DevLog #33: January Status Update

Hello!

Early this past month, I've contacted Nintendo to join the Switch indie devs program, and I was accepted within 24 hours!

Now, the next step is to purchase the dev-kit and experiment with it a bit - I won't officially say that I support the Switch until I do that - probably after the end of the Steam Early ...

DevLog #28: August Status Update

Hello!

Super Night Riders launched on the PlayStation 4 this month and I just got the sales data for the first 2 weeks. Unfortunately they were not as good as expected.
