Gibbous has achieved two milestones this sale period:
✅1000+ Steam reviews, 89% positive
✅40k units sold reached on Steam
An average of 450 units sold per day at 70% off
P good for an adventure game that's 1.5 years old
#gamedev #indiedev
✅good hooks
✅good production values.
Please evaluate those harshly before taking your project the commercial route.
We could take our time, but we're not making the mistake of spending 4 years on 1 game again. It's already much more ambitious than Gibbous from several points of view.

Here's where we're at with environments again:
We want to thank each and every one of you who've supported us and made Gibbous & #ProjectGreenhorn possible. We know how fortunate we are to have so many people care about what we do...
If we could hug you all, we wouldn't, 'cause of Covid.
But we wish we could!

So the cryptocurrency industry has basically two products, one which is relatively benign and doesn't have product market fit, and one which is malignant and does. The industry has a weird superposition of understanding this fact and (strategically?) not understanding it.
The benign product is sovereign programmable money, which is historically a niche interest of folks with a relatively clustered set of beliefs about the state, the literary merit of Snow Crash, and the utility of gold to the modern economy.
This product has narrow appeal and, accordingly, is worth about as much as everything else on a 486 sitting in someone's basement is worth.
The other product is investment scams, which have approximately the best product market fit of anything produced by humans. In no age, in no country, in no city, at no level of sophistication do people consistently say "Actually I would prefer not to get money for nothing."
This product needs the exchanges like they need oxygen, because the value of it is directly tied to having payment rails to move real currency into the ecosystem and some jurisdictional and regulatory legerdemain to stay one step ahead of the banhammer.
If everyone was holding bitcoin on the old x86 in their parents basement, we would be finding a price bottom. The problem is the risk is all pooled at a few brokerages and a network of rotten exchanges with counter party risk that makes AIG circa 2008 look like a good credit.
