Thank you for being part of our game development journey.
It wouldn't be the same without those of you whom have elected to join us.
Thank you for buying our products, supporting our pre-orders and backing us on Kickstarter.
I cannot wait to see what happens next! Thanks for helping make this happen!

If you would quit making such great games we could all do something else, like sit around twiddling or thumbs saying if only their was a couple of brothers that made games for our Android, iOS, and win devices.
If only there was a forum where we could have fun and tell them how nice they are and that they should not work so hard and to take a break.
If only everyone would rise up and pledge to a Kickstarter or Alpha so that these brothers could afford a new box of crayons and one more cup of coffee.
That would be the great day indeed where we fire torps, derail threads, debate the physics of Selen's bust size or how she fits into the tight pants.
IF ONLY THERE WAS A FONT BIGGER THAN THIS TO SHOUT OUT LOUD OUR THANKS TO THESE WONDERFUL DEVELOPERS AND ALSO,
FREE THE TB'S!!!!!
Ahhhhh, if only.

I think what prompted this was I was working at 2am, and realized how much fun I was having.
In my career I have put in hundreds of 2am nights, but very few times have I looked up at the clock and said "what a blast!"

Oh I know that feeling VERY well. I think creation is what makes mad scientists so manic all the time.  |

Couldn't sleep much last night because I had a book idea snagged in my head. Fun as heck, but also exhausting. Hey Cory&Andrew give me a follow on twitter for retweets and stuff. rabid |

You Corrie and Andrew are the worst game designers alive!
You design games that have depth and replayabilaty in a market of 3 min games and pay to play madness.
You constantly update your games, not just with bug fixes but with new content....for free
You produce a range of games that spread your apeal so eaven if your not kean on one or two there are plenty more you will love.
You have found a way to turn your passion into our passion.
You interact and listen to your customers and your fans.
Your indi set up create great games that can distract and hold a player from their latest AAA title and yet price for less than 5% of that tittles cost.
In a market full of those out to gouge a profit you are fair.
And your games are highly addictive.
From the view of the industry your doing it all wrong and I, as do most I am sure, love you for it.
Thank you for being the worst games designers ever cause you produce amazing games that become our addiction, our passion. Your style leaves us wanting more and your modle keeps us coming back for more. You have made not just amazing games but grown one of the best gaming comunitys on the web. Don't stop being who you are, and keep going just as you are.
I, Torvus, thankyou both!

From the point of view of money-mining corporate robots, they're doing it all wrong. And its working because gamers are fed up with widescale freemium and IAP abuse. I've read on Reddit about larger developers talking down about "niche" independent devs for not going after the larger demographics (IE shooters, runners, and block puzzles). I like games like that too, but I don't like wading through pages of nearly identical crap in the catalog either. I like games that force you to think of a strategy instead of simply react. Plan instead of purchase.

I've been saying it for years, that the TB's are peddling digital crack. Even when there was but one game in their stable, it was a horribly terribly evilly addictive one. The forum was alive and well and enthusiastically embraced 4+ years ago, and like seasoned peddlers, they came up with improvements to their products. Things they said would balance out the experience ... in reality, they found ways to make the game even more addictive. "Try this. I know you'll like it. Oh, you're addicted already? I wasn't expecting that" I haven't stayed up to 2am for my current role - and it's been a long long time since I did that for any previous roles too. I just haven't got the passion and enjoyment that you two are having, living the dream of creating games that you love and play. rabidbite, I too have had a story line stuck in my head for months - but I'm not an author, so alas, this idea will just be one of those miniseries played solely within the confines of my head. Gotta tell you, the special effects are soso. I might have to upgrade my brain's video card. |
