Hey guys,

So, as I estimated one month ago today, Don't Forget the Bard! did exceed 10,000 views and hit 3.5/5 stars before the end of the year (though it is back down to 3.48 now, it did hit 3.5 at one point). I am guessing that views continued to increase because the game has remained in the featured section on the mobile site of Newgrounds. However, reviews and ratings have mostly stopped and the project feels pretty dead at this point.

I don't think there will be significant updates to the game because I will probably just post a sequel instead. This will help to make sure that larger numbers of users on Newgrounds get to see the new content. However, I will continue to support bug fixes. Incomplete paths currently in the game will just be deleted and or redesigned to merge into other current paths.

I went ahead and opened a .com for 'hotdogtopus'. The logo is currently in design and I'm working on various swag to fundraise for other projects. It will serve more as a general blog and journal, while my posts here at Newgrounds will be more project related.

Try your best to survive the holidays with your in-laws! Yikes! And thanks for making Don't Forget the Bard! #17 for November!
