Same, I really wanted to make it happen – but this will be better for the game in the long run :)

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...

If I seem inactive here... it's because I'm working hard to finish up my first-person puzzle game! 🧩 store.steampowered.com/app/2299940/...

The Button Effect on Steam
Every button has a purpose. In this short, minimalist first-person puzzler you explore a dense, interwoven architecture – a museum, full of hidden connections and spatial insights.

I liked the old logo – but the obvious readability issue aside, what convinced me to change it was the effect it had on people's assumptions about the game's genre and tone. The bigger issue: "I assumed it was a parody game"

Tim (Frycandle) @frycandle.bsky.social · 09/06/2026
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.
