So. You know what day it is. That's right, you read the title,
It's National Gamer Day!!!!! YIPPPEEEEEEEEEE!!!
...or wait,
It's Steven the Sperm's fifth anniversary here on Steam!
I've said it before and I'll say it again - this whole experience has been super cool, and I thank all of you for coming out of nowhere and playing. I hope STS has provided hours of sometimes-rage-inducing but satisfying and challenging gameplay, and I always love seeing videos and screenshots and reviews of the game, and even bug reports to help me tighten up the game even further.
Looking back on it, it's crazy just how far the game has come. When I first released it, I didn't think I was going to update it much. But then, slowly but surely, more and more things were added and improved upon, eventually leading to the 2.0 update, which would've been unthinkable back in 2018. But I did it to make the game better, and now, I have something I'm truly proud of, and that I think feels pretty professional.
So, that got me thinking about the past. Five years... has it really been five? That's when I remembered - STS had actually existed before being on Steam.
It was a little detail I had forgotten. The early versions of the game weren't really on ANY major game platform, instead being distributed amongst my friend group and on file sharing links hosted on websites I used free website-makers to publish, essentially stranded on a deserted-cobweb of the Internet.
Dusting through these old cobwebs, I discovered the ancient torture device known as "Steven the Sperm Classic". Devised in 2017, this version of Steven the Sperm man... hoooooo boy, It's best I don't tell you, because...
To celebrate this anniversary, now you can experience the first ever version of Steven the Sperm yourself! For free!

It's over on that platform since I figured not everybody on here is gonna want to play it, so I figured I'd spare the disk space. It's also not DLC since, as you'll see, it's very... historical, so I don't think it exactly fits that.
But anyways, I hope you get SOME sort of enjoyment out of it and think it's cool! Again, thanks for five awesome years!
