Hey everybody!

This last weekend has been pretty incredible. I was hoping the Premium Edition would do well, but I honestly didn't expect it to do as well as it has.

The goal I had in mind for me to consider the Premium Edition VERY successful was for it to sell 10,000 copies in three months. It has currently sold over 5000 in its first weekend. Things are going to slow down a bit, but I'm fairly certain that it'll hit the goal in three months at this point.

So, over the last weekend, I actually made more money than I did during the entirety of last year. Which is going to be life-changing for me once again. I've started seriously looking at buying a house and moving out of my current living situation. I'll be talking to a buyers agent this week and setting things up with a mortgage company. Still a ways to go before I can move, but now I know that I'll have the funds for a large down payment and I believe we'll be able to do it.

It's so crazy to me how much support I've gotten. I made this silly porn game, hoping that it'll do well and I'll be able to make some money off it, but I don't think when I started it, I thought that I'd be able to do things like buy a car or a house or go on vacations. Being able to do those things and still work on something that I truly love to do everyday is just a dream for me.

Anyway, that's what's going on here. I'm incredibly excited and incredibly grateful to everybody who has supported me.

Aside from all that, I've been playing through Metroid Prime Remastered, which is amazing. And a new game by a solo dev called Patch Quest, which I absolutely adore. That's pretty much all I've been doing in my non-work-related time.

Love you all. Hope you have a great week!
