Hello hello everyone! It's been two weeks since The Mysterious Thief Forget Me Not released, and I'm quite glad with how well the release went! As of this post Forget Me Not has hit 50 purchases on Steam, and the Demo's been downloaded across both sites over 90 times! For my very first paid release these numbers are very solid, and I have a good feeling that between future sales and any other moments I can promo the game these will continue to go up. Forget Me Not has also received 4 reviews so far on Steam, which I greatly appreciate! As a reminder, once we hit 10 reviews Steam will give it an official rating and boost its publicity to more people, so if you played the game and really liked it, be sure to drop even a quick sentence or two to help share it to more people! On that note, I do want to talk about my plans for Forget Me Not from here on out. There will be some small updates in the near-ish future for any bugs or writing-related issues that have been brought to my attention (I really appreciate that by the way, so don't be shy about pointing that out!). As well, I do plan on eventually adding proper controller support! This game was made with a mouse and keyboard in mind, but now that easier methods of incorporating controller support exist for Ren'Py, I'll slowly work through adding that. I'm hopeful that I can get that working by the end of the year, but I'll keep you all posted! For those of you who somehow played this on a Steam Deck, first off how, and second I hope you decide to give this game a quick try again once that's added to see the difference! And lastly, to touch on something a few reviews have mentioned. Due to the wish for more romance, I'm actually cooking up an epilogue for the game! (Yes the Finale is not an epilogue it's a fifth chapter). I already have an outline made, so once I have time I'll get right to work on adding it in. It'll be a free update, so no need to worry about having to buy extra DLC just to see Desire and Irina spend more time together. That's everything I wanted to touch on though, so I'll see you all later. Thanks once again for checking out my funky little game about phantom thieves. See ya!
