Quote from: JSH on Thu 22/01/2015 13:01:26Yeah, I should probably postpone until 2016 to have a chance at the AGS awards

Yeah, you do that - especially since I'm expecting to win the 2015 award for Sexiest Female Lead

Hi guys, I'm excited to announce that I've signed a publishing agreement with Raw Fury Games!

Check them out here: http://rawfury.com/

This have made me confident enough to resign and go full time with my one man studio, Clifftop Games. My last day at my current employer is a week from now. What this means is that a 2015 release of Kathy Rain is more likely, but of course still not guaranteed in any way as it depends on many different factors.

However, I can divulge that the initial release will be for Windows and Mac, and that the game will be available on Steam and most other common digital distribution channels. No physical copies are planned at this stage. Lastly, Kathy Rain is planned to be exhibited at a few conventions this spring/summer, stay tuned for more information!

You have my best wishes, awe-struck respect, and seething jealousy! I'm sure a lot of the community can relate to these feelings at reading of your life change!

Damn it Joel, that is some awesome news, both publisher and going "living the dream" !

JSH · Sat 25/04/2015 11:22:58

Thanks guys a ton guys, really appreaciate the support!

It makes me feel a bit safer about my decision, as I'm currently rapidly shifting between ecstacy and terror!

I also set up some social media for Clifftop Games. For those of you who like what I'm doing, it would be utterly fantastic if you would connect on either or both, to help spread awareness of the game. I'm gonna need all the help I can get!

How about Steam Greenlight ? It's a very popular digital platform and i'm sure your game would be greenlit in a day or two. Haven't you considered it ? Congratulations by the way

That's not necessary, Raw Fury is a verified publisher on steam which allows us to fully bypass the greenlight process

Thanks!

Can we hope to see this game on GOG?

Definitely, we will strive to have the game available on all major digital distribution channels

From the few screenshots and design campaign, this does look like an very professional indie game. Gives me a great sense of inspiration, dedication, and patience.

Thanks man, it was a blast! I had a bunch of fantastic interviews with the European gaming press, the related media coverage should pop up in the coming weeks!

The next big thing is that Kathy Rain was selected for the Indie MEGABOOTH at PAX PRIME in Seattle!
http://indiemegabooth.com/project/kathy-rain/

We'll be there for the entire convention, so if you happen to be in the area between August 28th and August 31st, make sure to stop by the booth and try the game!
