waiting on steam to hopefully approve the game as steam deck verified! Have gone back and forth with them a few times, the last round of iterations was just focused on keyboard prompts showing up when you had a controller. Not counting on it for the very nearby update, but it woulda been nice lol

I've been having a hard time lately and haven't felt like myself just due to all of what life is right now, really wanted to find a good game that would help center me and relax, and this was it. The whole game feels very personal, I really truely adore this little game. I may or may not have teared up quite a bit on the final day.

Thank you so much for making this, I hope you find everything your looking for in your adventures.

Lil tiny bug patch out to fix the issue when you had the cat customization open and then the day ended causing the interface to stay on the screen! Also tested the [secret cameo character] that will be coming in the next update alongside proper controller icons in game!

Seeing someone say "Makes me want to make my own game" in a review for DBS makes me so happy!! Go and make cool art! I know that anyone can make a game, it just takes a bit of grit and willingness to learn & make some scrappy games at first.

Good news: Disappearing furniture bug should be fixed in the July update! Other news: I'm not quite sure why the bug was happening, only the after effects. For some reason it was giving the same name to 2 sibling nodes which it is never supposed to do thread of notes in case anyone has input!

This is exactly why I've loved having Dungeon Bodega Simulator in this bundle. Getting laid of in 2025 was isolating and disheartening. The solidarity of this effort has felt the exact opposite. Devs supporting each other and showing up. This is what our industry is about!

Extremely proud to be featured on this list, thank you Aftermath and Nathan! I believe GenAI steals so much joy out of the process of creating art, a process I find deeply sacred. Not to mention the fact its trained on stolen data and has negatively impacted communities and my peers.

He's only gone and written 2,500 more words about how game devs feel about generative AI. Latest piece quotes around two dozen different people with an indie background. When asked how they feel about gen AI, not one, but two devs responded, "Fuck that shit." www.gamesradar.com/games/it-cre...

gamesradar.com

"It creates lesser games": Indie game studios are supposed to love generative AI, so why do the 25 devs I spoke to avoid it?

"So it may be slightly faster, and a lot worse, but it's also more expensive? Neat"
