Steam Awards? Sounds kinda epic...

Hiya, gang!

I got an e-mail from Steam informing me of this year's upcoming (as of writing) Steam Awards, suggesting I make a quick post to let y'all know about it! So this is that!

YARG came out last year, meaning it's eligible for the Labor [sic] of Love award! And lemme tell ya, after all this time, with all the updates and the recently released free prologue? ...I wouldn't have done all that if I hated the game, I tell ya that much.

Now, I'm not crazy, I am well-aware that this tiny indie game is but a drop in the ocean of 2D pixel art platformers. But I have a proposition to make that, I believe, no other game of this genre can compete with... ...wouldn't it be really funny if YARG got an award? Like, c'mon now. You know it would be hilarious.

And just to sweeten the deal a lil' bit, you'll notice that this whole shebang is taking place during the Autumn Sale. 20% off for what's probably gonna be this year's Labour of Love award winner? Sounds like a great deal to me, I dunno!

...OK, jokes aside, this game holds an extremely special place in my heart. It was my first large-scale project, and I spent years on it. Whether I got 0 sales, 5 sales, or 30 total sales with 4 people returning it, it genuinely doesn't matter. I am still hugely appreciative of everyone who decided to give this game even just a look. Thank you, from the bottom of my heart.

As always, feel free to @ me on Twitter or send me an email! Thanks!
