Hey @badastroza
UPVOTED. I recently commented on your newest post, but wanted to go wayyy back and read your intro.
I'm happy that you're getting success on Steemit - it will only continue for writers like yourself who take the time to give readers something of quality and value that we can benefit from. I love reading about the history of game development - even though I'm just a casual gamer that's still kicking about with a 2DS (I haven't taken the Switch plunge yet, and the last dedicated gaming console I've owned was a PS2 (not counting purchasing a used PS1 to relive some Crash Bandicoot with my partner lol).
Keep up the great writing!
Nick
Awesome! Thanks for the encouraging words - it's really appreciated it.
I have a huge soft spot for retro game dev stories. Many of these games/companies/people's work featured huge for me as I was growing up, and it's really awesome to go back to those times and discuss these classics with their creators.
Part nostalgia, part nerd-satisfaction, part pure interest, and hey - being able to publish it here acting as both writer, editor and publisher and able to reap some financial rewards? Well, it's all pretty positive if you ask me.
Thanks for the great comment!
No probs, man.
I totally agree - it's a brilliant forum to discuss all things anyone could possibly conceive. Retro gaming is immensely popular and having interviews with dudes directly involved at the production level is unreal.
Being paid on here is great - I'm slightly confused with my ebs and floes of success on Steemit with articles that I've been publishing. Some of my work (that I don't think is my greatest) has been well received, while the short stories that I'v been putting out haven't quite got the traction I was hoping for.
Either way, my work's getting more exposure here than sitting on my harddrive or posted at my (now dormant) website.
Thanks again,
Nick
