I am finally able to share the key art I produced for Hot Dogs, Horseshoes & Hand Grenades 2! Thanks so much to @rustltd.com for trusting me to do this. It was really fun and a huge honour working together to come up with an image to capture the vibes of this game 🌭

Digital illustration of a brutalist facility with six human-sized cartoon hot dogs armed with various guns posed amid gunfire, explosions, flying debris, and robots. The central hot dog figure is the protagonist and wears a blue hooded jacket over a shirt and tie, cargo pants, and glasses. It wields a pistol and a red scanner, and has a bagpack bursting with junk.

Has medicine come far enough that we can just lop off our pinky toes yet? I think it's time for us to be free from their tyranny...

That's awesome! Yeah, there is something magical about a real camera!

I've been really wanting to do the same - how have you been finding it? I'm on/off contemplating a flip phone and a point-and-shoot 😅

So - bad news. I totally spaced and forgot to include the @dunderbeckgame.com trailer in the #WeirdDaysJobSimulator2026 showcase. Good news: You can catch it here! Featuring the dulcet tones of Roy Samuelson www.imdb.com/name/nm19982... #ScreenshotSaturday #indiegames #gamedev

One last post before I get home - another from Cleveland - @dunderbeckgame.com has a whole storyline about a giant stone body bursting through the ground from underneath Cincinnati - so seeing partially submerged body parts felt very familiar ♥️ #GameDev #IndieGames #Worldbuilding

#Cleveland #Ohio has its meat murals down - this was (I think) a steakhouse near where I had dinner. Love me a good cleaver and a meat pun. #Research @dunderbeckgame.com @rustltd.com

Starting the trip back to #Rochester - one more hot dog before I hit the road! Giant tomato chunk aside, it was a decent Chicago dog - strolling the streets of St. Joseph, #Michigan #HotDog #Research #ProbablyNotABusinessExpense

So this is the second (and third) Sausage Tree I've seen - up in the Meijer Gardens in Grand Rapids. I didn't have plans for them in @dunderbeckgame.com , but I think there must be, now. I'm picturing an angry butcher dad, "What, do you think sausages grow on trees?!" #gamedev #indie #research

Lucas Miller @lucas.rustltd.com · 21/07/2026

The Douglas Root Beer Barrel - a root beer and hot dog restaurant that is shaped like a giant barrel. Working on #H3VR, @dunderbeckgame.com and @h3vr2.bsky.social - I've really grown attached to American roadside attractions - we need more restaurants that look like things! #research #worldbuilding

Lucas Miller @lucas.rustltd.com · 20/07/2026

What I want to know is, is it like the @redbull.com car? Can I just pop open that wiener and get a pipin' hot glizzy? #PopOpenThatWiener #HotDog #Glizzy

Lucas Miller @lucas.rustltd.com · 20/07/2026

I feel like this is going to sound made up for the sake of my #Dunderbeck #Research #Adventure, but I just saw the Oscar Mayer Wienermobile on the highway. We were going in different directions so I don't have a picture, but there are apparently only like six of them. So. That was pretty cool.

Lucas Miller @lucas.rustltd.com · 20/07/2026

Gouda, absolutely - bitterballen, unfortunately not. But they did have stroopwafel and salmiakki! And a giant wooden shoe, but I didn't get a picture of it. But I did get this one:

Lucas Miller @lucas.rustltd.com · 20/07/2026

At a Dutch Village in Michigan - this lady reminded me of @dunderbeckgame.com 's own egg seller lady, illustrated by @alexbpart.bsky.social - I think he nailed it. #GameDev #GameArt #IndieGames

I'm a method game developer, haha - just stop me if I start making real meat machines. It didn't go well for the original Dunderbeck

Lucas Miller @lucas.rustltd.com · 19/07/2026

I think Dunderbeck is like a sausage - it has a little bit of everything, so there's a little bit of Dunderbeck everywhere 😅

Babe, babe, babe - wake up. New GoFundMe dropped - "Buy Lucas a Weird McDonald's Tree." I have the perfect spot for it right behind me while I do video calls. Really, though, #Dunderbeck 's done something to my brain. I see weird food related ephemera and I'm like, "but I need that! For #research!"

