Hey, have had your game wishlisted for a while, and as a programmer/Factorio player/"guy who grew up with a pappy that had an awesome model train setup and took me all over to model train meccas", I just want you to know that I think you're filling a niche and expanding the genre in a very meaningful way!

Chin up, and good luck with launch!

Ohhh that feels good to hear! Thank you! How did you originally find us?

Thanks eh, yeah the launch is close so if anything this might bring more attention to us.

Honestly, I want to say it was your twitter ads that caught me? I'm pretty entrenched in the indie scene on twitter, so it was either an ad or just a post that got in front of me.

That makes sense. I've been running a bunch of ads, and honestly I think they are a powerful technique for indies. We don't need to convince press, journalist, or a publisher. We can let our game speak for itself directly in front of players.

It helps that game ads are a lot nicer to look at, so our cost per click is lower than the typical business or crypto centric ad on twitter.
