As soon as Starbrew Station is in good shape, I'm making some owl-themed cars for Fragile Frontier. Every car inspired by a different owl, every car with its' own goofy handling. #owls #fragileFrontier #delivery

Here's my Godot game pitch for today:
Death Stranding but with Owls and 4-player co-op

It's a bird, it's a delivery truck, it's Fragile Frontier!

Lost Rabbit Digital is working on a new co-op game where you serve as one of the brave owls who delivers cargo too heavy, too dangerous or too fragile to fly up to your neighbors in nearby roosts.

Was running focus testing for our new unrelated game, Starbrew Station and one of the folks we hired online recognized our studio from our last game, Spud Customs, had beaten Spud Customs, and loved it! Nice game dev moment. #gameDev #indieGameDev

Tumblefire Multiplayer is in private beta on Steam as of this week.

We'll be moving into open beta once we're satisfied with networked performance for looting, shooting, burning, climbing, and at least 15 NPCs from each faction at once!

Spent all day yesterday bug-testing, performance is great, I am just chasing down some final bugs with sprite layering, production stats in topbar not updating as expected, and the run modifiers not showing their bonus/penalty on hover!

Working on some hand-painted 3D printed models of the Jovian Barista for the top performing Station Managers in Starbrew Station…

I’ll be sending them out to top streamers and our leaderboard winners for prestige counts and decks constructed, stay tuned!

After 7 YEARS without an update, I went and re-built the first Steam game I ever published in Godot 4.5.

It's a sliding puzzle game you WON'T want to play in a crowded office, presenting Bikini Heaven 1.3.12!

I can't say much, but I can say there's a major FREE update cooking for Tumblefire and we'll be releasing it on the "beta" branch once it's ready for playtesting. Every game system from the original Tumblefire design document, 100 years of Tumblefire.

No, that's not NBA 2K26 you're seeing, it's a secret basketball minigame in Starbrew Station that gives your station a permanent producton bonus based on your high score.

Perhaps sliding puzzles will be another minigame within Starbrew Station?

230 units? Not a frame dropped, no sweat.

Thanks to playtester suggestions and a few days of refactoring, Starbrew 0.9.30 runs about 8x faster on laptops, and you can go into the THOUSANDS of units with almost no performance degradation.

Funny enough, we have more playtesters than wishlists on Steam this week, over 200 playtesters and 152 wishlists!

I LOVE seeing how many folks in different countries are liking Starbrew...

Amazing feedback today for Starbrew, in 0.9.3 we've moved deck construction into space buoys that you can investigate to see how much coffee you'll need to pay, and can click to start construction! #godot #gameDev #starbrewStation #indieDev

Can we stop with the caricatures and Islamophobia? Thanks.
A tweet from Lis Smith says: “NYC deserves so much better than this. What a disgraceful end to this race.” It quotes journalist Jeff Coltin, who describes receiving an “anti-Mamdani push poll” that mixes legitimate policy questions (like a millionaires tax) with Islamophobic and antisemitic talking points. The attached image shows screenshots of survey questions on political issues.
