Oh, that's fair! I hope that's the case. We need to do our regular platform review to see if anything's gotten better (or worse). Has it affected you guys?

Good question! New ports and continued new players finding it, I'd say. It always seems to find an audience as long as we keep it upright.

One of the weird things about being a teeny-tiny #indiegame studio is that you're like a single-core processor, just chewing through tasks, one by one. Work just takes the time it takes. 😩 #gamedev #gaming

Ben was on the @p1podcast.com this weekend to discuss physical games, the #indiegames business, and reactions to Wolverine. Watch/listen and wonder where in that office he keeps his shameful anime figures!? 🤔 #gaming www.youtube.com/watch?v=mc0y...

Fun fact about our #indiegame Alone With You: it's VERY Canadian if you're paying attention. 🍁 Characters named after Prime Ministers 🍁 Space-faring company is "Hudson-Cartier" 🍁 Cast reflects the diversity of Canada 🍁 We never shy away from injecting Canada into our games. #gamedev #gaming

Remember paying $749 or some such for an iPhone out of pocket and thinking, "wow, that's a lot of money."

You can also hot swap between mouse, keyboard, Xbox, PS4, PS5, and Switch controllers at any time, and it should all just work. 🎮👌

In our big 10th Anniversary update for Alone With You, we revamped the entire control system on PC so you can play the whole game as a point-and-click adventure. (Did we mention the game is free right now on the Epic Games Store?) #ScreenshotSaturday #indiegame
