However, Marhulets called out the apparent hypocrisy of the Epic Game Store for allowing AAA studios a choice which it denied indie developers. When Marhulets inquired about a multi-platform release for DARQ, an Epic Game Store spokesperson said: 'We aren't in a position yet to open the store up for games that simship.'īack in July, Epic Games CEO Tim Sweeney said on Twitter that the pre-order success for Cyberpunk 2077 on GOG was 'more proof that the multi-store future is here now.' But it's a fair price to pay for establishing an ongoing trust between my studio and its customers,' Marhulets explained in a post on Medium. Will I make less money on Steam than I would have by accepting the financial guarantee from the Epic Store? Probably. 'Pulling the game off Steam, especially so close to the release date, would surely make a lot of DARQ fans unhappy.

In late July, a representative from the Epic Game Store contacted Unfold Games to discuss an exclusivity deal, which Marhulets declined.Īs one of the top 50 most wishlisted games on Steam at the time, and having recently confirmed a Steam release date, Marhulets felt it 'would forever ruin the credibility of my studio' to accept the exclusivity arrangement. The studio's first game, DARQ, arrived on Steam last week after three and a half years in development.

I just think the idea of calling every brown person a horrible terrorist and then on November 5th scaring everyone’s pets by celebrating a white terrorist’s failure is stupid. What did that have to do with next week’s game? Nothing, Aven Colony is a sci-fi city-builder. This means next Friday people will be celebrating terrorism in the UK, so remember to give your pets extra cuddles. However, just the same as I’ll talk about something with breathless enthusiasm, I’ll be tired of things I have no interest in, such as “spoopy” horror that jumps out clanging saucepans and telling me I am enjoying a story.Īll this week, you can pick up DARQ: Complete Edition on the Epic Games Store until the morning of the 4th of November. These articles are often just to tell you that something is available and that sometimes includes me excitedly talking about things I’ve played or enjoy the concept of. If I wanted to do that, I could do that in a tweet. Once again, I feel like I have to say this because sometimes it feels like it might be lost in translation: I’m not telling you whether or not to pick up any of the games available via Epic. Maybe it is also that random Q out of nowhere, why the odd spelling? It was a game that was never aimed at me despite being a puzzle game. I don’t appreciate many games lacking this much color either. However, I’ve said it before, I am not someone who enjoys all this “spooky season” nonsense. By all means, I get it, a 2.5D puzzle adventure about a young lad having what seems to be creepy and lucid dreams about the clowns and skeletons marrying on Sunday, or something. If you thought I was quite misanthropic there about this week’s news, you’ve not seen what I have to say about DARQ: Complete Edition on the Epic Games Store this week. Then to wrap up a long week of news, Sony held this month’s State of Play and BlizzCon is much like Activision-Blizzard, not happening.
