I have to admit, I had no idea that it would blow up this way before it’s even done… I released it as early access to pay for hosting costs, and help with development. You know, this is indie so “any money helps”.<\/p>\n
In retrospect, I’m really happy that this happened, and I have had to release it as early access. Showing it at E3 has been a lot different from what I expected. I don’t think it’s the kind of game fit for mainstream game events. People did like it. Most of the feedback has been “I’ve never seen anything like this before”. It was positive. The biggest hurdle has been getting people to view this with an open mind. It’s not a game by traditional standards, and you shouldn’t expect to be game-entertained. Although, this has always been a tremendous challenge to those making “games” that challenge the “game” label (I talked about this here).<\/a><\/p>\n I gave this one interview to IndieCade. I’ll share it here because I like how it turned out:
\nIt’s amazing to see how it’s being received (even before being officially “done”). I’m also pretty sure that I would have sat on this thing much longer than necessary. So it’s good to have this pressure as a motivating factor (to drive me).
\nWhat I find funny about all this is that I always wanted to be one of those people that releases something and their site goes down from the heavy load of traffic just because it’s so “popular”.
\nNow that I have had that I see that it’s not really… um… something you wish for.
\nI love this tho. It was even written about on Rock Paper Shotgun!<\/a><\/p>\n
