Disastr_Blastr is now whitelisted by AVG!
Whats up friends! I know some of you have had trouble playing Disastr_Blastr with AVG running, and for that I apologize. I really did not expect to encounter so much trouble from AV programs like this, and it took some effort to work it out... but I am happy to report to you now that AVG has officially whitelisted Disastr_Blastr, so hopefully from this point forward those of you guys who are AVG users (which also includes me) will not have any further trouble playing the game. Thanks for your patience everyone—happy blasting. :)

Welcome Players!
Hi guys! Welcome to the Disastr_Blastr community!
I have been noticing a big spike in Steam activations over the last few weeks, and I just want to personally thank you guys for checking out Disastr_Blastr. This is my first released title as an indie designer, and it really means a lot to see so many Steam players giving it a play, so thank you!!!
If you guys have the time, please take a minute to post a review here on Steam! It doesn't have to be 20 pages on why Disastr_Blastr is awesome (unless you really want to write that!), just a sentence or two with your impressions on the game would be wonderful.
If you look around the Steam store page you will see there are actually something like 28 reviews, almost all of them positive, however... the only reviews that actually contribute to a game's official review score on Steam are the ones written by players like you guys. Every single review really helps, and I promise to personally respond to each and every one! Thank you guys so much for your support, I really appreciate it. :)
I hope you guys enjoy the game! Best of luck and happy blasting!!!

Disastr_Blastr Indie Film in Production...
Whats up Steam friends!
As you guys might know, there is a Disastr_Blastr independent film currently in the works! It is a big project, and honestly between school, normal life, and various other creative pursuits it has been tricky finding time to work on it. Today I shelved everything else for a few hours and captured some gameplay from old versions of Disastr_Blastr starting at the very beginning (January 2013). Got about 30 to 40 minutes of video so far, just from the first few months of a 4-year dev cycle!
Nicholas Campbell and his crew have been busy digitizing all the home video footage from the last several years. This essentially means sitting around watching me talk to a camera for 19 hours, a fate I wouldn't really wish on anyone but... such is the road to indie film glory. :)
Per usual I have no real idea how long this project will take. I think finishing by Summer 2017 is a halfway reasonable goal, but you know how these things go. :)
Take care guys, talk to you again soon!

If you haven't already done so, it would be *the coolest* if you guys could post a quick review over on the Disastr_Blastr Community page. The game has been very well received with numerous positive reviews on YouTube and Twitch, and 8/9 player recommendations... Please take a minute to share your thoughts on Disastr_Blastr and help it along the road to *Overwhelmingly Positive* status!
As always, thanks very much for your support guys! Stay strong and blast on!!! :)
