I could give an account of what has developed with Steam, but it would be equally effective to shake my fist at the heavens and shout "Steeeeeam!" Will DoW be allowed to launch next weekend? I don't know, we can only hope. At least the problem seems to be a bug and bad customer service on their end, not censorship.

Meanwhile, I finished up the story I mentioned earlier. This is a bit of an odd one, I don't think it's for everyone, but if you want a bunch of words written by me, read them here:

This is just a one-off: it connects to nothing and leads to nothing. Was stress-relieving to write, though, so I hope some other people get enjoyment from it.

Also, a fairly big Twitch streamer played Crimson Gray and is now uploading segments of it. Based on referral data, it has led to some new sales. I don't think I ever contacted this guy, so it's a lucky break. I'll link the videos below - give me clicks in the hopes that it gives the videos more visibility. =P

This Steam business is bad for ongoing development, but I'm trying to stay productive! Thanks again to everyone for your support, and you should be seeing the fruits of my labor in time.

"I could give an account of what has developed with Steam, but it would be equally effective to shake my fist at the heavens and shout "Steeeeeam!"" You of course did it in a very Shatnerish manner, right?

Oh neat, haven't watched Ken in a while but he can be very entertaining when he gets into the right mindset to enjoy a game. Might check those vods later. Hope he liked it!

One of the joys of running a digital monopsony on a product with tiny unit prices in the modern age is the necessity of delegating most of your customer service to artificial idiocy. Try and look at it this way. If they had a human being going over your product in depth, their percentage of each game sale would be that much higher.

He liked it overall. Though he joked around as streamers do, he seemed to understand and appreciate the game's premise.

[Dutifully clicks on links] Now if only we could get someone to do a LP of Last Sovereign...

sierralee

Thank you kindly! There actually have been several LPs of TLS, but not from any channel big enough to drive traffic in my direction.

I used to do lp-Esq things for /aco/. First one I ever did was shitposting screenshots from tls with captions on 4chan. Then I moved to hosting the images on imgur and just posting a link once a week. Good times.

Darn you steam and faulty automatic processing system. Ah a link, and it's CinnamonToastKen I am intrigued. Glad to see a big youtuber gave a playthrough of that gem of a VN.

sierralee

Haha, that folder actually has more views than most of the videos combined. It probably helped, thanks!

I quite enjoyed "Gentle Violence"! It's rather dark, but sexy and sweet in it's own strange way. It definitely reminded me of Desecration of Wings. Putting the Love in Lovecraft there.

sierralee

Yay, somebody read it! Glad you enjoyed it, I was going for something a little different. ^-^

I'm curious: Was "Song of Saya" an influence when writing "Gentle Violence"?

sierralee

Not consciously, though I do think highly of Song of Saya and so it's always possible. This story came from my thoughts on how I write emotion and a lot of exposure to different kinds of erotic fiction. But the original version of this concept I was considering wasn't even eldritch, though I feel this was a better fit.

Seil

Ooooh, it has potential Song of Saya undertones? Nice. *Bookmarks to read later, when i am not at work*

Jordan

Gentle Violence was super interesting, not my cup of tea per-say, but an interesting read none the less! As always, your writing is fantastic, and I'm interested to see if you'll publish more one-shots like this.

Seil

Just finished reading it. I enjoyed it quite a lot. I am not sure how to descibe it, aside form that it is very distinct um... you. P.S. That final line was really powerful.

sierralee

Thanks, glad you liked it! I do not generally write many one-shots, as I need to put most of my energy toward central projects, but sometimes they're a nice change of pace.

DukeLeto7

I'm sure you're aware, but CinnimonToastKen has posted four further Crimson Gray videos. I've clicked but not watched as it's not really my thing. His beard IS quite impressive though.

DukeLeto7

For clarity, game streaming videos aren't my thing, not Crimson Gray. I've been saving it for a treat for myself later for strange reasons.

sierralee

Glancing at them, it seems that he might have reached as far as he'll play. The series got quite a few more views than any other LP of the game and has seemed to correlate with increased attention, so that's all to the good. Hope you enjoy CG when you do play!
