On the heels of A Valley Without Wind's latest post-release beta update Steam is offering the game at 50% off today only as a Daily Deal. Meaning you can pickup both the individual game and/or the four-pack for half the price!

If you've been out of the loop for a bit, AVWW is undergoing a major art rework that will be offered later this year as a free update for all owners of the game. So if you've been on the fence, now's a great chance to dive in on the cheap; especially when you couple the upcoming overhaul with the improvements/additions already made from 1.0 to 1.2.

Offer ends tomorrow at 10 AM Pacific Time. A PC demo is available on the game's Steam page, while both PC and Mac demos are offered on our website.

Speaking of which do you guys know why Steam often doesn't have Mac demos for games when it carries the game for Macs?  I think I've seen it a few times but most of their demos are PC-only.

No idea -- I'm assuming that's related to the developer, but I'm just guessing.  In our case, our demo is steamplay just like the game itself, to my knowledge.

Well, I hope it's doing better this daily deal than during the summer bundle.

Well, I hope it's doing better this daily deal than during the summer bundle.

It's actually doing worse, but it's partly the time of year.  It's a pretty solid sale today, and it's certainly a nice boost, but it's not like it's earth-shattering or something.

And it's not like our summer sale was horrible, either, in the first place.  It's not like what happened with Tidalis, not remotely.  But there's a big gap between doing adequately, and doing so well that you can fund having 5 people working fulltime on a game after it launches.  Hence our diversifying our portfolio, so to speak.  Either way we'll be doing persistent smaller updates for AVWW on an ongoing basis, but my big bet with the game is essentially the art revamp and all the stuff related to that, coming up in November.  I still think that's one of the major things holding the game back at this point.

At any rate, to the question of whether or not I'm generally pleased with how this particular sale is going, I am.  I'm not ecstatic like what happened last summer with AI War, but I think things are heading in the right direction.

I asked about it as recently as yesterday.  Nothing yet.
