Slumber Realm is the first video game which is fully compatible with sleeping. Play on Steam or in your literal dreams. 5 days.

that’s always the question: do you meticulously remove them before serving or make it a more interactive meal

post 4 #gamedev screenshots from your unfinished/abandoned projects.

maybe that means no more $1000 passes + more accessible?

Prune is coming to Steam on September 25th! That's like, less than a week away! store.steampowered.com/app/3903490/...

You're in a doctor's waiting room and there's 1 or 2 seats left. Shortly after sitting down next to somebody, all the seats open up except for that person next to you. Do you: A) awkwardly stay put where you are or B) awkwardly move to another seat

oh wow, haven't seen this CD for decades. Feel like this and Enya was a big part of my childhood, haha. Just put me in a laser light show at the science center with this on and I'm happy.

Been slowly working my way through “Why Fathers Cry At Night” which contains poetry, prose, and recipes. Something about publishing this “unfinished” recipe really got to me.

For its 10th anniversary, Prune is making the leap from mobile to PC. How many of you remember this quiet, meditative experience from 2015? "A puzzle game about cultivating growth and the joy of letting go."

oh hey, I do remember you, as well as Code 7! Feels so long ago now, but good times!

Joel McDonald @mcdjoel.bsky.social · 11/08/2025

Oh, and while I'm here, happy 3rd birthday to Hindsight as well. You're beautiful in your own way. :)

Joel McDonald @mcdjoel.bsky.social · 11/08/2025

Maybe it'll only reach a small handful of players, but if it can help a couple more people slow down for a bit, or reflect on what matters, or find a little peace, it's totally worth it.

Joel McDonald @mcdjoel.bsky.social · 11/08/2025

So I decided it felt worth doing--worth putting on Steam, worth putting myself out there just a little bit, worth finally getting a Bluesky account (hah).

Joel McDonald @mcdjoel.bsky.social · 11/08/2025

But after some reflection I realized it's not really about me. It's about doing justice to this beautiful thing outside of me that I was lucky enough to cultivate.

Joel McDonald @mcdjoel.bsky.social · 11/08/2025

Still, I debated whether I should do anything for the anniversary. The thought of releasing it on Steam kinda scared me--what if no one cares, what if it gets swallowed up by the algorithms?

Joel McDonald @mcdjoel.bsky.social · 11/08/2025

I'm not usually one to reminisce, but this time I couldn't help it. Prune changed my life. It felt like something bigger than me, like something I uncovered. I was shocked by how many people it reached--and grateful that, in some small way, it helped them find a little quiet in their busy lives.

Joel McDonald @mcdjoel.bsky.social · 11/08/2025

Not sure I'm gonna win against the algorithms here, but would appreciate your wishlists on Steam: store.steampowered.com/app/3903490/... (it means the game has more of chance to get in front of new players)

Prune, my digital bonsai game about cultivating what matters, just turned 10! In an age of endlessly fractured attention, I still believe it has something to offer--now more than ever. So to celebrate, I'm finally bringing it to PC. www.youtube.com/watch?v=2v7c...
