Ring of Pain, Winnie’s Hole, The Dungeon Experience
Just learned about the game Bad Rats, which has apparently become a meme Steam gift?

Launched in 2009, started blowing up 4 years later.

I need to know more...

Can you spot the typo?
It's been in the game and demo the whole time, never mentioned. Even got translated.

Asked for game design feedback on Reddit and someone replied to share how Ring of Pain handled chaining events...

These moments make the internet great🤣

Satisfied with this. Good game.

What does the inverse white border heart mean?

Got there :)

If you write instructions it'd be nice to note the scoring metric ahead of time, thought it might be diamonds.

Ended with 40 diamonds but hadn't bought any Health in the shop.

Progress comparison or our guts cutaway.

Also adds more layers as you go deeper.

Share your Mundane Milestones.

People usually post fun gamedev milestones like big wishlist traction... Well NOT HERE! I'm here for the intersection of dull and momentous.

Treat me to your most fancy yet boring numbers, and witness this: Our 1000th project task! 😱

I often feel compelled to make little updates for art cohesion - Is this even noticeable? Is it better?

We do also have these boys, currently unused 😅

What should we name them?

Some days I need to remind myself progress was made, it just may not have been the things I'd hoped to focus on that day...

Usually it's the days I'm stuck in accounts and spreadsheets... but it's okay because yesterday I got to make these boys
