Wow. Just wow. Here we are about 12 hours after release. And I am exhausted. I've spent this whole time juggling 14 different browser tabs, responding to people in Steam, Twitter, Facebook, Twitch, Reddit, forums, and email. We are having a great launch day, and things on the US west coast are just getting started.
I've been following all the Twitch and YouTube streams that I possibly can, and I've come up with another big list of bugs I need to go fix. And I'm going to try staying on top of communication with all of you here and elsewhere across the internet. And of course, I need to get back to actually finishing the game.
Just FYI, I'm the only one handling both development and PR right now, so please be patient if I can't get to everything right away. Also, I'm overseas right now and my time zone is UTC +2, putting me 7-10 hours ahead of the continental US. So if you want to talk to me in your afternoon, I might not get to you until the next morning.
I just want to let all of you know that Early Access is only one milestone of many still to come. I'm not relaxing yet and I remain dedicated to finishing this game.
Thank you very much for your interest in Himeko Sutori. I'm sorry if I can't talk to all of you tonight, but I promise I'll be checking in early tomorrow morning.
Here's to a great Early Access launch and an eventual polished final release!
