I played Wunder for about 4 hours last night, the game is very close to feeling like a full game.
Big balancing issues at the start that I'm gonna work on today, but I think a demo being done for the 10th-ish is doable, then I'll just improve that demo for a while

veryyyy this, it's why one of my goals this year is to write 50 steam reviews and why I'll be writing one on day 1 of Tearscape coming out!!
RE that RT.. it’s wild how steam reviews are still so damn important to getting visibility. If you play and like indie games, the most generous and helpful thing you can do is spend an hour popping positive reviews onto anything you like with <500 or so reviews.

I got a new newsletter out if you're interested in how Wunder dev is going, how fast money is running out and and if I'm making progress on the 2026 goals I mentioned last time.

Very this
"Ethical AI" does not exist. There is no reality where you can have generative AI that's "ethically trained". There are ZERO AI models trained ethically, and there will never be any.
The term has been made up by people who want a pass on using AI. You don't get that pass, slop peddlers.

Tearscape launches in 4 DAYS ⏳
There are 30 different Tokens that change your play style.
Let me demonstrate the power of Scale of Greed, a Token that uses health for movement when out of stamina.
Use this to... uh... die of exhaustion. Your enemy will never expect this.

If wunder is a success the next project is gonna be the little godot jrpg, getting lost in that for 6 months sounds like a dream!

In 100 years ICE will be one of the many boogiemen of the past, and somewhere in the world people will point at their current state-sanctioned bullies and say "you don't get it, this isn't like ICE at all, stop calling them ICE-wannabees, this is totally different!" and once again they will be wrong

I'm gonna release a very experimental co-op game this year and I keep psyching myself out that it's too weird, but then I remember that weird games are the games I love? I'm not sure why I struggle to give myself permission to make weird art shit when it's what I appreciate most from the other side

Unvarnished truth. This is the one area where I give a crap about games being taken seriously ‘as an artform’.. because as it stands, funds are limited, and frankly select for charlatans.
If you’re unwilling to lie about a 10x return, you’re fucked. So liars get funded

The UK videogames sector seems to be facing a duality:
On one hand, it is trying to convince investors that it's a high-growth, low-risk sector so that it raises financing.
On the other hand, it is trying to convince government that it's suffering from market failure, so it receives funding. 1/9
