I used to steal babies, but then I took an arrow in the knee.

Good to see you guys are still alive.

@stunthumb Thanks :)

[jessechounard]

Damn! For a minute, I thought for sure he was talking to us about the alpha build.

I'm really glad you guys aren't dead.

Where is the kitty litter box ?

[RunandGunPictures]

@jessechounard Oh we know and we're scared.

[jessechounard]

@RunandGunPictures Yeah, Steam is the best bet, but it's tough to get through the door. (We were rejected with our last game.) Good luck!

@LoneBoco I consider my edit ok. Other wise we'd have another 10 minutes where absolutely nothing was said, but jibber jabber and I was just trying to show the key points. That there is a pre-alpha people are messing around with and that an alpha will be made available in time.

[LoneBoco]

@jessechounard Haha, yeah, it did seem that way. We were actually talking to Chase for a little while at that point. Blame William for editing it a bit weird.

@FobwashedGame Steam definitely is the way to go. We're going to try to get on steam as soon as we have online multiplayer working. Desura is an excellent service as well... GameStop Now... Well... They have a user base. Desura seems to be the most indie friendly.

@RunandGunPictures Wow. That's pretty rough. . . Still, I'd be happy with just that many people having tried something I made so congratulations on that front =) I'm also considering launching on PC whenever I finish since I have no idea if 360 will even still be around when I'm done. Have you tried looking into any pc release models and do you have anything on that end you can share? I think Magika was made using XNA and it's on Steam for instance.

@RunandGunPictures That`s why Indie Games program sucks. I think releasing it on Steam will be much more profitable to you guys.
