First off, we’re sorry we’ve been a bit quiet on the Veritas front but that’s just because we’ve been very busy working on it. The game has proven to be more interesting than we originally thought and we didn’t want to rush it.
To that end, we are today announcing that Veritas will no longer be released in 2018, but rather it will now be released early 2019, and trust me, no one is more disappointed by this than us. This will mean that 2018 is the first year since we started that we haven’t released a game.
The reason for this delay is two fold, the first is that game-dev is hard, things happen, and games take longer than expected, but the second is that if making games is hard, selling them is next to impossible.
The last few months of the year aren’t the best to release a game in as generally it’s taken up by the large game releases and as such will make it hard for anyone to notice our game, so we took the hard decision to delay it to give it the chance we feel it deserves.
We want to continue making these types of games and to do that they need to sell, so in a way we’re being selfish with the delay so that Glitch can continue. So please just bear with us and help us make a better world.

Tired of waiting!! Have played the other glitch games and enjoyed them. Wanted to enjoy this game but FORGET IT!! we are at 7 months past the original launch date. Im tired of looking to see if you have even announced another launch date. I mean how do you miss it by this far?? Why even mention it if your not going to allow anyone to ever buy it?? Bad business and marketing in my book.

I am sorry that the game is taking longer than we had originally thought, trust me, no one wants this game out more than us.
We are just two people and simply put games are hard. Things happen, delays are inevitable. Life gets in the way.
The good news is that you don’t have to keep looking to see if there is any news as you can just sign up to our newsletter and be notified the second we have anything – http://glitch.games/newsletter
You can also play the current build of the game right now by joining our Discord server – https://discord.gg/YK2wfeE

I could be wrong, but this delay seems more like a business decision due to reason #2. Wondering what we can do to help get the word out for you (“we” meaning your loyal fans). I truly enjoy your games and hope this works out financially for you.
Graham

I’d say the balance between the two reasons is about 50/50.
The best way to help is simply to tell people about the games, leave ratings and reviews, that sort of thing. Word of mouth is really the best thing there is.

Do you guys think that you need a sales and marketing person? I hope that that stuff isn’t interfering with your passion for making amazing games for us to enjoy!

Marketing is hard. We’ve had some help with it for Veritas, and will hopefully be getting more help with it when we get closer to launch, but really the best marketing an indie can get is word of mouth and support from their fans. And you lot are all amazing at that!

Glitch Games, for us (your loyal fans) you guys are already GREAT. There is no such a thing as “large” or “small” games, “big” or “small” developers…there are good and bad games and believe me you guys are BY FAR the best of the best. Sometimes self-esteem can make the difference between failure and success. Unfortunately the world is comprised of a larger percent of people who don’t or can’t value what is really valuable. People who appreciate art and ingenuity are quite in the minority my friends. Keep it up!

I spend every day checking the App Store for Veritas, I love you guys, I’ve played all your games over the years and having played a large variety of other games can still safely say yours are by far the best. As the previous comment stated not enough people value ingenuity and excellence, opting instead for spoon fed drivel, it’s a crying shame. Thank you for the hours of enjoyment and hair pulling you have already given me, I’m awaiting veritas with baited breath and trying to be patient for your labour of love. 💖

How do I go about it to donate a sum of money to Glitch Games? I think your games are among the very best point-and-click games out there, and trust me, I’ve been through _a lot_ of them 😉 I also think you sell your games way too cheaply, but I understand that it’s difficult to get people to pay for apps, even when the apps are of super high quality. Anyway, I want you guys to stay in business, and I want you to get paid for your hard work, so how do I get around to that donation?
Graham

Haha thanks for offering the support! The best thing to do is to tell all your friends about the games, or gift them to them 😉

I’ve been checking back for the release of this game for probably 12 months now, but that’s because I cannot wait for it!! If it’s half as good as previous games were in for a treat.
