Hi all - I'm Mark Cooke, the CEO of Shiny Shoe, the creators of Monster Train. We released on May 21 and have been in the global top seller list on Steam since. The game currently has a user rating of "overwhelmingly positive", the highest possible rating on Steam.

I've been a reader of HN for years and I've seen some members of this community mention it in Tweets that they are addicted to the game so I figured I'd post it here and see if there is any interest/questions.

AMA!

Some thoughts:

Slay the Spire, an obvious inspiration for this game, is my favorite game of this last few years. This game builds on that formula in a meaningful way, and seems like fun so far. What makes Slay the Spire so special, though, is the steady polish (some technical, some new content, lots of balance tweaks) applied over the last few years. Here's to hoping this game will follow that part of the inspiration also.
