Here's a little #TeaseYaGame for you!
What could the Conductor possibly want? Is it good or bad? Will he reveal the true destination of the last human train?

Wishlist #DreadlineExpress, a psychological horror metroidbrania, on Steam to find out!

The card album is the most critical game mechanic in #DreadlineExpress. I tend to make it as self-explanatory as possible. However, if you get stuck, there is this little IKEA-like manual on one of the pages.

You remember when I accidentally sent Thor a month-old, bugged version of #DreadlineExpress to stream instead of the actual one? I do! Funny times.

In case you missed @piratesoftware.live stream on Sunday, the link is in the reply.

I have a synchronization meeting with my team every Monday. This is what my agenda looked like this time, summarizing last week. We are so on rails! Mostly...

Last evening at the GDS 2025 conference in Prague, #DreadlineExpress won the Editors' Choice award! I'll share more high-quality photos as soon as I have them. What's happening?! I'm stunned!

Cheers, #gamedev folks! Tell me how things are going for you.

Me? I've rebuilt the settings menu, optimized an important plot point and started work on one of the most pivotal pieces of dialogue in #DreadlineExpress.

Play SOMA!
If you don't like horror, try SOMA.
There is a good chance the game will change you.
I've recently started my fourth playthrough.

Love you, @frictionalgames.bsky.social.

The legendary Czech game VLAK, from 1993, has just arrived on Steam. Many years ago, I spent far too much time playing it in the after-school programming club. It may even have influenced what I'm doing now... who knows.

Czech & Slovak Games Week on Steam is coming to an end. The melancholy-filled Dreadline Express is a perfect fit for saying goodbye.

Very excited about the new Frankenstein movie! I just recently finished the original novel. It's incredible how many ideas resonated with me in a work that is two hundred years old. I believe @realgdt.bsky.social will do it great justice!

My purchases today have a strikingly similar vibe. Congratulations @funza15.bsky.social on the release of Hlína. What a charming, handmade adventure game! It's also time to finally catch up and play Threshold by @pataloon.bsky.social.

Dreadline Express is riding for the @devgamm.bsky.social Awards 2025!
Yesterday, my game was accepted into the competition for a chance to win part of the $100,000 prize pool. More importantly, though, it is a chance to gain visibility.

Fingers crossed!

Hey! My friends at Perun Creative just released a deep dive into their upcoming project, Kromlech. Pay particular attention to the exquisite helmets crafted from intricately stitched human faces.
Delightful!

#DreadlineExpress on a (small) silver screen on Gamer Pie festival in Brno. I even managed to exceed the one-hour time slot — a strange flex, but there was still plenty to talk about. The game's content is growing!

In just a few hours, I will be doing live gameplay commentary on Gamer Pie in Brno! I'm not nervous. You are nervous!
