Hey you! I'm ready to announce the launch date for A Short Hike! If you've read the title of this post, then probably you already know that it's coming out July 30th! Since the early Humble Original release, I've been working on an update called... A Short Hike: The Extra Mile I had a bunch of ideas that didn't make it into the first version, so I used this opportunity to squeeze a bit more in!…
