Epic Games Store?
« on: December 14, 2018, 12:16:23 AM »
Dear Fractal Softworks, I have a small question to you. Since Epic Games Store has pretty good terms & conditions for indy developers, are you planning to release your game there?

Isn't that store only for games on Unreal Engine?

What's the incentive to go there anyways? The population there all just hug the fortnite. I don't think it has good enough community system to support thriving of indy game.

Since all my mods have poor reputation, I deem my efforts unworthy thus no more updates will be made.

Developers get a much larger split of the sales price. It’s not like it’s exclusive anyway.

Buuut. Standard answer from Alex is usually “I will consider putting the game up on various platforms when it’s done and not before”. So he has a while before he has to make the decision

which is a good call to wait, most steam competitors last a fraction of Starsector's development time lol
