Why is the game still not on sale?

[Bulva]

The game was to be released today.
Does anyone know why it is still unavailable.
On Google Play and Appstroe is now available, but I'd rather buy on Steam.
There is also no information about the game launch date.
What is going on ?

Wondering the same thing. I logged on earlier and it said "available in less than an hour." That was over 4 hours ago. No communication out of the devs either.

I believe they were _hoping_ to launch today, but it was never guaranteed. The aim they listed on facebook was "this month" for Steam.

I tweeted Digidiced and they said that there was a small delay and the game is still in the validation process.

Strange that they sell the game through Google Play and App Store.

maybe they are going epic store exclusive

Not really. The build for a Android is going to be different to PC. Same for iOS. In fact Android and iOS are probably closer to each other than either is to PC. If nothing else, the interface needs major changes going from touchscreen to a mouse.
Mobile versions were ready, so they launched them while finishing the PC version.

Thanks for telling us.

Game companies have community liasons these days. You'd think DIGIDICED would tell us here.

No problem. Well, DIGIDICED has still not said anything publicly about this delay. It doesn't really surprise me. They have always had a "release and forget" mentality when it comes to their games. Which is why most of them are sitting at "Mixed" in reviews, no support and no updates to fix bugs. Maybe this one will be different, but doesn't seem likely given the current situation.

Developer to provide any updates on this?

We are waiting for the steam validation. At the moment everyting takes a bit longer because steam support is also in homeoffice. It could be around the 22nd though.

It doesn't take a week to validate a game. I call ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥.

*shrug* All I did was post what they'd posted on twitter. I personally don't know what Steam may or may not have told them and frankly neither do you. And unless you're a small developer who's trying to get a new game published right now on Steam (during the whole virus disruption) you don't know how long it currently takes someone who isn't a AAA developer to get something through Steam validation.

According to Valve's documentation, https://partner.steamgames.com/doc/store/review_process, validation takes 3-5 business days.

I really want to play this! It is available on iOS; however, I much prefer playing on the large screen.
