Ossuary is part of the Steam Summer Sale and will be 25% off until July 4! If you haven't had a chance to play yet, it's only $7.50 (USD). If you've played and liked it, we'd be thrilled if you wrote a review on Steam to let us know.

What ...

2015 was a weird year. Somewhere in that year is a typical tale of an indie game studio underestimating project timelines and changing directions based on surprises and things they learned.

But I want to talk about budgets.

It's been a while since we've updated our morbid Discordian satire Ossuary, but there are some issues that have been nagging at us. We improved the introductory experience and made some additions and fixes to accessibility and usability.

For full details, check out the update news.

If you ...

Ossuary—which is currently 50% off on Steam, and will be 50% off next week on FireFlower—is getting an update soon to provide some user experience improvements.

One in particular that we noticed in watching folks play on YouTube is that colorblind players find the floor puzzles impossible to solve without brute forcing a solution through trial and error.

As indie devs, we leverage a variety of services to keep track of keys we've given out, press we contact or want to contact, vendors we've talked to, customers we've interacted with, and fellow developers/artists/etc. we follow.

Here's our list:

• Highrise: a free-for-small-setups Customer Relationship Manager (CRM) in which we store customer, press, and vendor contacts and email discussions. Highrise was originally developed by the makers of Basecamp and Campfire, and still has that clean UX.
• Promoter: a free-for-tiny-setups system to track press mentions of your games.
• presskit(): a free, self-hosted PHP tool to create a presskit for your company and its games — descriptions, screenshots, videos, press quotes, awards, etc.
• distribute(): a free, centrally-hosted tool that houses game keys and provides an interface through which press can request them. Requests are vetted to ensure they aren't from randos, and shows the reach/audience size of the folks requesting keys.

All four of these services can talk to each other, but it's not always the clearest to figure out how.

It's always exciting to be available in a new store, and Steam is the biggest store of all. If you haven't ...

We're not sure how Ossuary got Greenlit.

On April 8, we posted a blog entry marking the one-year anniversary of our creepy-funny game Ossuary's journey on the Steam Greenlight service. On April 13, the game was approved, letting us start preparing it for release on Valve's major online ...

Early this week we received the fateful email: our darkly funny satire Ossuary is coming to Steam!

It's been a rough road on Steam Greenlight, but we finally got approved. The process from here on is covered by a non-disclosure agreement, but all that's left is the basics of ...

Our creepy-funny adventure Ossuary has now been in the Steam Greenlight program for a year. It's frustrating and demoralizing, and we're sharing some details about our experience. Whether you are in Greenlight right now, are considering it, or just buy games on Steam, it's good to know what the process is like.

One year in, and we're 84% of the way to the top 100.
