Quarterstaff on Steam
Often outnumbered, never outmatched – carefully plan your moves to single-handedly save a besieged fantasy realm from the clutches of a sorcerous conqueror.
store.steampowered.com
What have I been doing for the last 4 years of my life? Making a game! It's a self-published endeavor, so we could use your help to spread the word.
Want strategy without randomness? Want an intense challenge that never relies on QTE's or timers to create urgency?
Check out Quarterstaff today!

ICE told nurses this Minneapolis man “purposefully ran headfirst into a brick wall.”
What actually happened is that they pulled him from a car, beat him so viciously with a steel baton that he had 8 skull fractures, 5 life-threatening brain hemorrhages, and couldn’t remember he had a daughter.

This is tonight, 8pm Central!
I'll be there to answer question about Quarterstaff, indie game development, game design, and maybe a rant or two about how accessibility and challenge are not mutually exclusive.
There will be codes to give away, and there's a FREE DEMO if you want to follow along.

Small, free act you can do to bring some good in this world: add positive reviews to ALL you Steam games, especially the small indies. You don't need to write anything smart, just "game good" is enough. Every positive steam review tips the algorithm and helps your fav artists get more sales

Currently taking all the smallest indie games in my Steam library and letting them run for a few minutes (if I haven't played them) so I can leave a positive review.
Review your indie games! Even if it doesn't say much. I'm just copying and pasting.

Wonder if the new Fable will continue using the morality system that flags you as evil for eating meat, good for eating veggies, but has absolutely nothing to say when you buy up every house in a village and become a slumlord.
Homeless and forced to hunt = evil, but rent-seeking parasite = ok.
