We weren't sure it was a good idea to launch the "How Many Dudes?" demo right before the Steam sale, but we figured no one else would be launching anything... It went better than I'd even hoped!

Chart from SteamDB.info showing concurrent players of "How Many Dudes?". It shows a classic daily cycle peaking around 400, ending with a ramp up to nearly 1000 today.

Preparing for the future... going to need this word a lot!

Screenshot of the word "enshitification" in an input field, with red squiggles claiming that it's not a word, and the menu open ready to add it to the dictionary.

Such a beautiful gamedev milestone: 100% complete localization! Still a few odds and ends to do, but getting translation done in time was one of my biggest anxieties for Crashlands 2. ANXIETY GONE. (the part related to this problem, anyway...)

A table showing 100% translation completion for every language supported by the game Crashlands 2 (Germain, Spanish (LATAM), French, Japanese, Brazilian Portuguese, Russian, and Chinese (Simplified and Traditional)).

Fun #gamedev tool I just prototyped: we can now upload screenshots to our string server to auto-extract text, making it easy to search for strings/translations found in screenshots! Super helpful for localization QA and player support.

Is this a prank?

A halved lemon, revealing an absurd pith to lemon ratio. So much pith. It's pithing me off.

I just keep having to make new GIFs for our Crashlands 2 page on Steam, so I tried out @tauri.app and managed to make a GUI version of the Steam GIFs Generator! Makes that little bit of #gamedev much easier. Nothing fancy, but works great! Get it here: github.com/bscotch/stea...

I will always be excited to see a praying mantis. So regal. So dashing.

New box art for Crashlands 2 just dropped! Huge props to Eric Hibbeler for the amazing work

Boxart for the game Crashlands 2 showing the main character, Flux, wielding her trust Space Wrench whilst standing triumphantly atop a smiling package. Also in frame are her alien buddies Oowee (a whale-like creature), JuiceBox (her robot companion), and others. The villain CORAA looks overhead. Splashes of pinks and purples abound.
