Ash & Adam's Games (Play the Existential Treads demo!) @ashandadamsgames.bsky.social · 1d

My beard is so long now that it trails after my head. Overlapping action on my beard. This is Adam, by the way, not Ash. Ash's beard is tightly maintained. He's made the choice to not look like an asshole. Is that the correct choice? Who's to say?

Anyway here's some Existential Treads sketches.

shootin' and haulin' for #screenshotsaturday

it's kinda funny to put the apostrophe instead of just writing the full word, right? Same number of characters. It's closer to how I actually speak but it's so odd in text! Anyway try our demo: store.steampowered.com/app/3580340/...

Surprisingly Fun Blend of Base Defense and Vehicle Shooter!

Easily one of my favorite songs in any game I've worked on, and I've been doing this professionally since '04. Love this song.

Ash and I were talking yesterday about how the demo today feels better than the demo we released a few weeks ago; that we're iterating, polishing, etc and pretty much every 2 days we have something that's notably better. I love this zone. Feels great to be here.

And don't forget to check out Chris' AMAZING soundtrack to Existential Treads. oselkasound.bandcamp.com/album/existe...

Ash and I routinely say to each other in slack, "I can't believe the music in our game sounds this good". Hire Chris.

We're going to be updating this demo over the next few weeks with new stuff, quality of life fixes, bug fixes, etc. If you want to easily keep tabs on that stuff, join the discord (link in the demo). And as always, if you like the demo, consider wishlisting or telling a pal. It's a HUGE help to us.🤘
