That was the plan, but I didn't expect to get any articles until the game was about to launch tbh. I updated it JUST now. There is now a FREE version and PAID version. The level editor, twitch integration, CSV export, character naming, are now in the paid version (steam will only have a 4.99 paid version). I've also limited the demo to 6 mo in game time. I don't really want to STOP people from playing, but maybe incentivize buying it a little bit.

All good decisions.

the news kept saying it was the one for poor people (who couldn't be trusted to come back for the second shot) so i assumed it sucked

Coldrice, I agree with everyone else: charge 5bux for your game, put it on an early sale if you want. My game is f2p and I kinda regret it since it made us very little money (despite over 200k downloads). We just wanted the exposure though, and we got it. Went to Steam dev days and others knew of our game and we got drunk with the Vermintide devs. Chase the dream.

Achievements, cards, emotes are easy to make and add instant interest to your game. I don't know how this has changed since steam went to a point system but I assume its similar. Making your own emote everyone can then use on Steam is a feel-good experience.

Twitch integration was smart. Anything else you can do to improve gamer experience is a plus. Some things might not make sense for your title (unlockable content, online leaderboards and such) but looks like a great start.

Frequent updates generate a lot of press. Keep rolling out updates and dev posts to your game's community on Steam and it could keep the numbers rolling in.
Post-Covid/long covid could be a cool big update if it’s not in there

My kid's croup is super bad rn. No results yet from pcr. Video appt with urgent care tmrw for the magic steroid pill that makes this cycle stop. I should be squatting rn but I'm kinda crying instead. Please pray for me, covid thread. Ed: ox is fine he's just very tired.

I’m very sorry, I went through this the last two months. Our youngest got croup in November then again December and I took him to the ER. Christmas Eve for the ‘roids. He’s been negative for COVID every time but he’s been coughing literally for two months now. He’s had some really bad coughing fits too that went on for a couple hours and nothing helped. We did the cold air, hot steam, humidifier treatments daily.

Finally last week I got him COVID tested so we could take him to his pediatrician who diagnosed him with a sinus infection and gave us amoxicillin. I’m hoping he’ll clear this nasal drip and get rid of his cough in the next couple of days because I hate hearing him cough and he’s sleeping horribly.

I have decided to get my second Pfizer shot since that J&J shot totally didn't happen and I completely forgot my second Pfizer shot oh no how could I be so scatterbrained! In order to avoid friction I'm looking for my second initial dose and not a booster, but I can't find any appointments before February except for a CVS over an hour away at 6am on a work day lol.

Can't get a test or a shot right now even if you wanted one. :newlol:

The county school board has decided to go to virtual schooling this Thursday and Friday due to the number of students and staff that have pozzed or been exposed.

I assume they are counting on the 3-day weekend coming up to clear up Covid once and for all, since it will make 5 days out of the building.
