changedi never expected dstnce to get any traction. i posted it around in a few smaller discord communities i'm in and threw it onto my social media but then didn't say too much more past that. and yet, as of writing this post i have 45 units moved on steam and 233 downloads on itch. that is more attention than any game i've ever worked on has gotten, and i didn't even intend for it to get any of that. it's just nuts to me that so many people have played my silly little game, and that some have even gotten something from it. i've had loads of lovely messages from many different people, both whom i know and don't know, sharing with me their interpretations and experiences with the game and it's honestly just been such a heartwarming experience. i sincerely hope that if you have played dstnce that you've gotten something from it.

but just one thing i want to reinforce here that i mention at the end of that post:
