That means a lot hearing that, thank you 💕
Unfortunately, at least in the near future, Steam isn't an option for me unless I have a publisher. Because of my complicated tax situation, I would need to hire an expensive international tax lawyer to help me figure out how to fill out all the paperwork correctly for Steamworks (even though I would be releasing the game for free). This on top of the $100 fee to release a game is just a lot more money than I can spare right now, particularly as I just lost my job. To release on Steam, I would need someone else that has a Steamworks account to let me publish under them.
