Feedback welcome! Hope you enjoy it! There's probably bugs in the story, as it got a bit complex!
📌 Saving this post: please tell me what your favorite indie game is:
Return of the Obra Dinn is a perfect game for me. Tactical Breach Wizards was so much fun.
Everyone in YouTube music video comment sections--"My son died in my arms, but then I heard this song as he took his last breath and I felt happy. Thank you for this masterpiece."
Over the holidays I updated my very old #Unity game to URP. RenderGraph with custom Render Passes is so cool.
we're also on sale with Unity!

Gripe time: I hate how all the showstoppers now are just "build an elaborate sculpture." This isn't supposed to be a show about construction skills.

You should wishlist my game to get it to 2000. Think how great it would be if you helped make a solo indie dev happy ❤️

Oh no... I have the urge to make a 2d platformer... Maybe if I keep it super tiny in scope... But then again... The mechanics could complement each other if I add... And that ties into... Oh no...

At least the rest of the month but may be extended. A lot of folks are playing Silksong and I'm happy to give everyone time to not feel rushed.

As game dev I often wonder if my intuition about the Steam market matches reality. So I did a small game to test it: Guess how many reviews a random game has. You can now play it too on steamle.com
Expedition 33 is amazing. Except Simon, fuck that guy.
