Welcome to Halcyon Dynamics! In your new role you'll be expected to process digits efficiently and build a small well-motivated team. Don't overthink it; they're definitely just digits. A narrative-driven incremental management sim. store.steampowered.com/app/4218750?...

Enough is enough. We need advent calendars in sequential order. I'm wasting valuable seconds where I could be eating chocolate looking for a number EVERY DAY.

Try opening a support ticket. My game, quite obviously a racing game, was rejected from Racing Fest even after an appeal and having "racing" as the top tag. It was accepted after I opened a ticket.

In my next game I should just make no bugs! ๐Ÿง

Ah, browsing the internet and stumble across... whatever this is๐Ÿ˜Ÿ

Why use the actual key art in the press kit when you can bash some pish together with AI instead, eh? ๐Ÿซ

I should have asked here before launch but I reduced the Polish price to zล‚29.99 (other currencies are โ‚ฌ8.99 / $9.99 USD) - I think that's reasonable? ๐Ÿค”

Promoting a game is well hard by the way. Are there people out there that enjoy this and do it for an actual job?

WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU ๐Ÿคจ
