So... How are sales going?

[Penumbra]

I wonder if it's on the large Linux scroller, if there is one?

Yes, it was on the Linux scroll this afternoon.

at least there'll be Steam sales.   .....of games I likely already have.  Joy.

On the plus side, there's always the Starport 28 alpha, so if it grabs you then there will be that for the holidays.

Huh, I had originally had this idea that the alpha for that wasnt going to start until after New Years.   ....not that I know where I got that idea from.

But yes, I'll jump on that.  The concept sounds great.

Be good to have during the holidays, too.  Typically I just dont buy much during that period.  Not really into the new consoles either.  Probably the first time where I actually dont intend on buying them.  I tell ya, consoles just arent quite what they used to be.   Back in my day.... *ceaseless rambling*

I've seen it a couple of times on the Linux scroller. It's there now.

Matt's email very clearly told us: main rotator on OSX and Linux, the PC featured games (smaller thing) on windows.

Hmmm, sim game for next?

Well, as far as markets go, sim I find the greatest example of feast-or-famine. If you manage to get a good release, you can rack in money for a long time, if not...you find yourself in the bin.

Good luck!

Ah, ok.  I had totally missed the bit about the OSX/Linux rotator

There is actually some solid strategy to it as well, so that should help. The subject matter here seems to intrigue people a lot, so should have a good shot. I feel like many sim games pick subject matter that almost nobody is interested in, and this which have to carry the torch based on gameplay alone in spite of that. A great sim game can make anything fun, don't get me wrong. But the ones that are merely good and which are trading on a pretty meh central concept really do have a tough sell.
