Avernum 6 Selling Well, Series May Continue

As we reported back in November, the Macintosh version of Spiderweb Software's Avernum 6 is now available for purchase.  There was little to no fanfare surrounding the release, so company founder Jeff Vogel felt it was necessary to pen a new blog entry about the matter:
Spiderweb Software just released our newest game for the Mac, Avernum 6. And when I say Just Released, I mean I made it available about ten days ago. I haven't blogged about it yet because I am really, really terrible at PR.

But this isn't the worst of it. I am sending press releases to web sites today too. Why didn't I send them a week ago, like a sensible business owner? I forgot.

I mean, it's sort of expected that programmers and designers aren't so great at PR, but sometimes I'm amazed that I remember to breathe.

Anyway, Avernum 6. Despite my efforts, it is doing very well. So far, it is selling better than Avernum 5. Which sold better than Avernum 4. Which itself sold fantastically well. So I am pleased about that.

...

...I have a really cool idea for Avernum Zero. Basically a one-off prequel set in the years before the first game. Maybe in four or five years, if I think I can come up with something actually good, I'll go back to the well one more time.
Avernum Zero, you say? I don't think anyone would complain if the series lived on.
