Hi everybody! After a couple of days with teases, it is finally time to tell you what we were working on.
DISCOUNT
Firstly, a summer sale discount is on the way. We've originally planned on entering the summer sale discount, starting today. But because of some technical issues on the Steam side, it's delayed slightly. We've already sent a ticket and waiting for a response. Pile Up! will be on a discount as soon as we contact and resolve the issue with Steam. Stay tuned!
We weren't able to start the sale early like other games since Steam needs some time before putting the game on sale after another one. And since Pile Up! was on sale in the release week that deadline just ended.
So when the discount is here. you will be able to buy "Pile Up!" at the cheapest price yet and start building!
UPDATE
Huh? You didn't find it motivating enough? Oh, I see. Then let me say that our first major update "Above the Clouds" will arrive on July 14th!
Hence the name you will build more on top of our brand new island "Noland", you will build more freely with the new building locking system and you will build more and more with the free mode! Go higher!
Also, we know you can't go high enough to pass the clouds if you can't "play" the game. So we fixed bugs, improved optimization, and did some wizardry from place to place. It is still not perfect so we will keep working on these topics as long as the EA goes.
Anyways, you want to learn more about the new update? Then follow our socials to check out our videos and teasers which we will send all week.
Matter of fact, we've been sending a couple of teasers before this update blog. So if you didn't know about this, we recommend you join our discord server. You can find the links from the game's Steam page.
STEAM COLLECTIBLES
Finally, I believe that I convinced you to get the game or play it again. But you see, I am not finished. Because Steam content for Pile Up! is on the way! Trading cards, badges, emotes, backgrounds… They are still getting reviewed by Steam so we can't say when they are coming but we can say they are coming soon. Keep an eye out on our socials.
COMMUNITY EVENTS
Oops, it seems that Steam Content wasn't the final thing. Remember me talking about events and competitions? Well, we are planning to execute those ideas the week after the update on our Discord server. More info will be on our Server next week.
That's all! If you still aren't convinced, tell us why.
Also don't forget to get Pile Up! while it is on sale. Have a wonderful day!
