So this is limited to my personal project even though it is near release lol. I'm asking your opinion on the hypothetical release of a game during a big sales event, like the Steam Summer Sales.
So at first I thought it would be a bad idea because if you decide to go commercial (so charge for your game), you would have to release it with a big discount to be on the same level as other games, or release at full price only to have people not buy it because everything else have a big discount. And if you decide to release a free game, people usually browse the store for commercial games during that period because it is a discount period! You can download anytime a free game, but discounts aren't forever.
But then I thought, perhaps it's not that bad to release a game during that period because it's the period when there is the most people shopping around for games. So this is basically the period where you could get the max amount of potential customers.
Note that I didn't take into consideration Steam's search algorithm since I don't really know how it works.
Your thoughts?

That is ok. I know the rest of the Actor 3 Set...
Just beat the last of us 2 last night and starting jedi: fallen order right now, both use unreal engine & when I say i knew 80% of jedi's buttons right away because they were the same buttons as TLOU2 its ridiculous, even the same narrow hallway crawl and barely-made-it jump they do. Unreal Engine is just big budget RPG Maker the way they make games nearly identical at its core lol.
Can someone recommend some fun story-heavy RPGs to me? Coming up with good gameplay is a nightmare! I was thinking of making some gameplay platforming-based, but that doesn't work well in RPG form*. I also was thinking of removing battles, but that would be too much like OneShot. I don't even know how to make good puzzles!
one bad plugin combo later and one of my followers is moonwalking off the screen on his own... I didn't even more yet on the new map lol.
