Hey Tobias! This is unrelated but I have been reading your blogs since the early Fig Hunter days and I am a huge fan of your work. I just had an idea for you. I don't know if you have ever heard of Stadia, but it is a cloud gaming service owned by Google. They work with Indie developers a lot and because there are not many games on the platform yet, most games get a lot of exposure and reach most of the platform's audience. I think this service would be perfect for some of your games. Just a suggestion, would be cool to see some of your games there! Anyways, hope you are doing well!

Hello! And I'm glad to know that whatever I'm doing has held your interest to some degree all these years!
I've only vaguely heard of Stadia, but I thought I'd heard it'd been shut down? Maybe not. I'm reminded though of Kartridge, which was also indie-focused with limited games on there so I hoped Sindrel Song would face little competition and do well on it... but the limited audience meant I sold only a handful of copies even when featured, way fewer than on Steam. I suspect it'd be similar with Stadia, and it takes a lot of effort to put games on platforms, so it might not be worth it.
