    I love thst dungeon crawler of yours and i'm thankful for free DLCs, but last of them on steam mentions, and i quote, "Keep Gaslamp Games off of the streets! We're running out of matches to sell and will soon be forced to start gnawing on our own legs.".
    Is it really that bad or it's a joke and you bathing in monies? I'm gonna buy it anyway cause i'd like to try communist class, just want to be clear. Are you ok, Gaslamp Games?

    It's not that bad, but they aren't swimming in money either.

    4 out of 5 dermatologists agree: Bathing in money will dry out your skin!

    I wish they wouldn't joke about something like this. I would really hate to see Gaslamp go if it ever happens. Heaven forfend that such a thing happen. No other game has dragged me in more completely than Dungeons of Dredmor. I swear I'll cry if they have to close up shop. :( [/QQ]

    All they gotta do is keep up the bugfixes, pop out a $3 expansion pack once in a while, keep working on Odin, which I will buy no matter what it is, and they will be fine.

    Wizardlands sold well, and I believe the game is keeping the lights on. Moar bugfixes!

    wizardlands was ranked number 8 on steams top seller list, even though the expansion pack was only a few dollars, they sold quite allot probably. They dont bathe in money, only wash their hands with it

    Probably it's there because "buy this new expansion, bring more glory to Krong and sacrifice more lutefisk to the Lutefisk god!" might offend some more religious people. :)

    This way (almost) nobody gets offended and you may think that you do a good thing (not that it isn't).

    It was a joke, folks ;) DoD sold very well, and Nicholas posted somewhere else that they recouped the cost of making Wizardlands.
    They have 14 or so employees now and are working on the next big game (Odin, of course)!

    That's a relief, thank you Daynab.

    I've pretty much already bought Dredmor and all expansions for everyone on my Christmas card list, good to know they're not really in trouble.

    Yeah, I think it's been said that DoD has really, really been quite the success for Gaslamp. Maybe not Minecraft success (i no guys lol lets charge £15 for an alpha of a game where theres plenty of free clones lol and no way for people to try an updated version before they buy lol were geniusssez), but definitely better than the majority of indies.

    Also, don't forget to buy your copy of the Dredmor soundtrack! :D

    Nicholas sows confusion and reaps chaos. Especially when filling in our store descriptions; It is the way of things.

    Edit: Fixed word use.

    Yes, we know. It's the way he does things, and if someone asked me, I'd say it's because of his sleep deprivation.

    But thank you for clearing that up for other readers.

    <pedantic-beating> "sows" </pedantic-beating>, unless Nicholas has found a way to make apparel out of raw confusion?

    I constantly feel like I am stealing from Gaslamp given how much time I've dumped into Dredmor. I would love to give even more $$$ if I could.
