Over the past week I’ve been emailing back and forth with the OUYA team (mostly Alex, Tim, Jared and Bob) and we’ve figured out that the best day to launch in May is the 20th. This will work perfectly for the sales schedule on the OUYA store and Super Pixalo will be 40% off the full price. That means for opening week, you will only have to pay $2.99 for the full game!
This is my way of thanking all you who have been following the development of this game since last Summer. This will also hopefully help with exposure to those who haven’t heard about Super Pixalo. Also the added 5 days will help me find and destroy any remaining bugs, add an extra layer of polish for launch, and maybe even add extra content.
I know delaying launch 5 days past the original launch date of the 15th may be annoying to some (who likes waiting?) but launching with a discounted price is important to me! I want those of you who purchase the game first to get it for as low as possible.
Here’s what to expect in the next twenty days: at least two brand new promo banners/wallpapers, 1 new gameplay specific trailer, and a modified trailer for the OUYA store, and if I have time a brand new website!
Also I wanted to let you know about one other thing; my wife is due with our first within the next 4 weeks. This means in the next few weeks you won’t hear a whole lot from me (that’s normal though :-]) and there's a possibility I’ll drop off the grid immediately after launch. Just know that any bugs that come up after launch will be addressed as quickly as possible.
Thank you all so much!
