A new release notification for Double Fine's game "Keeper"
well speaking of double fine and creator home pages and new release notifications... got this email back in October! Here's to lots of orange.
lol here's a good one from just yesterday.
Love me some material efficiency. All about that pressure and performance rating.

A big way is searching the name of a studio in our search bar, or clicking on the Developer or Publisher name fields on a game page.
But when you follow a studio, we show its games more on the home page and other rec spots & a 'follow the dev' widget shows in the cart when somebody buys your game.
Another cool thing about developer homepages: when you follow a game studio you like, we automatically let you know about new games that they release, for instance...

Developer/Publisher home pages are already super valuable, especially for building an audience over time.This morning we launched a huge update to customization.

i loved the writing in void bastards (thank you for that) and your post inspired me to go read some Rob Grant
Hydraulic valves, piston valves, pressure regulator valves... you name a type of valve, somebody has emailed me a price sheet for it. "Valve business guy" means wildly different things depending on whether you make video games or not.

Some children in Dilley were so distraught they cut themselves or talked about suicide, parents told ProPublica.
They said kids lost their appetites after finding worms and mold on their food, had trouble sleeping, and were constantly sick.
By including the i-shaped trophy in their roman numerals logo, the NFL made it look like
Super Bowl 59 instead of Super Bowl 60.

This concludes my sports analysis for the day.
Is your game currently released and playable in Early Access on Steam? If so, you have a new (totally optional) tool to share your planned 1.0 release date, once you are ready to do so!

On Fox 9 just now they interviewed a woman at the scene in Minneapolis. She says she’s not an activist but felt a call to action like she hasn’t felt since 9/11. She says she was raised to love America. She says she’s never felt scared of the government in her life, until now.

New options on Steam make it easier for developers and mod authors to work together in ensuring compatibility of mods as games evolve. Extremely cool for games that have an active mod community!
