My first title, Little Rocket Lab, has now been out for a week, and it's been huge for myself and @nomorerobots.io. We're at over 80,000 players, and a 93% positive rating on steam.

I wanted to share some of what guided Little Rocket Lab's development, so that maybe it could be helpful to others 🧵:

I've been trying to articulate why the fawning, complimentary responses from AI chatbots feel so insidious to me. I've finally figured out how to explain it.

Wrote a long piece on how current model training and design choices threaten our critical thinking skills: maggieappleton.com/ai-enlighten...

New video for your eyes and ears! Here's a live performance of a new song that I debuted at the Prairie Wires Festival a few weeks back, with my Eurorack synth handling the arpeggios:

Somehow we had a successful game launch in 2025: A thread 🧵

We launched Little Rocket Lab this week, and it's been mega for us. Which is amazing, because well, the industry is bad right now!

So I wanna go through the things we did, in the hope that something here can be helpful to someone here

Really enjoying this game Graeme. I've just arrived at the Ruby Vault. The setting is giving me "Out of this World" vibes.

Y'all should play Graeme's new game! It's a cozy puzzle game with beautiful art and soothing music. Made in under 72 hours using Godot. #gamedev #ld58

Made in <72 hours for #LD58. It's a short puzzler with a mini-narrative based on the theme of "Collector". This was so fun to make, and I'm really proud of the result 😊
