was feeling too good about myself so decided to visit our steam forums

a steam forum post reading: "Since you no longer love this game nor care. Maybe you the Devs could maybe sell off the rights? Maybe open this up to modders?"

please enjoy the very first (and very early) screenshot from our second game. there's a lot of this world still left to build, but i can promise that none of it will ever involve gen-AI.

a screenshot from a game. the shot looks out over a cliff, with green grass and seed-heads in the foreground. it's dark, in the early hours of the morning. the cloudless sky is a greeny-blue with smudges of pink and purple purple. unknown constellations. on the ground below the cliff, a forest sprawls into the foggy distance. a low saddle-hill rises in the distance.

2025 has seen some great video games, but there's one that took me by surprise, and i've not seen enough folks talk about: DEATH HOWL by @11bitstudios.bsky.social it's an earthy, primal, pixel-art deckbuilder that is NOT a roguelike, for once. it's a total breath of fresh air and i adore it.

cast n chill is an extremely beautiful and considered take on cozy fishing. fighting the fish feels realistic and satisfying, but it never relies on tension gauges or silly minigames. very happy to be able to set this up with the team over the ditch

girls tell me that it doesn't matter how small your dev team is, the important thing is how cohesive you are it's entirely possible to be a solo dev and still not be aligned to the core vision of your game

i don't know if we ever actually told jon this but when we served this at the launch party, the bouncer ((who was high, and kissing people's wrists instead of stamping them)) walked over and put his fist through it

the black salt christmas gift this year was a set of greenstone hooks; one for each of us, carved from the same stone in the style of the hook from the dredge logo. incredible

please please stop emailing the web store and complaining that the fish poster is has blurry text. those are eldritch symbols from beyond the realm of human comprehension not a printing error
