Artillery Royale going free and open source!

November 1, 2021

Hello, dear friends of Artillery Royale.

As you may have already understood, I decided to pause on the development of the game.

About me: I'm quite sad about it but also very proud of the work done. I did not find the resources to make it work, both in terms of motivation and finances. Because this is not my first project, I now know when it is time to stop and prevent myself to burn.

So it was a difficult decision, but I have no regrets.

Figures: I have spent about 12 months on that project and more than 10,000 euro of my own money (not even counting the time I spent). The game made US$ 80 of revenues (quite far from any benefits).

Now I have found a classic job to consolidate my finances (to be honest, that's not the only reason, but the rest is personal).

Next: About Artillery Royale, it is now free on steam! And I am releasing the source code as open source.

Why so? First, I think that code can help some people to learn a bit in game development.
Also, if someone has a good feeling about the game, they may continue to work on it.

Anyway it was a great experience, I met a lot of interesting people, learn so many things (see the blog here).
