Introducing the Red & Blue Bundle.

As huge fans of the Myst series and @cyan.com, this bundle means so much to us at Dogubomb. It's a real full-circle moment for us to be able to share the spotlight with the game that first illuminated our imaginations.

Hahah I reckon you could finish it in around 10 hours! It's very escape room-ey puzzles, definitely your jam 😉

We are looking for a Godot consultant to help us investigate and fix an issue with long load times on iOS. It seems like Godot 4.5's shader baker might not be working on iOS only.
If you're interested, please email [email protected] with your experience and rates.

I came across 10 (!!!) in a charity shop. Unfortunately I opened them all and got nothing but doubles haha. If you're collecting, I'd be happy to ship you a bunch of cards (though they are currently in a box as I'm moving apartment)

My alarm jingle just came on the cafe speakers where I'm sitting working at and I had a real "I've been asleep this whole time, wake up" jolt of horror.
