The morphs in Keeper use distance fields as an (implicit) surface representation, which makes it possible to control the distance at which the surface should lie. In other words, it’s easy to deflate or inflate objects, and meshes become easily ‘moldable’.

Glad to be announcing a new game, and happy that it is something experimental and weird: a tiny, tense, turn-based strategy game about merging units into spectacular combinations, and then watching them evaporate thousands of bugs.

I'm really working to make Wild Cosmos a polished experience and hope players will notice.
If you like what I make, simply sharing it around helps greatly.
I don't have a dedicated budget for the game, I'm making it in my free time, this game could be my stepping stone for future projects.

Update: I've been doing it on a weekly basis! A lot more consistent and learned how much of it is more a mental challenge then physical.
Today I set the pace and it went alright! 5Km in under 40mins with this being the 2nd time doing this. Hoping to keep this up on a weekly basis.

Hey #GameDev, do me a favor and boost this skeet from @bmann.ca! It'd be great to get the games industry involved in this early verification process. 🥰
Hey @bsky.app team -- @trezy.codes runs a full verification process with the Games Industry Labeler.
Would be great to onboard him as a community verifier sooner rather than later.

For the last month I have done very little but think about, talk about, and play Blue Prince. It's sort of like a cross between Slay the Spire and Outer Wilds — you progress by gaining knowledge — but it's also much more than that.
It is one of the most incredible games I have played in my life.

I am playing through the entirety of DOOM 2016 and donating one dollar for each demon I kill. All the money will go to fighting for immigrant justice. The choice of game probably has nothing to do with how I feel about ICE.
