Thanks for the replys and suggestions! I'm sure we'll do bundles at some point.

The steam edition has expanded resolution support with a minimum resolution of 1280 x 768 (the retail one was fixed 1280x800 which was stupid, but 1366x768 resolution wasn't really a thing back then), achievements and trading cards, but that's not really enough to buy it again. On the other hand, the retail sales were so bad at the time that I don't think many people own the game yet anyway. Well it was a popular torrent at least.

Youtube and twitch are a double edged sword for linear story games... When you have seen the story once, would you still buy it and play again? So I think they may even hurt the sales for a game like this in the worst case, but we have done them, and some more are coming out.

Hi! Thanks for the invite to the group!

We just released Alpha Polaris on Steam.

More about the project can be learned from this post-mortem / making of we posted on reddit yesterday.

So far the sales seem really really low for the first 7 hours. America is still sleeping but still, it's ridiculously low. We have tried to be visible on facebook, twitter, reddit, youtube, tumblr, sending a press release through a service and also contacting steam curators, but it seems that a game this niche just wont spread. Especially when it's a re-release. It's genuinely a good, well executed game if you're a fan of the genre, but man this is hard.

Do you have any tips what more we could do at this point? Or do you spot any mistakes on our steam page? Anyone can offer help? Or do we just wait for the big sales and lower the price -50% or -75% then?
