February 25 Update
Added 2018-02-25 23:43:06 +0000 UTCI could give an account of what has developed with Steam, but it would be equally effective to shake my fist at the heavens and shout "Steeeeeam!" Will DoW be allowed to launch next weekend? I don't know, we can only hope. At least the problem seems to be a bug and bad customer service on their end, not censorship.
Meanwhile, I finished up the story I mentioned earlier. This is a bit of an odd one, I don't think it's for everyone, but if you want a bunch of words written by me, read them here:

This is just a one-off: it connects to nothing and leads to nothing. Was stress-relieving to write, though, so I hope some other people get enjoyment from it.
Also, a fairly big Twitch streamer played Crimson Gray and is now uploading segments of it. Based on referral data, it has led to some new sales. I don't think I ever contacted this guy, so it's a lucky break. I'll link the videos below - give me clicks in the hopes that it gives the videos more visibility. =P

This Steam business is bad for ongoing development, but I'm trying to stay productive! Thanks again to everyone for your support, and you should be seeing the fruits of my labor in time.

For clarity, game streaming videos aren't my thing, not Crimson Gray. I've been saving it for a treat for myself later for strange reasons.

2018-03-08 06:01:25 +0000 UTCI'm sure you're aware, but CinnimonToastKen has posted four further Crimson Gray videos. I've clicked but not watched as it's not really my thing. His beard IS quite impressive though.

2018-03-08 05:54:43 +0000 UTCThanks, glad you liked it! I do not generally write many one-shots, as I need to put most of my energy toward central projects, but sometimes they're a nice change of pace.

2018-03-01 14:12:50 +0000 UTCGentle Violence was super interesting, not my cup of tea per-say, but an interesting read none the less! As always, your writing is fantastic, and I'm interested to see if you'll publish more one-shots like this.
2018-03-01 07:05:54 +0000 UTCYay, somebody read it! Glad you enjoyed it, I was going for something a little different. ^-^

2018-02-26 23:58:31 +0000 UTCI quite enjoyed "Gentle Violence"! It's rather dark, but sexy and sweet in it's own strange way. It definitely reminded me of Desecration of Wings. Putting the Love in Lovecraft there.

2018-02-26 20:43:38 +0000 UTCThank you kindly! There actually have been several LPs of TLS, but not from any channel big enough to drive traffic in my direction.

2018-02-26 03:01:26 +0000 UTCHe liked it overall. Though he joked around as streamers do, he seemed to understand and appreciate the game's premise.

2018-02-26 01:31:06 +0000 UTCOf course!

2018-02-26 01:30:22 +0000 UTCOne of the joys of running a digital monopsony on a product with tiny unit prices in the modern age is the necessity of delegating most of your customer service to artificial idiocy. Try and look at it this way. If they had a human being going over your product in depth, their percentage of each game sale would be that much higher.

2018-02-26 00:16:29 +0000 UTCOh neat, haven't watched Ken in a while but he can be very entertaining when he gets into the right mindset to enjoy a game. Might check those vods later. Hope he liked it!
