Triple Strike now DRM-free on Itch!
While Amazon will remain (for now) the only place to purchase a physical copy of Triple Strike, I’ve decided to add itch.io as one of the vendors. This will allow the ebook to be purchased directly from the Akula Games webpage, as well as provide a place to get a DRM-free version of the ebook (in .epub format).
In my personal opinion, the physical versions of the books remain the best experience for reading. I say this having spent many an hour working to get the page bleed just right, and putting the images at the most natural, seamless places along the page breaks – not to mention the additional art created just for the hard copies.
But I do also love this little banner Itch so nicely created to embed in my webpage!
If you do purchase through Itch, be sure to leave me a comment – would love to chat – and of course any ratings/reviews on Amazon are appreciated as always :).
