Monday 30 December 2013
Few weeks ago we got an email from our Steam contact. Good news! they selected Nihilumbra to participate at their Steam Sales' Community Choice by Dec. 30th. To say the truth Nihilumbra numbers were pretty discrete during the first couple of months on Steam, so we held high hopes on these Christmas Steam sales. Once they started we decided to set a 30% discount, but that wasn't enough to make the deal hunters to come closer and discover our work... sadly, our daily numbers kept more or less the same.
That situation went on with no major changes, until today! the competition to call for more votes was on fire! and after many long hours of work and faith, encouraging people around to vote us for that Community Choice spot, we've finally managed to be the most voted game! but, guess what! that spot on Steam main page and 70% discount suddenly made us climb to be the 6th best selling game during a few hours today, that was something completely unexpected! jaw-dropping I would say!
Seriously, we really want to thank you, readers, bloggers, journos, youtubers, fellow developers... thanks for your support all this time, we are really proud of having you being part of our community, our dear BeautiFans. Because without you we won't be there today, between mostly AAA games, or competing head to head with indie projects made by industry veterans, like Outlast. You allowed Nihilumbra to be discovered by many people and helped this small studio to get a step further.
Today is an memorable day for us, we take a strong step into 2014 !
Thanks and have a great 2014!

NOTE: As our game designer Kevin just tweeted this morning, with yesterday's sales, we recovered the investment of making this HD version of Nihilumbra.
