New Trailer, Interview, and the Price!

Posted by on Aug 6, 2009 in Love, Osmos | 6 Comments

Greetings dear Motes,

It is with great excitement that we begin unveiling some of the goodies we’ve been preparing for your ambient gaming pleasure.

First, we just released the new trailer for Osmos. Check it out:

Next, the price. 10 dollars.

“But that’s too low, Hemisphere guys” you may say, “you’re crazy!” And you may well be right. Honestly though, we just want as many people as possible to play the full game — not just the demo. We also want to make sure that people who buy the game are very happy with their purchase.

But wait, there’s more. There’s a new interview up on IGN (“indie pick of the week!”), and at the end of the interview, they let another cat out of the bag:

“Osmos will be available on Direct2Drive beginning August 18. If you pre-order the game between August 7 and 18 you’ll receive a coupon to gift Osmos to a friend for $1.”

Believe it or not, we agreed to this. So go get yourself some Osmos, and share it with a friend.

We’ll also be selling Osmos on our site very soon. For those who purchase from Hemisphere directly, you’ll get the Mac version (when it’s ready) “thrown in”.

As for Steam, rumour has it they’ll be running a 10%-off sale upon release. So many choices…

More soon!
Eddy, on behalf of the Hemi-team

    Salut André,

    It’s in our plans/wishes, but it may be a while before it’s ready (ie. more than a few months), which is why I didn’t mention it. If/when we do it though, it’ll be available from us in the same package deal (10$) as the PC + Mac versions.

    Thanks for asking! :)

    Very cool trailer! And I was going to say that 10 dollars is the best price in your situation. It’s basically the standard for indie games; the only games I know of that pulled off a 20 dollar price-tag were world of goo and braid, and nobody likes paying 15.
