It's cool how we keep proving over and over and over again that there's a significant market for narrative-heavy, character-driven, single-player experiences in video games and publishers just categorically refuse to believe us
Dispatch has sold 1 million copies in under two weeks

Actually, I have a question @abki.bsky.social.
Is the voice actor for Pinky the same as Hawk from Seven Deadly Sins?

Last one for tonight is @aerialknight.com's DropShot- arcadey (finger)gunfights while skydiving. It gets you right in the action, the music is great, and I had a good time replaying levels to get every target. Really loved the boss fight level too! This is a great time.
