At the top of page 2 of this thread, the price quoted is $10. It may or may not have changed since then (I'm not a part of the dev team).

Looking at your 'Dev Logs' I was pleasantly surprised at how deep the sim seems to be. I really think this will do well when it is released and it's refreshing to see something a little bit different being made.

Hey guys, it's been awhile since I posted an update, so to catch you up on recent developments:

We have a Steam page! You can add the game to your wishlist or follow the game on Steam to get notified when it releases later this year.

We're getting really close to being complete in terms of gameplay features; the main things to be added at this point besides balancing the game are art assets and more written scenarios for the player to explore. We already have about 75% of the artwork that we'd need minimally, but we'd certainly like to include more if we can. We've posted several videos to the Steam page that showcase the features we currently have implemented, so be sure to give them a watch if you'd like to see some gameplay footage.

Also, regarding the price, back in 2016 I had posted that $10 was our intended price point. The game's scope has increased quite a lot since that point, both in terms of the amount of content and gameplay features on offer and the amount of polish we're putting into it, so the launch price will be closer to $15. I hope this increase isn't a dealbreaker for anyone, we're really happy with the current state of the game and I think that once it's out people will be satisfied with the value they're getting for the price.
