Are the devs communicating anywhere?

[ChubbiChibbai]

It's obviously not on steam where the game is being sold.
I saw that one post shortly after launch - but is there any active developer commentary or responses to things anywhere.

It feels like they should be a bit more proactive on steam seeing as the game is launched into early access so that they can get direct feedback?

You have Yiyi coming a bit around but, otherwise the communication is done through the Heart Machine's Discord like most independent devs are doing (which is not surprising considering how toxic the Steam forums have become).

Ok thanks. I don't use discord so i guess i'll just wait for patch notes :)

what is there to communicate? game has less than 600 players peak in a 24-hour period just 1 week after launch. its donezo

I know they were also asking for money on Patreon which is a big concern about the longevity / future of this game given the low sales (there is a youtube video on their channel)

But i'd have thought along with early access they would have been actively seeking input / feedback and communicating - which it sounds like they are doing on Discord

Player count doesnt matter in an offline-optional EARLY ACCESS game. Frequent patches are being released, but clearly you wouldnt care because im assuming you refunded the game day 1 and just keep coming back to the discussions to spread hate, since you obviously have nothing better to do

Yeah I'm around! But Gynsu2000's right, the main place we are monitoring for feedback and bug reports is our discord: discord.gg/heartmachine in the #hlb-support channel. We have a better system for tagging items and responding there. Steam UX leaves much to be desired...

Noted and thanks!
Will hop over to the discord then.
