Not every game can achieve the heights of "warm rocks?"

I was testing Black Ice today and discovered this on your art....
Those 2 people who beat it deserve a medal.

It's my birthday today! 🎉
I'd really appreciate it if you could share my art!❤️
Maybe they're starting to get concerned about the insider trading implications.
With estimated civilian deaths already more than 1000, it's hard to imagine the scale of destruction.
Your next game will be distributed on punch cards that you crafted by hand.
An LLM-first OS that was also developed exclusively by LLMs does sound like the quintessential 2026 product though.
We're making a game where you play a courier rider in 13th century Mongolia
No combat, just you, the horse(s) you've tamed, bred and trained and the vast wilderness.
Would you play this?
(crowd chanting "labor revolution" gets ominously louder)
Trying to write corporate dystopia sci-fi and continously getting one-upped by a far stupider reality than anything I would dare to write.
never before seen levels of coding apathy
A Black Ice mission from Machiavelli's Pizza, a front for assassins. The mission text reads: "A rival firm, The Chinese Room, is taking our clients. But AIs control all their contracts. Only humans should be able to order takeout. Destroy their shipment before delivery."
Justin Hendrix: "Anthropic and the Pentagon are in an ongoing dispute over what Reuters describes as "usage restrictions for military purposes" — limits the AI company says are necessary. The government has given the company a Friday deadline to relent. Here’s what we know." Josh Marshall: "the 'restrictions' are worth stating explicitly. Anthropic doesn't want its AI to be used to make decisions about whether to kill someone without some human oversight. Hegseth says he won't accept that restriction."
The same week I released a mission about pizza delivering assassins whose honor is offended because their rival restaurant assassins let AI assign their targets, that has become a plot point in real life.

Our next game is Verminsteel!
You're a bird with a broadsword, kicking thousands of fascists so hard they fly into the sun
PLEASE go wishlist it, it'll make me really happy and help me stop low-key panicking and stuff: store.steampowered.com/app/4352280/... #indiegame #indiedev #gamedev
I helped with the Verminsteel trailer design so I also get to bask in every wishlist add.
If you ever enjoyed Earth Defense Force, Dynasty Warriors, or the Redwall books... this checks all those boxes.
Thought these were paintings until I read the details. Incredible costume design!

Oh good, both episodes written by @greatdismal.bsky.social made the list.
I've always felt like I have to offer paid work, especially since I'm making games about labor strikes.
In lieu of direct pay, you could always offer a small % of post-launch net for a period that's proportional to the length of the internship. That way it can still scale with their contributions.
some benevolent cyberpunk for you
Screenshot of Black Ice job board for DIYcrypt. A blue soldering iron touches a circuit board on the left sidebar while 2 people tinker with equipment in a cluttered workshop in the top right header image.
DIYcrypt are homebrew techies, software pirates, and device jailbreakers. They try to keep tech alive past corporate expiration dates, discontinued services, and escalating subscription models. But with their narrow focus, they're not too interested in revolution.
Screenshot of Black Ice job board for X_X, the anarchist hackers. Their job board is decorated with people wearing neon masks of various bright colors, each with X for eyes and a jagged line for a smile, resembling the X_X logo.
X_X are anarchist hackers of self-interest, pursuing their amusements and ransomware schemes. They could be a formidable ally if they could be convinced to believe in something or stand for anything.
Black Ice update adds job boards for new hacker factions, offering delivery and payload events through the volcano. This is setting up the final act where you coordinate groups with different goals and cultures into an organized resistance.

I love how kind our players' comments are every time I release an update. Including one person telling me I can finally sleep. store.steampowered.com/news/app/311...
All your VOYposting is just making us buy the Voyager roguelike.
A purple and cyan mural of a Korean woman with synthetic lines across her face. A noisy pattern of grids and Korean characters cover the background. The call to action at the bottom reads "FREE DAON". Graffiti text to the side from other hackers speculates on where she is and how to rescue her.
Thanks to @lkcreations.art, several graffiti murals of panic() hackers will start spreading across the world, setting up a mission to free their imprisoned cyborg leader. More graffiti art is coming in the next patches, including from Ben Nicholas and @dom2d.bsky.social!
Screenshot from Black Ice showing the job board for panic(). Multicolored beams of light spill from the edge of the screen, illuminating the faces of seven stylish young people. Several have faces covered in piercings and augmentations.
panic() are the culture jammers: the artists, poets, and idealists resisting the conformity of product cycles with their own art and propaganda. This update also starts adding their graffiti art throughout the world...
