Salvage up and get your stockpile going because we've decided on the release price.

When Flotsam releases next month it will be priced at $24.99 / €22.99 / £19.99 or the regional equivalent!
We'll launch with a 10% discount for a week, after that it's full price.

We're looking into regional pricing as well, more detailed info about that will be available on launch.

Edit: Some more info regarding questions that have been asked:
Why this price?
Looking at similar games in the genre, we feel Flotsam will stand strong among them and decided to adhere a similar price point.
We have plans for a long Early Access period to craft this game to make sure it reaches beyond it's potential of the price tag.
As we've been making Flotsam for almost 5 years with a small team, we worked as hard as possible to create the experience that we currently have and to grow as a team.
To provide the game with what it needs we feel this is a fair price.

What are you getting at release?
A unique townbuilding experience that's replayable with every session being different. Discover the hand-crafted 3D world with your community of stranded drifters by sailing to new areas and investigating landmarks with your boats.

We're opening the game to streamers before release to give everybody a chance to see what the game entails before selling it.
Development on Flotsam will continue for a while, feel free to hold off on buying it until the price feels right.

Thank you!

With the one-two punch of Tropico 6 and then Anno 1800 launching over the last three weeks, plenty have noted that the city-building genre is currently enjoying a spate of urban renewal. Indeed, it s hard to keep up with current releases: as well as these giant games about colonising tropical islands, recent months have seen a string of small-studio hits – Foundation, Islanders, Factory Town and Soviet Republic, to name just a few. Then of course there was Dawn of Man. This neolithic gem from a two-man studio came out of nowhere – like Fred Flintstone climbing, shitfaced, through his window after nine hours at the Ape & Megalith – and ended up briefly conquering Steam.

We re entering an exciting time for games about deciding where to put things, and this is just the start of it: there are dozens of build em ups on the way, and for those of us who ve spent the last twenty years wistfully remembering Caesar III, the horizon is alight with promise.
