Born Punk
Born Punk needs your help, dear Bornholmeans!
Some of you may be familiar with such posts: indie devs requesting/asking/begging/screeching for those of you who have already played their game review it on Steam to help it with discoverability.
Well, this is one of those posts!
We're actually not lacking reviews per se - we have 32 already, which is great for a game of our reach. 'Unfortunately', most of these reviews are from our kickstarter backers - which don't count for Steam's review summary that appears on the top of our store page.
Therefore, I'd like to humbly ask us to leave Born Punk a review - it doesn't matter if it's positive or negative. If you love or loved the game, awesome, that makes us very happy (obviously!). If you didn't, we're also happy about criticism to improve our little baby, or our next baby. Either way, reviews from you lovely folks would be very much appreciated.
Thanks for reading, and may Flash be with you!

Linux and macOS versions now live!
I'm happy to announce that we were able to finish our Linux and macOS versions ahead of time; they are now available to be downloaded. This is another great milestone to get Born Punk out to people who have chosen to stay outside the Windows eco-system.
Please note that there is a known issue with Steam: for some people, 64-bit macOS applications are not registering as 64-bit, and Steam puts out a 32-bit warning. That warning can be safely ignored.
And as far as Linux goes; there's a million different distros out there, with a million different configurations. Should something not work right out of the box for you, please feel free to contact us and we'll try to help and/or listen!
Obviously, we hope that no one will encounter any problems whatsoever (hey, one is allowed to dream!), and we wish you a lot of fun in the Born Punk universe.
Cheers and have a lovely day,
Falko and the Insert Disk 22 team

Born Punk has launched!
Today is a day of celebration at Insert Disk 22. After three and a half years, a Kickstarter campaign, applying for arts grants, developing through good times and bad times (globally bad times, that is), and finally trying to shout our name from the rooftops as loudly as we possibly can, it is done. Born Punk is out!
Was it worth it?
Oh, it definitely was. Seeing the first reactions on Youtube and twitch, reading the first Steam reviews, looking at what our kickstarter backers have to say so far... it looks like we did well! Which of course is a tremendous relief; nobody wants their beloved project to meet disapproval, after all. Apparently, that's not a fate Born Punk will have to suffer - and we're happy that the first players are able to immerse themselves in 'Bornholmverse'!
I would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone involved during the production of the game. Our whole team, our kickstarter backers, the fine people who decided to wishlist our game before release, our amazing voice actors, the Steam support team and so many more! The journey to our launch is now over, and another journey begins. What kind of journey? Well, I hope to be able to shed light on that a few weeks from today.
To you, our players, I extend my gratitude for giving our little game a try. With so many big titles competing for your hard-earned money, and with so many other smaller games like ours vying for attention, it is an honour that you have decided to click on our title.
I wish you a lot of fun in Bornholm, and when you see Mariposa, Eevi and Flash, do tell them we're proud of them!
Have a wonderful day,
Falko from Insert Disk 22
