700 Steam reviews!
Hey everyone!
Just when I thought we had hit 500 Steam reviews, something even cooler happened - we've crossed the 700 Steam review mark in less than two months since the game hit 500 reviews!
This is awesome. I'm very happy that so many of you have enjoyed the game so much to have left a positive review.
I'd like to again thank the folks who have been actively reporting bugs, testing upcoming update BETA versions when necessary, and contributing to the game in any way, even something as simple as leaving a review. Positive reviews, as insignificant as they may seem, are a big help, and you're doing a big favor to any indie developer by leaving a positive review for a game you like.
This reception is awesome. There's no other way I can put it.
When I was working on Intravenous, I had no clue whether people would like the game or not. All I hoped for is that people would like the game, and from the testers words the game was really cool - which can be deceptive, since what the testers and the actual players think can be two vastly different things.
Once the game was ready for a 1.0 release - it was a leap of faith. You can imagine how worried I was, when I hit the "Release game" button, that a lot of people might not end up liking the game...
I am super glad to see that that my worries were unfounded.
I was going to make a news post about the Steam awards, but frankly I don't expect Intravenous to win any awards (it's not popular enough to gather enough votes!), and I believe that you folks should decide whether to vote for Intravenous or not on your own accord, without any nudging from my part. :D
Speaking of games you like... in the "What's Next? #5" Steam announcement I stated that Intravenous will get Update 1.3 sometime in January... I might have been wrong about that. It might come sooner, in December, as I'm chewing through things I need to finish up for it's release faster than I anticipated.
It's fun when a developer is ahead of an estimate, eh?
I'll be putting up a BETA test branch for Update 1.3 soon - as I have with the level editor update and the controller support update.
As always, when the time for that comes, I'll greatly appreciate any testing/feedback you guys bring to the table.
If you've wanted to chat with a bunch of other folks that have enjoyed playing Intravenous, make sure to join the official Discord server!
Thank you so much folks, for everything, I hope you're still enjoying the game and are looking forward to the next update.
