Another micropatch this week! This one fixes a niche bug that could crash online games if every player had thorns and died at once. Also improves online stability in general.

Watched a lot of streams today and noticed some visual artifacts as a result of the Steam Deck compatibility changes I made. Today I released Micropatch 1.5.2 to fix some of those issues. Nothing major and will be compatible with older versions. steamcommunity.com/games/160342...

Got an email today about a broken text string in Doomsday, so I went ahead and pushed a teeny tiny patch to correct it. Won't affect Switch (that's handled by other people and a bigger process) but that's all the update is.

I forgot my charger so this ended up being a pretty short preview- but thanks to everyone who came along. Feeling very positive about what I have so far! I'm going to make an effort to come out to some more PIG Squad coworking nights this year too, so no worries if you missed it.

For those of you in the Portland area- I'll be at PIGCon this weekend! Assuming I can snag some space on the floor on Sunday, I've also got a few unannounced things to play with. Come over and say hi if you get the chance!

Somewhere out there is an indie dev who just delayed their game after Silksong's launch just to immediately get hit by Hades 2.

You can get away with architecting kind of shitty when it comes to coding but you absolutely cannot when it comes to narrative writing and it always cooks me at the start of every project.

Withholding payouts and deleting games from user's libraries is simply unacceptable. Payment processors also look like they're in dire need of a political check on their influence.

I have finally finished reviewing all 500 auditions to the voice roster! I don't have the time or resources for individual feedback, but figured I'd catalogue some of my thoughts here for those it might help.

If I wanted to be a bigot I'd demonstrate my superiority by knocking down a privileged class, like white senators, instead of going after the already downtrodden - which is loser mentality.

Valve recently evaluated Doomsday for Steam Deck compatibility! To make things a little easier, I did an extra text pass to increase the font size of some harder to read elements. Full Patch Notes below store.steampowered.com/news/app/160...

Doomsday's original design was heavily inspired by the Arkham Horror board game. Up until about 6 months before launch you would draw random start of turn cards to impact the board every turn. This is how I shared the feature with the game's UI artist.

The demo quality I got for the voice roster is waaaay higher than I was expecting and what I've seen historically. Through about 70/500. I do wish more VA's had creature demos! Videogames usually have lots of little guys that need voicing. I'll have to ask for that next time.

Have loved my time with Expedition 33 but very mixed in the story. It's incredible in so many ways and absolutely missed the mark in so many others - it doesn't get much more indie in terms of structure for both good and bad.

Alright, starting to actually assemble the voice roster! Thanks everyone who submitted! Probably about 500 submissions altogether- and it's really staggering how good some of you have got. This is not going to be an easy set of auditions.
