About Steam/DLC

Hello everyone!

Recently, I promoted two of my colleagues who released games on Steam. I know both of them and can say that after this release, they both had the opportunity to reach a new level. This is essentially what I have always strived for and... we will soon have a release on Steam too. This is our chance to achieve what we have dreamed of since day one of working on games.

The bad news is that things are not going very well for us at the moment. The game has barely managed to gather only 20,000 wishlists, while we need at least 50,000, preferably 60-80,000. This is, of course, entirely my fault, as I haven't been handling the PR properly, and the game would be much more well-known if updates were released more frequently. Our first major game, MLA, was an absolute failure because it was just banned, and this time we must do everything to ensure everything goes well. The game doesn't have much left to be done, we will definitely finish it this year, the only question is whether we can promote it enough so that it doesn't get lost somewhere in the depths of Steam. Probably the worst thing we could do for our future activities is to just finish and publish it in the current situation.

I have a plan of action that is perhaps overly ambitious and large-scale, and again, we might not even implement half of it, but nonetheless, I ask you to understand the presence of a large number of promotional materials. I mean both cross-posts here and possibly small games on Steam in TLK universe, maybe even just small games with ads for our Steam page. Yes, the idea of making a beat 'em up has always been with us, but we really started working on it because we needed to come up with something to post on Steam for free to insert ads for the main game. I hope we manage to create quite a few such things. Perhaps some of you might even enjoy it, because instead of news, you will be receiving playable builds, but I can fully understand the possible nervousness about seeing me doing PR instead of development.

Yeah, update 0.96 is coming soon, this month. I will soon tell you what will be in it ^_^
