  1. I'm late to this discussion but just wanted to chime in with my experience - When I first played this game back in 2018 I had such an amazing experience that I committed to buying whatever the studio released. I have pretty severe ADD and can't imagine what it's like to try to focus a development team on one game for six plus years, no matter how awesome the game is. I have bought the game several times on different platforms and as gifts for a couple folks, and will continue to buy anything the studio offers. I admire their stated goals in how they treat their employees and appreciate even the iterative changes that the team makes to fine-tune things. I check back in every once in a while to re-experience the game and never fail to get lost in its wonderful environments. As far as I'm concerned, I have gotten every bit of my money's worth and then some. In our lives, we often pay for experiences of one type or another. The Long Dark has been an incredible experience, and I'll keep forking over money to support the feels it gives me every time I step into that world. I wish there was a better way to support the team and keep them enthused and let them know how much I appreciate the world they've created...
  2. Always love your developer diaries. I know it's a question in the survey, but right now it's the main way I learn about game updates. Congrats on the staggering sales numbers, and continuing gratitude for making such a remarkable experience. I've bought the game several times over on different platforms and for friends. Looking forward to seeing what your studio will come up with next. Whatever it is, I'm in. Stay safe, and cheers from your less mature, more impulsive neighbor to the south.
  3. You're a good boss to understand that people have their own situations going on at home, even while they're expected to be working, and not pushing this. Thank you for being a compassionate studio. I will continue to support Hinterland with the occasional purchase of swag as I have already bought the game several times over now, and I look forward to the next episode - whenever that will be. Thank you for the update. The important thing is everyone gets through this trying time safely. Wishing you success and health from south of the border.
  4. Ha. I just decided to try the first released build. Barely staggered into the dam and had totally forgotten about fluffy. That ended that lol. So awesome Hinterland is letting us roll back time. It's so cool seeing how so many of the mechanics were in place way back then. So much fun.
  5. Just a note for those like me who bought the game on a Steam sale and who believe they're getting incredible value for the hundreds of hours they've played the game - if you still want to support Hinterland, you can always buy additional copies and gift them, or go to their store and buy some of the artwork or other items! That's what I've done because this is one of my favorite games and I want to make sure I support every bit of extra content that's been released free-of-charge. I know things were "promised" with your purchase and you certainly don't owe them any more money based upon that agreement, but this has been several years of hard work by this team. I'm still loving this game and want to see more, so if I can contribute a little more, I view these other purchases kind of as an "Indiegogo" for Hinterland. Please don't be offended. Again, I know Hinterland promised some things when we purchased the game, it's just a suggestion for those who want to continue to support the devs financially above and beyond the initial purchase.
  6. OMG, that was incredible. I get so disappointed in my work, my episodes have stretched to once every couple months. I need to recommit to deadlines. Thank you for that. Bookmarking.
  7. As long as we're all committed to improving, that's all anyone can ask of us. I started a podcast a couple years ago where I got a nice little following, and I'm terrified I'm going to look back a year or two from now and be horrified. I kind of already am. The first few episodes I did, I'm tempted to go back and re-do them. But it's about moving forward - learning, growing, and like Raphael said - reflecting your own inner voice. That's what drew people to this game.
  8. How many goddamn victims has this bridge claimed? If this was an MMORPG the bodies would be piled so high there would be no more gaps to fall through!
  9. Right there too! My first computer was an Atari 1200XL. That should give you some idea of how ancient I am.
  10. I did the EXACT same thing! I'm an old guy with little time to play, so I play on easy. I was some 15 days in on my first playthrough, and crossing the bridge, I clipped through and fell. I sort of saw where it *could* happen, but didn't think the coders at Hinterland would be so cruel lol, since it looked like a person would just be able to step over the gap, so I just went right on through and tumbled to my death.
