After 12 months in development, with the support of over 150 game developers, and 114 unique games on our platform, we are absolutely excited to announce that Isοtopic is about to launch the Full Version of our Game Storein September 2023.

The full version comes to bring support for paid games, so you can expect to find some amazing new games arriving at the store during the launch!

Play over 110 different games for free on Isotopic now! (Game Store link)

What is Isotopic?

Isotopic is a new, Open and Cross-Platform Game Store, which enables true ownership of your games and content. Developers can publish games on Isotopic, that users can trade, resell, and collect!

Using distributed ledger technologies, the distribution of games is transparent, secure, and immutable. Developers gain full control of their games, while users gain control of their digital copies. (See: Ubisoft will delete everything if your account is inactive. link )

Enjoy exclusive deals on the Isotopic Game Store, during the launch on September 2023. Sign up on Isotopic now!

Unique features of Isotopic

➥ Free to publish, low fees.

(Not so) fun fact: Developers on Steam can end up earning only 40% of their game sales, after Steam’s 30% cut and other transaction costs and taxes. They can instead earn exactly 92% on Isotopic, and place better price tags on their games.

➥ Rent and Trade Games.

Developers on Isotopic can easily make their games tradable, meaning you could buy a game and play it for a week, before selling it to another player.

On Isotopic, you can also rent digital games for as long as you need, instead of having to buy the full copy.

➥ Cross-Platform.

Gaming on PC? Mobile? VR? Isotopic has got you covered, as the platform is built to host games across all of these platforms, all in one place.

➥ Collect limited-edition games and DLC.

There have been many publishers selling collectable editions of their games, limited, special editions that offer something rare.

In 2017, we saw the release of The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild’s Master Edition, which sold a limited number of copies around the world, and constitutes a very sought-after collectible, now selling upwards of 5,000 USD!

With the era of physical copies slowly passing away, the digital world is here to stay, and at Isotopic, we bring back the capability of publishing limited collectible digital copies of games!

Now, a developer could create a special DLC for their game, and sell only a limited number of copies, thus creating collectible value for it. These special copies are traceable via our transparent distribution system, and users can verifiably confirm their copy’s rarity.

Best option for developers

With low fees, funding and marketing opportunities, full control of the distribution pipeline, scalable free development tools and many different ways to monetize your game and engage with your players, Isotopic is exactly what an Indie developer needs.

PHOTO MODE TWEAKS

During photo mode, player name tags are now hidden for a cleaner, more immersive experience.

Added SFXs for the pictures buttons of the photo viewer, enhancing your interaction with your collected memories.
Fixed some localization issues where the “photo viewer” button was called the “photo mode”, ensuring clarity across all regions.


OTHER updates

Added distant lightning VFX and SFX, both on the island and the council temple maps, for a more atmospheric experience.
Added some missing fire SFX to the small fires of the temple, breathing life into the dark corners of the game.
Reduced the number of “wax heads” (single-player respawn item) available on the Mad Man difficulty, ramping up the challenge for the most daring explorers.
REMINDER This update is now live. If for whatever reason the update doesn’t show up, restart Steam. And remember, for co-op sessions, all players must have the same game version! With this new patch, the game version will be Eresys 0.6.9.

FUTURE Lovecraftian Updates

Since the initial early access release of Eresys until the present, we have consistently released a patch every week. While we want to maintain this work momentum, our current plan is to focus on making a larger patch containing a larger piece of content in the form of a new map. So while it may take a while until the next patch, rest assured, that we will continue to work on the game, as well as continue to keep our community updated on our progress and future plans.

PHOTO MODE:
– Players can open the photo mode in-game by pressing the “P” key. Remember, this key can be rebound in the input menu for your convenience.
– The photo mode interface features sliders that allow you to modify the image, as well as various controls for the camera that are detailed in the menu itself.
– Photos taken using the photo mode will be saved at “C:\EresysPictures”. For those who prefer using Steam for screenshots, the photo mode’s interface can also be hidden, allowing for a seamless experience!

We’ve also included a menu for viewing these images in-game, allowing you to revisit and share your memories within the Eresys community. (Note: screenshots taken with Steam will not appear in this menu.) The photo viewer menu can be accessed from the in-game menu itself.

FUTURE CONTENT:
We’re also happy to share that the development of the second map is well underway, with approximately 40% completed.

In conclusion, we’re thrilled to see the ways in which you utilize the new Photo Mode and eagerly await the images you’ll capture in the grotesque beauty of Eresys. As always, we appreciate your ongoing support and feedback as we continue to develop and refine the Eresys experience.

How to Build and Engage with Your Game Community

The gaming industry isn’t just about creating captivating games; it’s about creating an engaged and enthusiastic community of players. A strong community can make your game thrive, as it fosters a sense of belonging and loyalty amongst players, amplifying your game’s success.

  1. Building a game community starts with understanding your audience. Who are your players? What are their interests, and what brings them to your game? This understanding can inform your content creation, allowing you to create experiences that resonate with your audience.
  2. Social media platforms are an excellent place to engage your community. Create a space where players can share experiences, provide feedback, and connect with each other. Regular updates, sneak peeks, and behind-the-scenes content can help to build excitement and engagement.
  3. Events and tournaments are another way to engage your community. These can range from small, in-game activities to larger, organized tournaments with prizes. Not only do events encourage engagement, but they also provide a platform for players to show their skills, creating thrilling and memorable moments.
  4. Lastly, engaging content is key. This can include gameplay guides, character spotlights, and developer interviews. The goal is to create content that is both valuable and entertaining, encouraging players to return to your game and community again and again.

Building and engaging a game community is a continuous effort, but the rewards are worth it. An active, engaged community will elevate your game, creating a gaming experience that is rich, vibrant, and enjoyable for all.
