Time for a timeline!

Button Shy post Time for a timeline! from patreon

Hey everyone. It's been quite a few weeks here since Agropolis blew up. We've received no less than a million emails, and have probably been able to reply to 500 of those. It's been intense and we're looking to fill a few crucial roles here ASAP.

With that in mind, we have 5 packages that have been held up and should b...

Hey everyone! Hope those in the US had a great holiday weekend, and those in the rest of the world ate meals as good as ours. The 4th of July has always been about food and fireworks here, and to make up for the lack of fireworks, we just ate more food.

But there were tons of fireworks in Personal Space this weekend. ...

Hey everyone, just a quick notice that we are doing one of our annual-ish garage sales, where we dig into our stock of games that aren't currently for sale and put them up on the site. Some of these games are harder to find. Some have just a single copy remaining. Some are heavily discounted. So while there isn't a ton to go ...

Hello everyone! We have some updates for you, some good, some frustrating but turned good.

First a quick update (as always): I’ve written this update 3 times now and it crashed twice, so I’m over an hour into this update. I’d blame Patreon, but launching a Kickstarter means I have more windows and photoshop files open than anyone ever should, so it’s probably my fault.
