Acclaimed roguelike studio behind Slay the Spire releases new deckbuilder after publicly abandoning Unity over fee debacle

Strong-arming your customers is a terrible strategy in the long term. You're counting on your customers staying not because they like your product, but because they have no better choice available, or the switching cost is too great, so they're forced to stay. This can get you extra short term profit but almost ensures long-term doom. Your customer is going to drop you like a rock at the first opportunity, and eventually that opportunity will always come.

They've been working on a new game ever since Spire stopped getting regular updates. The project was in Unity though and this little dancing game was a three-week "jam" game so that Mega Crit could try out the Godot engine and see if it was a viable alternative to Unity for their next real project. Turns out they do like Godot and have ported their in-progress game from Unity to Godot and can now continue development!
