More than 10,000 copies of Understand have been sold

I just noticed the amount went beyond 10k a few days ago. It's more than I expected. Thank you all for playing my game. And thank you for supporting a solo developer. I also want to thank my playtesters.

changedAnd I have to thank the streamers, who brought this game more attention. Notably LayerQ, 谜之声 and AliensRock. Watching their gameplay video feels like... I'm unsure if I should say this. Well, to be honest, it feels like, I was an evil scientist, watching people suffer from my doomsday machine. (EVIL LAUGHTER)
changedIn the end, it's time to share my future plans: I am working on a programming puzzle game about learning an original esolang. The steam store page will be available once I have the minimal artwork to be approved by Steamworks. (And that might be all the artwork for the game. You know, that's how Artless Games works.)
addedBesides that, a new chapter for Understand is on my to-do list. I'll start working on it after the esolang game is finished.

I also want to thank my playtesters. They suffered from harder puzzles than the published version. And the games inspired Understand. Including The Witness for the line-drawing concept, Baba Is You for the meta stuff, Nikoli's pen & paper puzzles for some rule sets, and Zendo for the rule-guessing thing.
