Hey everyone,

Wow, Max's blog entry created quite a stir. We got covered on dozens of news sites and had some pretty overwhelming site traffic. We weren't sure if "opening the kimono" was going to be the right strategy, or even if dynamic infestation would excite anyone but I think we found out otherwise!

We are pretty excited about Steam and the possibilities for remaining independent and making enough money to make more exciting games. This will be a great test run for us.

Speaking of which...we'll be live on Steam tomorrow! Here's what the store front will look like:
