having made two games is kinda crazy. One could be a fluke but two is a pattern. I don't particularly care that they're not super popular, they are both well-received with their intended audiences and that's awesome

i really need to get used to people taking a bit longer to beat NBTP. i'm just worried. But also I'm out of a huge project now so also a tiny bit burnt out and I should probably wait it out at least a little lol Seriously though go play NBTP it's great

Okay, I've sent 110 people keys for Nothing Beyond This Point. Feels like a lot but apparently it's not even that many... Please let me know if yours doesn't work, I can easily replace it. Let's hope something comes out of this!

Broke: all your games share a theme, style, world, etc Woke: all your games share a character Bespoke: all your games share a character, who is/was the final boss of the first game, but now is just completely unrelated and just There

so NBTP is done (go wishlist it etc), but I just... don't want to market it. It's a great game, I just don't like marketing. I'll just send the emails to the youtubers/streamers in February/March and probably call it there.