Out of curiosity, I went to check and, H3VR has over 6000 mods on Thunderstore. That blew my mind. What was even wilder to me was that over 4000 of them have more than 1k downloads, and more than 50 have over 100k downloads. They have a cumulative 67M downloads. 🤯

H3VR capsule art from Thunderstore with text under it which indicates 6.1k packages and 67M downloads

Doing some research down in Columbus #Ohio at @sciencemuseum.bsky.social (COSI) - it's real cool of them to put in a @dunderbeckgame.com exhibit 😜 #MythicalCreatures #Unicorn #GameDev #IndieGames

*checks off box* good, good. That will do, then!

Reminder that there are browser extensions that let you see if a game on Steam/Itch.io was made with AI: kotaku.com/steam-ai-dis... Also, second reminder - @dunderbeckgame.com is made entirely by #human brains with human fingers and human hearts. #NoAI #IndieDev #GameDev @rustltd.com

Of course, because Dunderbeck cares about accessibility and has a misophonia-safe toggle, we have a version with a little less #BodyHorror soundcloud.com/lucas-miller... #Accessibility #Misophonia

Wha-wha-wha?! There is a real Cincinnati, Ohio? And @dunderbeckgame.com is being shown there? Well, if you are nearby, swing by Super Cincy this weekend to check out the upcoming demo (featuring the kick-butt music of @garrettrose.bsky.social ) before anyone else can! #IndieGames #Cincinnati #Cincy

Christina Aguilera's 1999 song, "Genie in a Bottle" wildly misunderstood the mythos, I think. If you ever find yourself rubbing the genie rather than the bottle, I believe that could not, categorically, be the "right way", baby. #mythology

Lucas Miller @lucas.rustltd.com · 18/03/2026

I really appreciate it! I'll keep chugging along - should have an updated demo soon™️ with some new music and tutorial, then hoping to button up the project this year.

Lucas Miller @lucas.rustltd.com · 18/03/2026

Hey, thank you so much for working through those bugs with me! That was amazingly helpful. And thank you for the nomination! (Curious, did you submit any feedback? We haven't seen any sort of word from IGF regarding judging so I was just wondering :P)

Lucas Miller @lucas.rustltd.com · 11/03/2026

The game is absolutely lacking pithy sandwiches - and rat poison.

010

Lucas Miller @lucas.rustltd.com · 05/03/2026

Though, the Dunderbeck art is at least somewhat representative of the game - that Megaman cover? Woof.

Lucas Miller @lucas.rustltd.com · 01/03/2026

5/5 gross is pretty accurate! ♥️

Lucas Miller @lucas.rustltd.com · 25/02/2026

Settings menus really are the worst - it's like an entirely different UI puzzle from any other kind of interface. I always find myself writing maybe more tools to get through it than I need - just in case!

Lucas Miller @lucas.rustltd.com · 25/02/2026

On the topic of new store assets, @alexbpart.bsky.social has been hard at work making character and monster art for @dunderbeckgame.com, and we now get to show off this amazing new banner art! Oh! And minor note - we're in NextFest - give us a wishlist and a comment! 💖🌭 #GameDev #IndieGames #Steam

Epic art showing the titular character, Dunderbeck, punching a Unicorn - teeth go flying. Behind this action there are several other supporting characters and monsters rushing to join the fray.

Lucas Miller @lucas.rustltd.com · 25/02/2026

There we go! Updated with library assets and devlog assets.

Lucas Miller @lucas.rustltd.com · 25/02/2026

Oh shoot! This doesn't have the library assets for Steam - I'll get those in later 😅 - so imagine that there is also a Library Hero graphic there, too.

It's not much, but I hope it saves someone a few minutes! :)

I find myself hunting for my Steam/Itch.io Illustrator template once a month - so I’m sharing it! If you're a #IndieDev also trapped in the world of Adobe looking to export all your store assets in bulk, grab it here: drive.google.com/file/d/1AnEG... #GameArt #Marketing #NextFest #Steam #Itchio

A screenshot of an Adobe Illustrator workspace displaying a template for PC game storefront assets. The dark gray canvas features seven blank white artboards of various sizes and aspect ratios, organized into two rows and labeled for bulk export. The top row includes five Steam-specific templates: Header Capsule, Main Capsule, Small Capsule, Vertical Capsule, and Background; the bottom row contains two templates labeled ItchIO_Cover and ItchIO_Banner. The Artboards panel on the left side of the screen displays the names and sequence of seven assets.

Makes sense! Start with the finger foods, and then who doesn't love the cherry tomato style burst of a good eyeball, haha - I love it! Also, I feel like there is some play on "eyes bigger than your stomach" here, somewhere.
