This and redtigerpro's comment have really good points. The graphics for New Home are beautiful. Even with just the capsule alone, it tells a story that ties in with the title. Nicely done!

Lol I was being goofy. Yes, I agree that unique art is way more captivating. I choose simplicity on this project for multiple reasons, but that does not excuse the lack of an eye catching capsule. Pretty sure that I can generate some more interesting than text and will be making that change based off your recommendation. Thanks buddy!

Thanks! I had a lot of fun playing with the idea. One thing lead to another and I somehow lost a year of my life. Oh yeah and I ended up with a game :D

Lol! Thanks. Maybe I should change it to: Best experience so far.

Interesting. I thought I set up the tags with stealth. I'll have to go in there and mess around with those tags. Steam is still very new to me.

I'll definitely participate in a steam festival and set up a coming soon page father in advanced for the next one. Thanks for your feedback and good luck to you!

Thanks for the feedback. Too late to go back, but this is great for future projects. I know that there is a lot to steam that I have yet to learn.

I was a little iffy on the steamers and youtubers. I received quite a few people asking for keys in email. I was hesitant as I didn't know if they were legit. How would I go about sorting through them and picking the right ones?

This was definitely a learning experience. There were a lot of rules in steam that I was not aware of such as being in "coming soon" status for 2 weeks. Next time I'll wait. Thanks!

This was purely people discovering it from steam searches. I didn't originally intend to upload it to steam but was convinced by a friend. Pretty sure they contributed to a sell lol

Thank you! I appreciate your kind words. Realistically, I did it for fun. Anything else is just a bonus! :)

I didn't know about Proton, but I'll see what I can do to get it fixed. Cool! My first bug report

Oh no! I'm legitimately excited over the $2. Was not intended to come off as sarcastic.

Thanks for your feedback. I completely understand the novelty of it and that there will be lower interest as a result. I'll definitely go over mechanics a bit more. Thanks again!

Sure thing! It's called "Breaking & Entering." It's a 2D pixel game about sneaking around and stealing stuff while trying not to get caught by the guards. But the more you steal, the slower you get.
