Wanting to say thank you to those who are subscribed to this newsletter, it means a lot to me. Sharing the knowledge and experience of what I've been finding with a wider audience is somewhat therapeutic. Knowing that I can help just one person is enough.

I also wanted to have in this newsletter that the community forums are open and can be found at Indie Basement and are there for anyone looking for assistance, tutorials, or wanting to find an indie game to enjoy.
