I've been running a Reddit ad all week and nobody has noticed the comments are enabled. Let's see how long this lasts.

Bringing the real main island back.

I'm sorry but the Steam Machine isn't actually a cube. It is however, annoyingly close and I demand to know why!

Making Penguin Festival's VR gameplay trailer was really challenging, but also fun and rewarding. Here's a little postmortem for my own posterity but also in case anyone else finds it helpful!

After letting Steam notify wishlisters about my demo, deletions have increased. Most were from a year ago. I guess they don't like the direction the game took 🤷‍♂️

If anyone is curious, I'm currently using this asset for the music balls. It was already designed to be played in different orders. Maybe a placeholder or permanent. We'll see.

The song at the end of the demo is my own God forsaken creation. There will be more 👀

If you didn't receive an invitation for Animal Fest you can appeal in Steamworks. Mine was overlooked, but I just explained there were no appropriate animal tags to choose from.

Whelm won't have achievements(or a HUD for that matter). You can blame modern software and websites with their incessant popups. I have been radicalised.
for the record: I develop games for people who play games to have fun

I can neither confirm nor deny this.

Did anyone finish the demo? Some surprisingly long play times here. It only takes about 5 minutes to reach the end if you know what to do.

Fixed a few bugs with the barrels and catapult. Sorry for any inconvenience this may have caused. Pretty awesome how fast Steam let's us update a build though.

This account smells like the ocean, but not in a good way.
This account smells like fresh sawdust, boiled linseed oil and dried mealworms.
This account smells like fresh espresso and wet dog.

Might do something crazy like finish the demo tonight.
