Hello. About a year and a half ago, some guy called Ralph asked me if I wanted to make a new videogame website.

We're launching it today. Maybe you can even visit it if people stop hammering the server for a second.

Such timing that @valvesoftware.com released an API for Steamworks sales reports the day after I started building my custom sales reporting dashboard.

No need to grab those CSVs from the site anymore 🤯

The App Store editors decided to feature Final Outpost on the front page!

In Europe +many other countries we‘re in „New Games We Love“, „“What We‘re Playing“, and „Hidden Gems 💎“

Wow, Bluesky posts get a lot more interaction from humans than Twitter ever did.

I should probably introduce myself.

I'm Sam - a neuroscientist turned game developer with a love for strategy games. I released Final Outpost back in 2020 and have been running our studio, Exabyte Games, ever since!

Hey! @exabytegames.bsky.social are making an #indiegame where you build your town and defend it from zombies.

People are your most important resource - there are 10+ jobs to do and getting enough people to do them all can be quite tricky!

We just added traders to our upcoming base-builder colony sim game.

There are two characters so far, who offer up different items. Which one is best?

Kind of scary when someone who works for TinyBuild or Rockstar plays your game 😳
