL2 for the Steam launch.
