First of all, we want to thank all of you who played Remnants of Isolation. It really means a lot to us!

We've been working with Degica, a digital distribution group, for the past couple of months to decide on a course of action for the game. We've finally laid out a rough plan for the future, and we wanted to share the highlights with you. Let's get the big one out of the way first:


Remnants of Isolation is going commercial!

Yep. The game is going to go on sale. We're in the process of polishing things up to make it extra-nice for the internet shelves, including:


Custom assets! No RTP for the commercial version.

We have been given 20 hours of free commission work, and we intend to use every minute of it! Tilesets, music, etc. will be made, so the game will have a much more unique look and feel than before. You will also be happy to hear that Sooz will draw new monster battlers for every enemy!

So what does this mean for the versions available for download now? Well, not to worry:


The contest build and Deluxe version will both be available for download even after the game goes on sale!


This was something we were nervous about the most. I was really wanting to keep at least the contest build up to show the result of one month of hard, hard work that we went through. Thankfully, Degica says that the current versions available will be great promotion for the commercial version, so they practically encouraged us to keep them up!




This pretty much covers the big points we had to talk about. Everything else is backstage, business stuff that isn't really important to you. I also want to mention that, right now, there are no hard dates set. We're still sorting out quite a lot of details behind the scenes, so we just have a rough outlines planned out. But when we do have something set in stone, we'll be sure to let you know.

Thanks for reading!

Wow, that is a big step. I hope you go all the way, Nova! Going commercial is also a dream of mine one day ( not for any of my current games, though ).
Oh hey that's really awesome! If anyone deserves it, it's you guys! RoI is an awesome game especially considering the period of time you had to make it in.

Interesting. It sounds like you have a lot of work lying ahead of you now. I don't know if I would have done it if I were in your place, but I wish you all the good luck nonetheless.

Geeze, I would never attempt anything like this! Saying that, for what it's worth, you have my support!

As a member of the project, I'd like to say that I never in my wildest dreams had going commercial as a game-making goal. Currently, it's just a hobby that I'm very passionate about. However, having a chance to see something I worked on go on Steam and possibly other mainstream venues is just too much to pass up, especially when the people who made the contest are helping us facilitate it, so I thought it was well worth a shot!

As for other RPGs, I don't have plans to go commercial with anything I'm working on now. They will of course remain free to play ^_^

A huge thanks to everyone for your kind words and your support. You make Game Making all worth it! :DDDD
