Weekly progress #59

Hello, dear Greenfeet friends! May the grass be soft beneath your feet!

What a week! Things have been pretty crazy around the game lately. It hit the milestone of 1000 wishlists and we're currently around 1400! There have been press articles, Twitch streams, and also YouTube videos, which has greatly helped introduce the game to a wider audience.

Gaming Bible published an article about the game 🇬🇧.

LadyShelab 🇬🇧, Wee Hours Games 🇬🇧, Massimo Solo 🇬🇧 and HordalinGames 🇬🇧 made youtube videos showcasing the game.

MrsTahlly 🇩🇪, Factales 🇫🇷 and ChaNoCreArt 🇫🇷 streamed the game.

Give them a follow!

I'm still working on fixing the main bugs. A first hotfix was deployed for the demo last week, and another one is currently being validated. You can already try it out on the game's "beta" branch, available on the Steam client. At the end of this post, you'll find a changelog for the current demo version and the upcoming one that's currently on the beta branch.

As I mentioned a little while ago, the blog post schedule is changing to one post every two weeks. So I'll see you on Friday — not this one, the next!

Thank you for reading this post, and have a great week, everyone!
