I cannot believe I'm actually writing these words: Wanderstop is OUT NOW!!

Although it's difficult to communicate just how meaningful this moment is to me, I've done my best to put my thoughts into a personal note. Thank you, and I hope you enjoy the game 💖

Today is the launch of Wanderstop! I've been writing/directing this game for many years, pouring my absolute heart and soul into it. I put everything I had into it, left absolutely nothing on the table, and in the end created something that I'm deeply proud of.

Many of you are fans of my previous works, The Stanley Parable and The Beginner's Guide, and obviously Wanderstop is a completely different sort of game! To be honest it's kind of terrifying, for there to be such expectations based on my previous work and to know that some people will inevitably be disappointed with this new direction. At the same time, this is the game I absolutely knew without a doubt that I needed to make. When I went to the creative wellspring to ask for inspiration, this project is what I received. It is deeply personal to me, and I can only ask that you give it a shot.

But this project was also an incredible group effort, a phenomenal collaboration amongst artists. I am so grateful to every member of the Ivy Road team, their hard work and dedication is the entire reason this game exists. To every one of them, thank you thank you thank you from the bottom of my heart. And lastly thank you to Annapurna for your unwavering belief in this game over the years, you gave us far more time and resources than we deserved and for that I will be eternally grateful.

Alright, I'm gonna go have a cup of tea.

Announcing my career pivot into just writing amazon reviews

checked up on reviews for my Mastering Community Management book and wtf @hellocakebread.bsky.social I'm dying LMFAOOO

Before reading this book I knew absolutely nothing about marketing or community management, I was a simpleton, a dullard, a baby, perhaps even stupider than a baby, a truly pathetic man, an empty shell, an emotional dumpster, callous and weak and gasping for relevance, fearful of the true me deep down, furious that it's only a narrow band of nakedly selfish insecurities which keeps me trudging endlessly through this unbearable racket day in and day out and day in and day out forever

You did such an incredible job Kimberly, I can't tell you how grateful I am that we got you for this role. Hearing you voice her was like meeting her for the first time. Truly couldn't have imagined Alta being portrayed any other way 💖

And Alexander saw that there were still some worlds left to conquer, and so he pumped his fist, and yelled “Fuck yes!! Fuck yes!!“

If I wanna watch Combo Breaker this weekend, is there some sort of official multistream that makes it easy to see all of the games that are currently live?

This is a bizarre question: what year did Cotton Eye Joe become super popular in the US? My memory tells me I'd never heard it until about 2002 when it suddenly became a staple of every school dance and birthday party, so I was pretty confused to just now learn that it actually came out in 1994.

I'm thrilled to announce that the SECOND Wanderstop album by @c418.org is out now! This one is called Wanderstop FM, and it's a collection of all the music that plays on the shop's radio. It clocks in at over 2 hours of original music (in addition to the 3 hours of the main OST)

Great! Thank you again for your patience 🙏🏻

Davey Wreden @hellocakebread.bsky.social · Apr 3

Hey we pushed a patch this morning that SHOULD fix your game. Apologies for the delay as we sorted it out, let me know if for some reason it still isn't working.

Davey Wreden @hellocakebread.bsky.social · Mar 28

Here are many of Wanderstop's original character concepts and designs made by our incredible concept artist!

Nathalie F @loopyyylupe.bsky.social · Mar 28

A big thread of #Wanderstop concept art I made! There's a lot, so I'm just picking out specifics 1/8

Character designs, from 2019

Concept art of the Demonhunter from Wanderstop. They're a young stoic adult, black, with a poofy afro covering their eyes. They wear a long leather trenchcoat with their hood over their head, a yellow buttonup, ribbon tie, black pants, short steel toe boots. They carry a ton of weapons passed down to them.

Concept art of Gerald from Wanderstop. He is a dorky middle-aged black dad dressed up as a knight. He has a knight helmet, chest armor, and steel boots. His helmet crest is a broom. He wears a hawaiian shirt under the armor and a red tie. He is wearing spandex bike shorts.

Concept art of Ren from Wanderstop. He is a large, muscular tan white man holding a big sword. He wears a barbarian skull mask with large animal fur trailing behind it. He is shirtless, with baggy earth tone pants and leather sandals. He wears a metal scale arm gauntlet. He wears a large ripped teal cape with a tooth necklace. There is a second illustration of him without the mask. His mouth is covered by his cape, he has long black hair, and his left eye is scarred shut.

Hi there, really sorry about this! Any chance you've been playing on steam deck?

We've patched Wanderstop with a few fixes, including motion sickness due to camera movement and weeds running rampant in the clearing when you're idle.

Ivy Road @ivyroadgames.bsky.social · Mar 26

Fresh patch notes! Some highlights:

💞 Adjusted camera behavior to help with motion sickness
🎥 Fixed a bug that caused players to encounter a black screen during cinematics
🌱 Added an AFK timer so weeds won't take over the clearing

...and more!🐛
