Positive Steam review for Discounty that reads "Why does every villager come to my store buying 3 toilet paper rolls per day? Thank god this town doesn't have a public pool"
This might be my favorite review yet ๐งป
Three people stand on a stage smiling. A person on the left with long red hair smiles and holds a trophy in the shap of a head. A woman in the middle wearing a green dress stands smiling, and a man with pink hair on the right holds a large bouquet of flowers
A picture of a trophy in the shape of a head, divided vertically in half. The left side has a polished chrome look, and the right side is black and polygonal. On the base is written "BEST DEBUT 2026".
Discounty won Best Debut at Spilprisen last week! ๐
Thank you to everyone who took a chance supporting a new studio's first game: our friends, funders, testers, content creators, and every single person who played.
Making a game is really hard, but you all made it worth it. ๐ซถ
๐จ Update for console players: we've submitted the Quality of Life patch to all platforms and it's now under review!
It may take a few weeks to get approval and go live, but this means we're in the final stage, and we'll let you know as soon as the patch is ready to download! ๐
Fun fact: to make the dialogue font size scalable, we had a problem: sometimes the speech bubbles would get so big that they'd appear off screen ๐
So to make this work we adjusted the camera position for most dialogues -- here's how the same scene looks with different settings:
Only 2 days left until launch discount expires! ๐ฆ
If you're considering getting, now it's the perfect time, as well as almost last moment to help boost the game before week ends ๐งก
we got new poster glue that's less sticky
We're still porting it, but we'll let you know as soon as we have more news to share! :)
You can now tear down your posters if you place down the wrong one or change your mind!
After all: a thriving business requires a nimble marketing strategy ๐ โจ

You're hired!
Discounty screenshot showing the interior of a grocery store in pixel art style. Most of the shelves are empty and the floor is covered in patches of dirt. The player character sweats profusely.
POV you come back to work after a long holiday
thanks for the kind words! ^^
I finished Discounty a few weeks ago & can confirm that its quite good.
Discounty cover art with a price tag over it. The price is shown as $19.99, which is crossed out with $13.99 written on top of it.
Is your New Year's resolution to play more satirical pixel art supermarket management games? (And if it isn't, please ask yourself why and do better.)
Well, good news: you can still grab Discounty on Steam for 30% off for just a few more days!
The Quality of Life patch added a few other accessibility features as well! More info here:
Some players told us they were bothered by the motion in the title screen, so we've added a motion sickness mode that parks that pesky bus still on the highway! โจ
(Are we there yet?)
Merry Christmas to all of Discounty employees working hard today!
(And a gentle but firm reminder that it is against company policy to provide holiday or overtime pay. ๐ซถ)
(Though ofc we do recommend reading the dialogues! They're fun *and* we also just made a bunch of improvements to our dialogue system!)
For more info on recent changes, check out our latest post on Steam:
You can now skip quickly through character dialogues with instant-appearing text!
