Hello again, thanks for adding me to your watch list!

Hello again, it was a pleasure

Was the least I could do

Okay, so I've been playing Goscurry constantly over the past little bit, and I'm addicted.Β It's mind-cleansing and intense and yet somehow tranquil.Β I've decided that I want to plug the hell out of the game and tell my readers over at the Puck site about the game in the hopes that I can drum up some sales.Β My question is this: when is it best for me to tell people about the game?Β Should I do that now, or wait for the official release?Β What works better for you?
Β
I don't like plugging things I don't believe in, but dang it, I believe in this.Β This game is awesome!

Wah! Thanks you gigantically much!!!! I am enormously happy that you're digging it, and thanks for the help, for which I deeply bow in gratitude! It's pluggable already if you want 
BTW, if you didn't update, I released the new version with the Paranoid mode (just redownload and reinstall). And if you want, you can leave your mail here (where there's the newsletter box) so I'll warn you about each update

I'll definitely plug the game soon.Β A Puck-type avatar would be insanely cool!Β The new Puck site is actually www.puckcomics.com .Β I switched over to a Wordpress-based site near the beginning of the year, though I still maintain the Smackjeeves site with backdated strips.
But yeah.Β This game is great, because it's just so pure.Β It's not a memorization nightmare, like the old Battletoads; it's a pure test of reflexes and the timing is perfect.Β If you're good enough, you can keep going forever.Β (I'm not good enough, but even when I manage to get to the next city, that's enough satisfaction for me.)Β Oh, and the music rocks too.Β I'm definitely going to order me one of those soundtracks.

True! I actually went to your new site, but didn't realize you had changed.
And don't get the soundtrack, check your notes

That was ... frightening.Β Truly frightening.Β Whatever that guy's on (Red Bull, Meth, whatever), I'm not sure I want some...

What about this avatar ? Feel free to complain if you don't like it
π: 0 β©: 1
That's so awesome.Β You are a pixel wizard!Β (Maybe a pixel warlock, even?)
π: 0 β©: 1
Wehh! Glad you like it! Putting it in the version I'm working on then
π: 0 β©: 1
When do you think that version will go live?Β If I time my promo plug with that, then that would be an awesome incentive for my readers to check it out and buy it!Β Heck, if Puck's in there, I'll add a little button on my site so that people can get the ONLY video game to feature Puck.
π: 0 β©: 1
Ah that would be great indeed! Triple thankyous! And I'll add a section to Goscurry's website credits page with a link to Puck (and to the other 3/4 games that are homaged with an avatar). Cross promotion! Astounding!
Mhmm I think it will be out in two Sundays, but I'm still not sure if I'll manage to do everything for that date (achievements and unlockable new ships), plus the Humble Store sometimes takes a little while to upload. I'll let you know half of next week about a more precise schedule
π: 0 β©: 1
Nooo release for this weekend. I'm stuck trying to create more ships that look decent 
π: 0 β©: 1
Let me know. Ooh, and I'm so proud of myself. I finally got to the third city on hard. THIRD CITY!!! Not that impressive, but I suck a video games, so that's a big achievement for me. Doubt I'll ever see the fourth city. Sigh.
π: 0 β©: 1
Waaaah! I'm very proud of you! And usually people don't even reach the second city (youtube is full of people playing Goscurry and dying every 5 seconds, and only 4 players reached the true end xD)
π: 0 β©: 1
How many cities are there, anyway?
π: 0 β©: 1
It's a secret! *_* That said: 10 to reach The End, then a bonus one, and finally the final one which is the 10th with different colors, and goes on forever until you die
π: 0 β©: 1
Well, thanks for letting me know.Β Because I'll never get there myself.
π: 0 β©: 2
By the way, I added Puck's avatar to the "third choice" avatars panel (the one after male and female avatars), which is where I keep all homage avatars plus some alien looking ones. But Jelena said "But Puck is a girl, she should be in the females panel". So now I'm undecided and I leave the choice to you
π: 0 β©: 1
I'd put her in with the girls, unless that bothers your internal game sensibilities.
π: 0 β©: 1
I'll go for it then
By the way, I'm postponing release for another week. Eveerything is done and ready, but since it's the "woah the game is complete" update, I want to test it a lot
π: 0 β©: 1
Test away, man.Β When it's complete, I'm going to promote the BUHJEEZUS out of it!
π: 0 β©: 1
Superthanks!

I'll never get there myself either I assume. Luckily I have my autopilot for debugging

I saw a picture of him (since I made a pixel portrait avatar in honor of his record) and I thought he would be some kind of mutant... instead he looks very normal! Incredible!

Thanks for the fav, great to see you around again!

I really like your art. A great diversity but always with personality and a high quality.

Thank you very much (this is not a late reply, but an old one which traveled towards the future for error)

I am working on a special issue of my magazine, Surreal Grotesque, which will be about the best web comics or independent comic artists/companies that people havenβt heard of. I want to help spread the word and promote artists. I would just need a bio from you, your info about your comic and 5-7 pages of the actual comic. It will be a special digital issue of the magazine. If you would like to be a part of this project, let me know: dangrn77@hotmail.com, just put Surreal Grotesque #0 as the subject. You can check out my website here: www.surrealgrotesque.com.

Hey Daniel,
sorry for the uber late reply. I'm kind of out of comics and dA right now - until I finish the game I'm working on. But good luck with your magazine.
