That's amazing, happy to hear it. Do you then have to offer support in other languages too?

This is fascinating to me. Do you have any way to tell if this leads to enough new sales over time to offset the translation cost?

I love your work so much, and it brings joy to so many people. Styscraper and DOCTYPE were two of my favorite projects of the year.

I was working on Upcoming at Yahoo at the time it came out, in the same department as everyone working on Yahoo! Maps. I distinctly remember going to a Yahoo! Local meeting where they excitedly shared that Yahoo! Maps was mentioned on SNL... and then they showed the clip. Not great for morale!

Unofficial copies immediately popped up on YouTube, which had just launched that year and exited beta earlier that week, getting over 5 million views in a few days. Two months later, NBC Universal ordered YouTube to take it offline, along with 500 other NBC clips. Geniuses!

I know! I'm excited to see it reach a wider audience who won't touch text-only games. My GOTY, for sure.

Yeah, they deliver shitty, low-quality versions of the puzzle. www.youtube.com/shorts/Xnu7Y...
Turns out imitation is the sincerest form of disappointment

The Mastodon instance is community-run and no longer involved with XOXO now that the festival's over, but I believe you still need to have been to XOXO to get an invite.
