But first...
"How's ShantyTown's Launch Going?"
It's going really well! I want to thank everyone for jumping in to the game! It's awesome to see so much love and creativity.
If you're curious about how the launch went, ShantyTown was on the front page of Steam in both the "Popular Upcoming" and now the "New and Trending" sections!
It's still there at time of writing!
Reviews are excellent and I'd really love to hit that "Overwhelmingly Positive" tag, a personal goal!
So if you're enjoying the game, please write a review too!
Now to the meat and potatoes:
