The demo for Laugh Track is now available! store.steampowered.com/app/3765430/...

Thank you again to everyone out there! Another year down, another million raised, and so many people who will be helped because of what you've done with us this year and every other! We couldn't do this without you, and through all the laughs and the tears, we wouldn't want it any other way...

Penny Larceny will be in the next Steam sale, at least. We've got that going for us for the time being. But show no fealty to any storefront or corporation and always be wary.

Hey, @itch.io , is our game still shadowbanned because it's queer and anticapitalist and payment processors hate that? Yes, it is? Okay, then we're not participating in your Black Friday Sale you just emailed about. What's the point when you want to pretend our stories don't exist?

You don't NEED to read/play it all to enjoy any one particular story! But... if you want some spoilers, we've got a document for ya. docs.google.com/document/d/1...

Considering Fiction Factory Games technically only has one employee, I'm trying to figure out how I can fire myself for unionizing and then delay my own game and still make billions of sales. Like, that seems to be the gravy train.

(I swear this is a corporate account and not my personal snark box)
