Thanks to our community: Duskers 2.0 now has over 20K wishlists on Steam. I've never made a sequel but it's amazing to have 10K views and over 300 comments on our first update video with launch so far away <3

People like John Graham (via EGG) and Max McGuire (via Stray Signal) are shining a light into the darkness surrounding small team/indie game dev funding in 2026 🔦 I feel like a survivor that just got rescued (to use a Duskers 2.0 analogy).

This game works so well as a chess game but also as a standalone, unique tactics roguelike thing. Very crunchy and satisfying! Also shares a designer with @beastieball.bsky.social, Damian, and I can vouch that guy knows a thing or two on how to make a fun game

Such a joy to see Below the Crown launch 1.0 today. Genuinely awesome dungeon crawler meets chess that is utterly addictive. As always, was a pleasure writing the story with Misfits Attic, and I can’t wait to see what players think of the weird story we concocted!

In the past, community features tended to come last in development. But for Below the Crown, I'm glad we added them in early so that I can interact with the community. Even if that means realizing I'm not the best player even before launch 🙃
