Developer Updates. April 17, 2013.

"Hey everyone, we’ve taken the veil off of for our latest game. I’m sorry to say it’s not Don’t Piss Your Pants, but we think it’s just as cool.

Our newest game is called Rogue Legacy, a procedurally-generated “Rogue-Lite” with an in-depth heritage system. We’re super proud of it, but right now we need your help to get it on Steam.

Uni passed his final follow-up test, and he has fully recovered from his cystitis! It’s been a long few months, and now we’re just hoping it never comes back. Thank you all so much for your kind words and for caring about Uni! It really meant a lot to us!

Word of mouth is basically the only way small team projects can gain any traction. People hate ads with a passion, and ignore creators when they pitch their own work. But people will give something a chance when a person they know says they like something
