    Indie devs everywhere ought to adopt calling launch day "Day of the Duck" as a nod to the underwhelming overwhelming nature of game dev in general. Like "Hey, cool, we finally launched today! I also saw a duck, and that was cool too." is one of the most down-to-earth takes on game dev I've ever heard.

    These devlogs are really a masterclass in "how to software development". Not even limited to game dev.
    It's so great to follow you guys through prototyping, finding ideas you love but going for what can actually be a good game. Pivoting multiple times and involving your audience early. I don't know whether you deserve this, but you earned this success!

    Congratulations on the successful release! I also just launched a game on Steam, it has sold an order of magnitude less than Thronefall but it is still enough that I can make a living making games for a while to come. I can relate to the feelings of it being simultaneously really weird and surreal but also completely normal at the same time. I can only imagine the extent to which you must be feeling this. Really amazing work!

    Damn, this is super weird. I bought this game back in August as I was browsing Steam and found it interesting. It showed up in my recommended games page, as I like real-time strategy games and tower defense. Today, I get your video in my youtube home page, and realize you're one of the devs working on the game! I used to watch your videos some time back (although I believe it has been more than a year now, time flies). I remember you receiving videos from subscribers about little puzzle games the the like, and reviewing them and giving tips. It's fun to see that one of the youtubers I used to watch actually released a game that I bought and enjoyed, with the game finding its way to me all on its own!

    You're such a skilled game dev. You fool around and stuff, but when it comes to actually getting stuff done, you're dead serious. You buckle down and do it, skillfully and masterfully. Thronefall is not at all my type of game, and I most likely will not play it as I can never figure out how to play these things, but good job. I enjoyed WYS and bought it at launch, even if I never beat it. I'm a game dev myself and I've been trying for ages to get a commercial release out. This is very interesting to watch for someone in my position. I am making my game my way. It isn't going to be as in-depth as your games. It will likely be significantly more glitchy. But it will be fun and it will have personality. I've struggled a lot with enjoying game dev for the past 2 years or more, and I've given up on it a few times, but I've kept coming back. Now I am reusing a lot of what I've made in the past 4 years and some stuff that's even older, to make this game.
