One very weird thing I forgot to mention. This Substack is starting to make a noticeable amount of money. I'm more surprised than you are.

Thank you SO MUCH to the people who donate. It really does get me to write more often. I mean, I'll write no matter what. But if a month goes by where people pay me and I don't give anything in return, I will feel very guilty. So it helps me overcome fatigue.

I plan to put out a lot more posts in the near future, in order to get attention to our new game. That will be what REALLY pays the bills.

I have reposted a link to There Are Too Many Video Games about 7 or 8 times last year in reply to something someone says like "why is my indie studio failing?" or "what do I need to do to make games for a living?" or "how many millions of copies will my game sell?" It's a great time-saver for me.

The other thing I could post a link to is my completely new kind of game that I spent 4 years on and earned about a thousand bucks on. Getting attention for a game is so hard.

Am I bitter? Yes, a little.
