Hello there!
It was recently brought to my attention that we passed 10k downloads on ATF! Not even counting the untracked number of downloads from SW and Fanbox, it is a crazy milestone! I never expected so many people would fall in love with the stupid twine game I made that I almost never shared due to my endless nerves and self-criticism, but I’m glad I did!
This last month, February, was also our biggest in terms of new Discord Members, New Fanbox Supporters, and just the number of messages I received about the game. All in all, it was a great month, and I am so happy to see this community growing!
While I still think working on LaaB as a full-time job is a bit unrealistic, with our Fanbox growing it may soon be possible for me to cut back hours at my main job to treat it as a sort of “Part-Time Job”, which would double the number of weekly hours I could put into it. We are still a bit off from that, but it is a nice thought!
And for those of you not on Discord, we recently announced a partnership with the amazing artist RayRay/SparklingBunny to create a series of character artworks for the game. He is currently hard at work designing them, but we plan to start showing them off soon! They will be posted publicly for all, with some special versions for our Supporters on Fanbox, and will later appear as unlockable art In-Game. So, stay tuned for some cute artwork. We should have a release date for the upcoming update very soon. Thanks again for all your support!
Also, here is a cute present from RayRay to celebrate us hitting this milestone!
