Dinoblade Launches on Steam with a 7-Day 10% Discount

After a development period that included a public demo and community feedback rounds, Dinoblade (AppID 3440070) is now live on Steam as of July 23, 2026.

The announcement comes from developer jeananimate3d, writing under the Team Spino name, who credited wishlists, demo players, and shared feedback as central to the project reaching release.

What changed

  • Dinoblade has moved from pre-release to a full Steam launch
  • A 10% launch discount is active for the first 7 days
  • The developer is actively requesting Steam reviews, citing their importance for indie discoverability

The post is notably personal in tone — a solo or small-team effort shaped in part by community response during the demo phase. No specific features, genres, or pricing details beyond the discount percentage appear in the announcement.

For players who followed the demo, the window to purchase at a reduced price is limited to launch week.
