MODERATORS
 

For context : have no idea how they found about it, but I love that they are illuminating indie games. And VICE.com has 12 million monthly readers. This is insane for me , because for a long time I was struggling for the game to be noticed. (If you want to follow how development of the game is going, a simple wishlist on Steam will be well appreciated.

Congratulations, you've earned it.

As always, @[email protected] got the mods express authorization to promote his game as soon as his post are not meme and he does not excessively promote his game (aka spam it). One or two post a month are fine, as long as they are not direct link to his game with the text being copy-pasted from the Steam page.

Anyone wanting to do the same can DM the mods.

Reddit mods should learn a thing or two from you : )

"Posting about a game on game related sub? HOW DARE YOU?"

The blatant ads there were getting insane though. I love how you are sharing your well earned recognition, but many times on Reddit it was, "My daughter died of cancer three years ago and I quit my job and used coding as therapy, three years later, I have my parting gift inspired by her love of turtles ready to share with the world!"

Insert half-baked $5 game made in a few weeks

It was so obvious they were creating fictions to push shovelware.

I once saw a post about Oni, a 2001 Bungie game get deleted from the Bungie subreddit for not being Bungie related.
