Looking at the date of last release relative to the size of 0.35.0, I guess I'm not doing so bad. I hope it will be out on Friday and that everyone will enjoy it, but cannot promise either at this stage.

I want to just hide and write, but stuff keeps coming up. For example, I wanted to have a custom faceset edit for the update, but my usual guy has been AWOL for three weeks. Keeping moving overall, though.

In good but tiring news, a big YouTuber has started a play of Crimson Gray:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N4b5pA6iZcM

Hopefully it will get enough views for him to continue and maybe for my work to draw more attention overall. Regardless, hope to have more content for everyone soon.

Hope so too - that video's gotten 105K views within one day. I looked at his previous videos and it's compares well ratio-wise, so...hopefully good news is on the way.

Best of luck! Also when are we getting Orcent as a cameo in KOD? I demand this.

Best case scenario, other YouTubers in the same social circle will be more likely to play it and I can get a beneficial cycle started. I sent out a ton of keys before, but we'll see. At minimum, it's had a positive effect on sales. Not as much as a Steam sale, but bigger than any other boost I've seen.

sierralee

Thanks! And haha, that'd be fun, but we'll see...

Hmmm... find yourself a bit short on Erosian faces I'll wager. :p I'll do everything that lies in my power to help you hide and write by preventing pompous and loquacious Patrons from filling your comment threads with inane comments.

Bladestorm

Always nice to see you get more recognition, cause we know you deserved it ; ). And excited to hear TLS, and this time it's war, all I know is I probably will regret some of my investments XD.

For the benefit of anyone who might click the link, let me say that YouTube guy is tolerable once he actually starts playing, as opposed to when he's doing the standard "WHAT UP IT'S YA BOI" YouTuber intro. Not sure how he'll handle Lizzie eventually trying to get into John's pants if he won't even say 'naughty' words, and he also has a similar problem to the last guy where he stumbles on moderate-difficulty vocabulary like "demurely." Hopefully it should be a net positive though. He seems to like the game so far.

sierralee

Haha, I don't know how people have been optimizing, but this update is the first time this chapter when I'm trying to give the player hard choices.

Dubsington

The comments.... oh my god the comments. It's like three hundred people got together and did a choreographed forum dance with the sole goal of reinforcing every negative stereotype about youtube commenters.

DukeLeto7

Good lord, Dubsington, you're not wrong. I think I need to get a box of rocks out of my front garden so I can remember what it's like to have a conversation with something a bit more intelligent...

WaxerRed

I suspect the hours I spent debating what type of grass and flowers I wanted for my base will have been a much harder choice then anything you can through at us.

sierralee

Yeah, the comments are... definitely a thing. All audiences are audiences, though.

You'll change your tune when you find out that the war against the Fucklord comes down entirely to a landscaping competition.

... Please tell me someone made a manga with such a premise. I want to read it. "No, that's impossible! Those apparently mismatched trees... They draw a rainbow when blossoming!"

Edward Culham

That would be great, especially for those that took the time to change there settings. One thing that I would like to see with the base is the ability to change the outside courtyard stone. Want it to match my current stone inside that is black. Secondly; the second is that the stars are hard to see on the light grey training ground.

Markus S.

There have been hard choices all over the game... you make me anxious with that announcement. :-o

Markus S.

I see him making choices which I remember are not very well in trying to actually help John or Lizzie. I expect a pretty disastrous ending incoming.

Martin Hunt

Hey Sierra can I get a copy of all of your completed projects on steam I have been a Patreon for about 3 months now and would like to try out your side project games.

sierralee

Yup, you can! Just give me a bit to gather the relevant Steam keys and I'll send them your way.

Najal

Just noticed that manlybadasshero is playing crimson gray, I've seen some other youtubers playing it as well.

sierralee

Ah, thanks for informing me! One of the benefits of having someone as big as BijuuMike play the game is the probability of other streamers noticing. I'm glad to see we got somebody in the hundred thousands range. Big YouTubers covering the game are kind of a double-edged sword, though. I'm glad I have work to distract me...

Avera

Well now I'm curious what you mean with the last paragraph. xD

sierralee

Well, it's basically just that the biggest YouTubers' audiences are not necessarily people I would consider the target audience for a game like Crimson Gray. That's a net positive, but it's something I have to work through.
