I'm back home after presenting Diorama Break at PAX West; the show was a big success, launching us from complete unknowns to almost 1000 wishlists on Steam! To celebrate our new followers, I thought I’d write up a quick retrospective while the trip is still fresh in my mind, for those curious about what something like this looks like from the developer’s POV.

まどろみトラベル - kyuko

It’s been a while, everyone.

This time, Madoromi Travel has reached 1,000 copies sold!

It seems that the boost in recognition from the release of our next title,

and the distribution of download cards at Comic Market 106,

gave us a big push all at once.

I’m very happy that we were able to deliver drowsiness to so many people.

It’s all thanks to your support.

Thank you very much, and I look forward to your continued support.
