Less than a year later - here we go! @steampowered.com announces its new hardware.
#indiedev, if you're ignoring controller support in your game, it's time to re-think. Steam is now a home console.

Just a small update to my game's logo and capsule images (giving them more breathing room, replacing old cube with a mouse that's in the game now) resulted in significant uptick in my daily wishlist gain.
I was putting it off since a year. Let that be a lesson to all you

Blunt Blade and a Hundred Halls is a cozy, wholesome first-person slasher roguelite adventure game where a boy meets a friendly devil who lives in his basement walls and decides to feed him with his all-time favorite food: freshly sourced dungeon freak meat (yum!).

GBA-era pixel art was exceptional in many cases. With high-fidelity display that wouldn't blur things like CRT the artists had more room for detail. The greater capability to display color art in (relatively) high resolution gave the art a place to shine.
GBA launched 24 years ago. Still impresses.

We've done a whoopsie linking assets and now the game is full of people in underwear. 100% leaving it that way.

Snake in the Dark update!
My current demo build has been approved for release! I'm not hitting that green button just yet, though. Plenty to do with the generous playtest feedback I got.
The demo WILL BE available for Sokoban Fest, starting April 21st. That means... two weeks. Oh my.

I wanted to make a joke about it, but I think this actually is a serious issue.
Game like A Game About Digging a Hole or Powerwash Simulator, or even Cookie Clicker should come with a trigger warning.
Games like this trigger my ADHD/OCD subroutines and I become a slave to the game until completion.

My day-job project is almost at launch date, so I have less time for solo-deving.
Just played a couple of levels of my Snake in the Dark after a break from development and I'm second-guessing my color choices.
I feel like the game could use more color and clarity.
WDYT?

Ever played DoomRL (Doom: The Roguelike)? It's spiritual successor - Jupiter Hell - was called a "turn-based triumph" by @screenrant.bsky.social and placed 2nd on @gamerant.bsky.social list of top-10 roguelike dungeon-crawlers.
Today it's launching on Nintendo Switch.
Can't recommend it enough!

Doomed moons of Jupiter,
Shotguns, chainsaws, and demons...
Jupiter Hell arrives on #NintendoSwitch tomorrow!

Check out Bonehold on Steam, and consider wishlisting if you're into dungeon crawling and Heretic aesthetics!

What's in it? Free2Play The Sims 4 with 160k reviews and all of the paid products with very few ~50% mixed reviews.

Five years ago to the day ELDERBORN launched in full on Steam.
The game was prematurely shoved into Early Access by a publisher with whom Hyperstrange split before the full release.
When I was leaving the Head of Publishing position at Hyperstrange last year, ELDERBORN was at 300 000+ copies sold.
