Today I've made the difficult decision to push The Button Effect's launch back to Q1 2027 – there's a lot left to tweak, test and polish. I need more time. ⌛️ store.steampowered.com/news/app/229...

I've been stubborn about this logo for at least a year – but have finally caved to the overwhelming frequency of BUTT comments. Well played Reddit. You win! 😂 Change your logo 1 week before Steam Next Fest if you'd like to find out how many different assets need updating! 👍 #indiedev #gamedev

I recently tried the demo of this on Steam, and I’m very excited for the release. It gave me the same feeling as Antichamber, where things start simple but become increasingly interesting and creative in a really satisfying way.

games are made by people with complex feelings and dumb thoughts and complicated relationships in different political climates with the urge to create and the need to play and we should want to see all of that in videogames

Figured I'd make a pinned post that covers both the fact that I am an artist and that I'm very interested in indies and puzzle games. I also have a Steam curator page (which I should update more), in case anybody has overlapping interests store.steampowered.com/curator/2700...
