@starvortex.bsky.social launched into early access and we've got a Steam Bundle!

It's a deeply customizable ship-crafter inspired by the Action RPG greats. Super impressed with the ship design: You can defeat enemy factions to access their parts, even mix & match.

I’m really stoked to play my friend’s game The Quizard’s Domain when it releases!

Looks like it’s coming along great so far

Here's a little unedited clip of the ~30 sec Title Screen -> Main Menu -> Match Start process in TQD these days!

Been failing to throw together a current trailer for a solid 6 months now, so I thought I should at least put out SOMETHING that shows what I've been up to.

Don't mind the jank :)

A player shared her 10+ hour playtime on discord.
While chipping away at my game for over 7 years, people have been excited by the concept or individual pieces, but I've never seen someone REALLY pick up the spark and fall in love with what I've made... until now.
Holy shit this feels amazing 💜😭
