And realistically I will make a third one eventually. maybe in like two years. But having a catalogue of your own games to show off to people, and occasionally pick back up, that's what it's all about. It's the perfect game for YOU because YOU made it!

having made two games is kinda crazy. One could be a fluke but two is a pattern. I don't particularly care that they're not super popular, they are both well-received with their intended audiences and that's awesome

Another new patch, this time with a lot of balance changes. store.steampowered.com/news/app/332...

i really need to get used to people taking a bit longer to beat NBTP. i'm just worried. But also I'm out of a huge project now so also a tiny bit burnt out and I should probably wait it out at least a little lol Seriously though go play NBTP it's great

That is true, but it would still take an extra .5 seconds for the wider Internet to catch on, so it'd be worth.

Okay, I've sent 110 people keys for Nothing Beyond This Point. Feels like a lot but apparently it's not even that many... Please let me know if yours doesn't work, I can easily replace it. Let's hope something comes out of this!

Update: the game has moved to release a week earlier, on March 24-25th instead. Read why (don't worry, it's not long): store.steampowered.com/news/app/332...

Hi everyone! I'll keep it short. A LOT of Metroidvanias are releasing on March 31st/April 1st (Nemo, Grime 2, Tombwater, Legacy of Kain...), and I don't want my little game to be in that chaotic clust...

Not a roguelike, it's a Metroidvania! Thanks for the compliment either way.

so NBTP is done (go wishlist it etc), but I just... don't want to market it. It's a great game, I just don't like marketing. I'll just send the emails to the youtubers/streamers in February/March and probably call it there.

Due to a surge in AI-generated content, I feel the need to mention that everything in Nothing Beyond This Point is human-made (by me) and I would never use generative AI to make assets, code, videos, or text. #antiai #gamedev #afterimagefromslaythespireisgoodthoughandcanstay

Spoke to a number of devs about how, in the face of CEOs claiming gen-AI is the future, their declaration of being genAI free is making waves.
