Over the past week our game A Game About Feeding A Black Hole blew past 10k Wishlists on Steam.

I believe we got lucky and that we also did a few things to create the opportunity for luck to occur.

Now we just need to finish the game.

A Game About Feeding a Black Hole has gained a ton of Wishlists and as a result we've decided to move the release date to December 15th so we can run a proper playtest, get additional game modes added, and make the game as good as possible!

I had Orbital Potato on the Podcast to learn more about how he chooses the games he covers. I think min/maxing a game around being good for a YT video is a great lens to view my games though.

I want my content to focus on what I’m thinking about and working through..

So instead of forcing a game dev video, today is an emotional one reflecting on moving out of my house and all the amazing things I've accomplished here.

After a fun weekend of releasing the demo for A Game About Feeding A Black Hole, I wanted to take a step back and talk a bit about why I make games and why I share my journey on YouTube.
