We just came back from Greece, and just as I was grumbling to myself about how depressing Germany is, I turn on my computer and see a review of Desert Bridge at auntie pixelante. It’s just three paragraphs, but it put a huge smile on my face.
Thank you.
(For those still having DPI-related issues: a fixed version of Desert Bridge is still on the way. It will be out just a few days after Phenomenon 32.)
And now for a shower and some pizza.
Just looked at the review. Even Gregory Weir says that Desert Bridge is a gem!
Jonas, I think you might just be rising in popularity in the indie gaming world.
Gregory was actually the very first person to review Desert Bridge, I think. That helped a lot, since most sites I wrote to ignored me completely.
Anyway, this is really awesome.
I don’t presume to know everything in the game journalism world, but maybe it might be better *not* to write to those sites anymore. People do see what you come up with anyhow, and they do write about it.
I see what you mean, but very few people do see the games. Very few. It’s next to impossible to get even a post about them being released, much less a review. Hell, it was easier back when I was doing my first few games than now that there is a huge “indie gaming” scene. Releasing Desert Bridge was extremely depressing.
