hey y'all, denny here! if you've been paying attention to our socials you might already know we're planning on reducing the total cost of each season of cool kid cody! we're going to start implementing that on the itch version of the game too, but i wanted to give y'all a weeks notice in case you wanted to update your games to this latest version (doing so wil get you a special badge rewarded to those who paid in full). read on to learn more!

• the cost of seasons 1 and 2 will be reduced by about $3 on itch on june 21th!
• as a token of our appreciation to those who paid full price, you've been awarded the prestigious “#1 ckc fan badge” on the main menu of your game! yes, you alone, if you’re reading this and paid in full, you are the #1 fan. don’t tell anyone else. the badge changes depending on whether you'd paid for season 1 or 2. all you have to do is launch the game (this latest version, 3.28) and the badge will become a part of your game!
• the badge is tied to your persistent file located in the games/saves folder. save it if you don't want to lose it (or any other saves/persistent data for that matter).

that’s the main stuff, but if you wanna see me rambling a little more, read on!

we decided to lower the price for a few reasons: i felt bad about all three seasons culminating to a total cost of $43ish USD (and that’s WITH the 20% discount from bundling). when i’d originally priced things i was going off of how we priced our other game, purrfect apawcalypse 3, which was $6.99 USD. divided by its 3.5 distinct “levels”, i thought $1.99 per episode of cool kid cody felt fair. now i feel like it’s a bit steep, especially since we’d like to eventually port cool kid cody to the google play store and offering such an expensive game on mobile feels unfair.

i also thought about upping the discount on the bundle instead, but because of some rules about pricing on steam, we thought it’d be less complicated to lower the overall cost of the game instead.

anyway, i waffled over how to do this in a way that’d be kind towards future players, but also appreciative of the players who supported us by paying full price early on. i know it isn’t much, but i hope you enjoy the badge. your support helped us bring this massive project to completion and i can’t be thankful enough for you playing our games, participating in fundraisers and making amazing fan content. you’re seriously cool in the real way and we really appreciate you.

welp, that’s it for now, talk to you later! :)

<3 denny and andy

p.s. season 3 will be coming to itch soon, just wanted to get the pricing of s1 and s2 figured out first!
