>Carlo Ivo Alimo Bianchi, CEO & Founder, Storm in a Teacup, said: “Our relationship with Epic and the decision to use the Unreal Engine have provided fantastic opportunities for our studio, enabling a greater creative freedom and the ability to double-down on quality for our games. To launch on the Epic games store feels like the perfect next step and we are delighted that our partnerships with both Wired Productions and Epic Games will help propel Close to the Sun to achieve our ambitions.”

>“It’s great news for independent developers and publishers that Epic has opened up these incredible opportunities for its partners,” said Leo Zullo, Managing Director, Wired Productions. “Success in this industry is hard to come by and the industry relies on each other to drive progress. Great games need great developers, who need great tech, who need great publishers, who need great distribution opportunities.”

>Close to the Sun is an “atmospheric horror game” developed by Storm in a Teacup. Set in 1897, it takes place on a ship complex created by Nikola Tesla in the pursuit of knowledge. In this alternate version of world history, many scientific breakthroughs have already taken place and had a major impact on world society. As a young journalist looking for her sister, you quickly realize that something has gone terribly wrong, as the entire ship complex is deserted, with a single word painted over the entrance: quarantine.

Gaben is watching his empire slowly crumble around him like the movie Scarface, except the white poweder is the stuff from doughnuts

This kills the obese steam redditor

This game would have sold like 10 copies on Steam. Looks like your average UE4 assetflip,

They probably got more from Epic than sales would have ever given them on Steam.

This garbage will be pirated anyways

literally what?

Steam drones didn't think Exodus was garbage and started a platform war over it

poor desperate journos, shilling a platform without community or user reviews to try to stay relevant with their shit reviews and moral discussion
poor devs that are selling their fanbase for an upfront check during the first year

HOLY SHIT NOT CLOSE THE SU-
Wait, who?

literally who?

>a literal who indie game gets exclusivity deal on Ebin
>nobody even knows of this shit

yeah I'm sure the best thing for an up and coming indie studio is to limit their exposure/range to one new platform for a one time bonus. Also why is this even article-worthy? Was there a drove of CttS fans waiting for news?

>yeah I'm sure the best thing for an up and coming indie studio is to limit their exposure/range

So Steam is a monopoly like YouTube

Glad you could admit it
