Welcome back one and all to this humble corner of the internet, where I give news about Blood nor Water and ramble on to myself about random game related topics. Also where I keep my plate of internet cookies in case anyone says hi. *rattles cookie box enticingy* They're the finest bytes on offer. Yes I mostly said that for the pun.
We've spent a lot of time recently on marketing-related stuff. That's cool because it's stuff that you (yes YOU *points dramatically*) will all get to be seeing soon, buuuut it's also work that doesn't tend to come very naturally to me. It's a stark reminder that pulling off something like this takes a lot of hard work. There's gonna be stuff you don't feel like doing but needs to be done. And you're going to have to do work you do and don't like at unpleasant times. There's a really tough balance that needs to be struck. On one hand, if you don't do the thing, the thing won't get done. On the other hand, if you drive yourself to burnout, not only will it feel terrible, but you'll actually do worse work at a slower rate. You have to keep in mind that what's gotta be done, has to get done for you to succeed, but it's also important to treat yourself well and prioritize your own health, because doing that will make your game better.
Segueing gracefully out of the realm of philosophical, psychological, and other abstract nonsense, I have an announcement to make! No, not the huge super exciting one, that's next time. (*Bounces energetically*) So some of you who were at Dreamhack may recall signing up for an email list, but haven't gotten any e-mails. So there were some shenanigans and that list was lost to the abyss. And many tears were shed that day. But! The good news is, we've got the thing working now!
