Should I release S3 on Steam early?
Should I release S3 on steam even though all the chapters aren't complete? As I complete each chapter on YouTube I would then update the Steam package. I don't believe there's an early access category for "software" titles. Would just explaining on the Store page be sufficient to alert potential buyers that the package is still in development?

Please let me know if you think it's a good or bad idea. Thank you.

Sure I think so. It'll take time for people to go through the tutorials anyways, and meanwhile you can record new ones. You are active on the forums, so people will know new content will be coming. Is say you should go for it ;-)

Bring it on, I would rather get it from steam then pulling it from YouTube.

Do Steam take 30%? if so the price should be divisible by 3
I would make it at least 9 USD
The most important thing for me is that you keep making these videos.

Do you have an early access date ? Is there a chance to be released soon ? I'm looking forward to test it :)

My last thought is to go with a full release around the end of Feb / early March. My progress has been alright so far and I have another four chapters to complete.

Ok I think I've figured out a suitable balance! I will release S3 in early access as soon as possible when I've finished this Enemy chapter 5. After the eight orignial chapters are completed Steam users will get a new exclusive chapter 9 which will have a couple of videos showing a typical FPS melee weapon system. What do you guys think of that?

good idea. You could implement your drive function from your weekend drive game aswell. D
