My Applause to Carlos Bordeu & the ACE Team Options

I’m one of the developers of Zeno Clash. I would appreciate you read this if you are about to download this file.

Zeno Clash is an independently funded game by a very small and sacrificed group of people. The only way in which we can continue making games like this (or a sequel) is to have good sales.

I am aware that at this moment there is still no demo of the game, but we are working on one which will be available soon.

We cannot do anything to stop piracy of the game (and honestly don’t intend to do so) but if you are downloading because you wish to try before you buy, I would ask that you purchase the game (and support the independent game development scene) if you enjoy it. We plan on updating Zeno Clash with DLC and continuing support for the game long after it’s release.

Thanks for taking the time to read this… hopefully it will make a difference.

This was a highly impressive move by the ACE Team by posting this within some of the piracy communities. As you hope that this will make a difference within the piracy communities, I as well hope that this makes a difference in how larger developers engage these communities. You set an example in how this problem should be met, and you succeeded. I admit that I have pirated many games in the past year or so. But hearing your statement right before I was about to pirate Zeno Clash made me do the exact opposite. Instead I bought the game off of steam before even trying it, and I have loved playing this game ever since.
