I once worked on a game that had 100% positive reviews for a LONG time after launch. Someone finally gave it a negative review admitting the game was excellent but that "no game should have perfect reviews" and thus they were compelled to rate negative. I'm STILL mad about it.

I'm taking this as a small mark of success: our first Crow Country negative Steam review saying it's overrated! Bound to happen sometime! The thing with Steam's review system is, 99% doesn't mean everyone thinks it's 9.9/10, it means that 99% of people think it's at least 6/10.

As hard as I'm sure all of us work in this industry, it's also fair to say many of us got our starts because someone gave us a chance. Be the person who does that for others. Pay it forward. Hold the door open and grant that same opportunity to other people.

GDC is an EXPENSIVE event that is inaccessible for many people as a result, especially those outside of the US. While it is true that meeting folks at events like this can provide a lot of opportunities, I want to stress that it is not the be-all, end-all of the industry.

ITTA is definitely one of those games for me where if you don't play it for even a day or so, the next time you pick it up you're rusty as h e c k. This is a new, terrible record for me. :') (ITTA is being made by @ittas_gun and published by us!)

As a lot of indie games are being debuted today by publishers, please keep in mind is that the publisher is NOT the developer of the game you're excited about. I hate seeing "omg (publisher) is amazing" and not mentioning the devs. Please follow and share the creators as well!
