'Mass distribution of keys to users was organized, some of which were very reminiscent of bots. A lot of strange reviews began to appear.'
By October that year the game was ready, and had been reviewed and approved by Valve."The release took place on October 24, 2014," said Sokolov."But then some oddities began. The publisher interpreted the concept of game promotion in a very peculiar way. In fact, their participation was reduced to the distribution of keys to those journalists and YouTubers who themselves wrote to us and wanted to review the game.
Technical difficulties. I am currently wearing my 'doubt' face. Every so often an indie developer talks about a story like this and, take it from someone who's looked into a lot of them, often it's a bit half-and-half. The developer will say the publisher didn't do X, Y, and Z, then you get in touch with the publisher and they say the developer didn't do A, B and C to get there.
N-Game remains a going concern now, and so there was other work to be done. After not making any progress in trying to re-acquire the rights, Sokolov and his team had to move it down the priority list and focus on the future. But, of course, they kept an eye on it. The game was still, however, tied to the Kiss Ltd. Steam account."Fortunately, the Steam team was sympathetic to our situation," said Sokolov."They helped us transfer Robowars from the former publisher's account to our own account without losing player data, stats, etc. By the way, thanks to this, some more curious details surfaced: for example, we learned that the former publisher created more than 200,000 activation keys for our game.
"Therefore, for the return of the game, we have prepared an updated build. Then, we contacted Valve again, as they had to return the game to the sale. And it finally happened."
