Hey all, Shirley here! I just realised we hit 100 total downloads for PyNori! This really means a lot to me, especially given we reached this milestone in 6 months. However, the kind-of unfortunate part is that a lot of the downloads were for the old version of the "tech demo" (aka a copy of the tutorial, specifically the January 14th version), so this doesn't ENTIRELY count. I definitely will be making another post once we reach 100 downloads of the full game.

I also noticed that version 1.8.0 of the game is now the second version (since v1.0.0) to reach 5 downloads, and the update I released 2 days ago (v1.9.1) is already at 3 downloads. These numbers may seem depressing, but I see them as a sign that more people are downloading the game (or updating) than before, so maybe the game is ever so slightly more popular? Okay, popular could NOT be more of an overstatement, but you get what I mean, right? More people are downloading it, so that means more players, and I couldn't be happier!

Surprisingly though, I haven't received a single bug report since the game released; all the bugfixes I've done were by myself. That's both good and bad in my opinion; I like it when I'm so fast to fix a bug that nobody has time to complain before it's been patched, but at the same time, it would be nice to receive bug reports from others, as that counts as engagement in the community.

Anyway, I was getting sidetracked. The point is we reached 100 downloads (including tech demo downloads) and I just wanted to make a post about it! I believe we actually reached this goal on the 20th (aka v1.9.0's release day), as there were 3 downloads afterward, and the game is at 103 total downloads, but yeah, that'll do it for this little celebratory devlog! Here begins the road to 100 full game downloads, and eventually 200 full game downloads!
