TL/DR:   Game live on Steam at $14.99, but will keep the price here on Itch at $8.99 until August 1st, as a 'Thank You' for all the support from the Itch community during the development. Have lots of progress updates for Day 2 posted on my Patreon page.

Whew! I finally get to say that I'm a Steam Developer :) Summer Thunder went into release just a bit ago. After some number-crunching, I made the decision to set the game price at $14.99. But, don't worry, my Itch friends. I will keep it at $8.99 here until the end of the month, just as a way of showing my gratitude for all of this communities help as I sometimes stumbled my way through the game development.I really do appreciate the patience and support when I sent out some of my panicked requests. THANK YOU!

So, now the path is clear to move forward to Day 2. 

If you've already read the Patreon posts, then you already know that I've made the decision to go ahead and let the game evolve into a full-blown musical. I've spent the past 2 weeks writing lyrics and songs, and shopped around on Fiverr to find a Music Producer who can take care of alot of the heavy-lifting with the song production. Each of the 6 Day 2 opening paths starts with its own song :) I think that will add a fun element for replays, since you get brand new song(s) for each path taken. 

Please guys, check out the Patreon. Even at the free membership tier, you have access to read most posts. And, if you decide you want to provide further support, I will come up with some nice perks...  (Free soundtrack maybe??)  Who knows? I am the kind of guy that takes care of of his friends, so we'll see.
