Really amazing breakdown of how they did this launch so well, and THIS IS WHY YOU SUPPORT INDIE DEVS so they can be happy and keep making more weird and wonderful games

Awesome show, catch while you can! Would 100% watch Sooz do a whole show of cabaret covers of 90s TV themes

We had live voice recording sessions with stand-up comics for our last adventure game, which really helped bring the characters to life! Just about to start this for our next game...

Yeah, just spelling it out here: Valve is a multi-billion-dollar corporate run storefront that skims 30% off the entire PC games industry.

Itch is a handful of people running a scrappy indie games n' smut store on literal donations. They *recommend* giving 10% to support them, but don't demand it.

Rosewater, my Wild West adventure game, has been out nearly 4 months and has been very well-received!

But I also feel like it’s reached a fraction of its potential audience.

If you can spare a repost and help spread the word, it would be greatly appreciated!

The first time Charlie Chaplin used his voice in a film, he wielded it to forcefully condemn the rising forces of fascism around the globe.

Will we listen to his words today?
