If you ever feel bad about botching your indie game release, remember that you'll never be as bad as Ubisoft. They literally forgot to upload the actual game.

Exciting news! A Week in Paradise was featured on NPR's "Best Games of 2026 so Far" list. I am shocked and grateful to be included with these fantastic games! Thank you so much to Fidelholtz for the kind review, and everyone for their continued support! 💜 www.npr.org/2026/07/21/n...

been trying to relax and get some IRL things done but it's so weird to not have "the project" to work on. It's both relieving and disorienting somehow. That being said I'm going to be helping a small team with their game while I'm cooking up a foundation for my NEXT game :) Hint: 🌱

So RPGMakerWeb.com is closing their forum with no plans to archive it. I don't believe it's a good idea to so willfully throw away a decade of tools, resources, and answers that a massive base of RPG Maker devs rely on. Let them know if you feel the same... forums.rpgmakerweb.com/threads/welc...
