Anything for my pookie coffee machine

The coffee machine is asking for "organic material" to produce "awake juice." Do you provide beans or unplug the problem entirely? Oh, and it'll also take a finger if you'd like.

The best thing about being a tiny indie solo developer making a game like I.T Never Ends is by far the voice actors, musicians and artists who have contributed to the project. Like Nikola Joka who is rebuilding all the backgrounds in full 3D. This is going to be a wild patch.

The demo for I.T Never Ends has been on Steam for just about a month now. 27/27 reviewers so far have left a positive review!

Think a job sim where you do I.T support for a cursed company sounds fun?

I'm not an artist either and I don't think only artists get to have an opinion. Looking at the full size/big screen image the title IS very brigght, but I hope it works better in the context of the steam store? What do you think?

I had a new piece commissioned. The new style took a while to finish, but it is verified human-made, it looks much cooler, and it does a significantly better job reflecting the actual game. I'm really happy about it!

What do you think of the new look?

I just replaced the capsule art for I.T. Never Ends.

The truth is, I really liked the old design. But the artist could not guarantee it was made without AI assistance or show proper WIP sketches, and that is absolutely non-negotiable for me and my games.

here's the old capsule - new piece below

experimenting with something massive. 🤯

Nikola Joka (IG: nikola.does.3d ) is working on turning the pixel art backgrounds of I.T. Never Ends into fully dynamic 3D scenes!

please for the love of god try the demo out:

Watching everyone play the demo showed that handling IT support with a live chat is a blast.

I just added a proper Twitch integration for the Steam version. Now your chat can vote on card choices directly!

I cut together a short promo for I.T. Never Ends!

Big thanks to www.twitch.tv/craftingchao... for the clips. She said the game gave her corporate flashbacks. That is the exact horror I was going for.

I'm making a game about working IT support, and a player just used the ingame demo feedback form to ask me for literal IT support.

My man submitted a genuine VPN help request directly into the public Discord channel we use game feedback.

unhinged behavior

If I was the big boss in a game where the player was about to hit me with their sword, I would simply shoot them with my gun.

I am thrilled to announce that I.T. Never Ends will be part of InterfaceX26.

This Steam event is dedicated to Fake OS and Interface Sims, which is the perfect home for this project. I cannot wait for everyone to see what doing I.T in hell is like!

I am so happy to see I.T. Never Ends on this list! The work you and @jumpybit.bsky.social are doing sounds amazing and I am honored to be a part of it. Let's go!!

I.T Never Ends is a game about the horrors of being a Systems Administrator at a very strange company.

In my latest devlog, I dive into why the entire game is literally a Javascript website

Overwhelmed (in a good way). I.T NEVER ENDS has been on itch's front page the past few days and the response has been wild. Plus itch just approved my custom CSS. The whole page is now one big terminal.Thank you. 🙏

DEVLOG — THANK YOU & PAGE GLOW-UP - I.T Never Ends
dadbodgames.itch.io/it-never-end...

Helped in no small part by an astonishing number of cool vtubers like yourself who seem, as a demographic, to have taken a particular liking to the demo 😅❤️

@planetoffinks.bsky.social, I know you're busy, but I wanted you to know that WTNV is a massive tonal inspiration for my game, I.T Never Ends, which just hit the itch.io/games front page of popular games.

Bluesky, can we tag him/repost to help him see the world he inspired?

I.T Never Ends by Dadbod Games Make binary decisions to survive the night shift in this dark comedy desktop simulator.

OMG!

I.T Never Ends is currently featured on the @itch.io front page of Most Popular games!

Seeing it up there is surreal. Huge thanks to every single person who has played, rated, or shared the game!
Having a hard time catching my breath.

OTOH since the demo dropped more than 2000 people have added the game to their wishlist!

So excited for them to get to experience the full game later this year!

The Demo Paradox:
New players find and wishlist the game.
Existing wishlisters play it and realize it's not for them.

Since the demo dropped, we’ve had 197 wishlist removals.
To those folks: Thank you for giving it a shot!

the demo is live here:

@katieandcatburger.bsky.social reviewed my game I.T Never Ends and called it "Night Vale meets Reigns."

As a fan, being compared to planetoffinks.bsky.social is the highest compliment I could get. 👁️📁

We appreciate the comparison to Night Vale - it is, after all, appropriate. However, we note with some concern that this individual has stopped solving tickets in favor of creating video content.

There are tickets to close. Always tickets to close.

#indiegame #indiedev #welcometonightvale

Thank you so much for playing!

Being mentioned in the same breath as WTNV is such a huge thing; they're one of the main thematic inspirations for the entire game and it's amazing to see people pick up on that!

Your stuff is great. Liked and reshared and let me know if I can do anything to help!

gang, I'm real excited about this one

It all started with a spacebar and some very industrious ants. 🐜👷‍♂️

This was the first PoC card ever written for I.T NEVER ENDS: a simple report about a civilization in a keyboard. Since then, the colony has grown into 2,000+ cards and over 10 hours of story!

Thank YOU for putting together such a fun experience! You best believe im streaming it on day 1
