I consider myself pretty well versed in the ways of the Animal Well, but the first user-created map, Puzzle Well, is kinda kicking my ass @furyforged.bsky.social created a great video on how you can download and play this map as well as create your own! www.youtube.com/watch?v=NxcO...

747. ANIMAL WELL: DESIGN WORKS 👉 www.thevideogamelibrary.org/book/animal-... @lostincult.co.uk @bigmode.bsky.social @animalwell.bsky.social #Gaming #Booksky #AnimalWell #VideoGames
Vibrant, neon-colored illustration from Animal Well Design Works featuring a stylized wolf, ostrich, seahorse, and lizard standing on tall columns in a surreal, cosmic environment. In the center stands a small orange blob-like character with big eyes, surrounded by swirling patterns, hanging orbs, and geometric symbols in purple, green, and pink hues against a black background.

Developed over seven years by the remarkably talented Billy Basso, Animal Well is a development story for the ages—one that deserves to be detailed, documented, and celebrated for years to come. From long-lost prototypes to the unique challenges of solo development, this volume captures the spirit of creativity and preserves it for future generations—long after the internet fades, much like the game itself.


Revered for both its surface-level charm and the secrets buried deep within, Animal Well has inspired Animal Well: Design Works—a richly crafted celebration by Lost In Cult. Drawing on the game’s mystery and atmosphere, this 200+ page hardback book is accompanied by deluxe extras that channel the essence of what makes the experience so memorable.


Created in collaboration with Billy Basso, Dan Adelman, and the Bigmode team, Animal Well: Design Works offers a deep dive into the game’s development journey. With insights from Billy, Dan, Leah, and Dunkey, the book showcases everything from early builds and developmental screenshots to the creative process and feedback loops that shaped this indie gem. It’s a definitive tribute to one of the most innovative indie games in recent memory.

I like the game Star of Providence, and at PAX West 2024, I played its newest version at a booth. Apparently, getting a high score on it entered me into a raffle, and I won a free figurine from @bigmode.bsky.social, and I received it today, and it's a spaceship drinking from a juice box.
