The project has expanded with the work I've done on the upcoming navy system (over 28,000 lines of code in total now), so I initially intended to discontinue development due to the rising difficulty and time investment required to continue development (plus relatively low sales revenue and perceived low interest in the game).

After a few days, the idea to increase the game's base price (mostly for personal motivation as it will probably diminish sales) led me to resume development. I've invested seven months into this project and I guess I can't give up now. Also, I noticed a spike in sales when I made the announcement to pause development, so this sentiment plays a role in my decision as well. Existing owners are unaffected by the base price increase.

Hey everyone! Thanks for supporting the development of Of Crowns & Chains so far and I appreciate everyone who bought the game, contributed to its development, or interacted with the community!

I'm making this announcement to notify those who have bought the game and those who are considering buying the game that, as the sole developer of this game, I'm indefinitely pausing its development due to low sales revenue. I've updated the store page's description and Early Access FAQ accordingly.

It's unfortunate to stop developing a game that I've spent months working on, but my time is better spent on new projects (new games, new software applications; very exciting stuff).

Thanks again and I appreciate your understanding! :)
