phubans @phubans.bsky.social · 14/08/2026This event is at risk of cancellation if we don't hit enough entrants. We've only got 7 signed up so far, and we need 9 more to run a tournament. Can we pull it off by August 22nd? 😱 001
phubans @phubans.bsky.social · 12/08/2026We're looking for entrants for our 4th MADHOUSE VS Tournament on August 22nd! You don't need to own the game, you just need a controller and Steam and we'll invite you to the remote play session when your team is up. Cash prizes and giveaways! Reply if interested :) 010

phubans @phubans.bsky.social · 29/07/2026It's kind of staggering when I lay out every area I've developed for Act 1 -- the first half of MADHOUSE's Story Mode -- so far. This project was definitely over-scoped for a solo dev, but it's my passion and working on this game probably saved my life. 0172
phubans @phubans.bsky.social · 20/07/2026This is Clyde, one of the playable characters in MADHOUSE VS. I drew this in 5 minutes because I'm not an illustrator but you get the EYE-dea... 020
phubans @phubans.bsky.social · 20/07/2026300 units sold on 1433 wishlists... a conversion rate that's honestly higher than it should be for a game with almost no marketing budget. MADHOUSE's VS mode has ~5 people playing daily, telling their friends, pulling in more. Small numbers, but it's the kind of slow-build I'm betting on. 041
phubans @phubans.bsky.social · 15/07/2026MADHOUSE is getting a pretty slick Tournament Mode in the next update, which lets you run a tournament for up to 24 players. Check out this devlog where I go over the features and show you how to use it! www.youtube.com/watch?v=tRko...youtube.comMADHOUSE Tournament Mode OverviewYouTube video by phubans 041
phubans @phubans.bsky.social · 03/07/2026Call me crazy, but I feel like having a smaller, extremely dedicated fanbase of people that love your game is just as validating as having a popular game. My game in its current state has a 4~5 hour story campaign, but these players have gone well beyond that. 0112

phubans @phubans.bsky.social · 23/06/2026With MADHOUSE tournaments becoming a regular thing, I decided to implement an in-game Tournament Mode that makes setting up tournaments a bit easier... but that starts with assigning players to teams. Previously the game only supported two teams, now there are 12. Which one would you be on? 000
phubans @phubans.bsky.social · 21/06/2026Had a blast with yesterday's MADHOUSE Tournament, but then I came back a few hours later and was pleasantly surprised to see a bunch of people in the Discord doing some late night VS. I'm seeing more people playing this game in their free time, and that's an incredible feeling! #indiegame #indiedev 0114
phubans @phubans.bsky.social · 20/06/2026Another MADHOUSE VS TOURNAMENT is starting RIGHT NOW! Come and watch this game as it was truly meant to be played! #indiegame #tournament 🩸🩸🩸 054
phubans @phubans.bsky.social · 19/06/2026Check out this triple kill I got off a single Sniper Rifle in MADHOUSE last night... Those players didn't even know what hit 'em 😄 #indiegame #pvp 083
phubans @phubans.bsky.social · 18/06/2026There's a MADHOUSE Tournament streaming this Saturday, but we're still 5 players short of reaching 16. You don't need the game to participate, just a gamepad and a Steam account. You can win game codes and Steam gift cards! Please give me your strength! 😌🙏 #indiegame #gamedev #horrorgame #pvp 1225
phubans @phubans.bsky.social · 04/06/2026It's still not perfect but it's an improvement... Problem is, it looks better than everything else now! So I have to update those graphics, too 😅 1130
phubans @phubans.bsky.social · 03/06/2026I've been working on trying to redesign the treetops for MADHOUSE all day. I hate it. Making treetops is the single most difficult thing I've ever tried to do with pixel art. I've been at these for hours and this is the best I've got, and they still don't look completely right. Nightmarish! 1100

Reposted by phubansDerek Yu @mossmouth.bsky.social · 27/05/2026Just finished playing through Paul's big update to MADHOUSE, which neatly concludes the first half of Story Mode.

phubans @phubans.bsky.social · 22/05/2026Turns out finding 16 people to play a game for free is a lot harder than you'd think! We've been stuck at 11 and this is going down tomorrow, but we don't have enough players for a proper tournament 😬 013

phubans @phubans.bsky.social · 14/05/2026MADHOUSE features a cryptid hunting mini game where you snap photos of rarely encountered cryptids with a polaroid camera... Anybody recognize this one? 100
phubans @phubans.bsky.social · 11/05/2026Someone told me that they couldn't find MADHOUSE when they search for it on Steam... For those who don't own the game, is it indexing in your Steam searching for "madhouse"? It's the game in pic related. 220
phubans @phubans.bsky.social · 09/05/2026It's easy to say that indies are bad at marketing their games, but what they don't tell you is how much time, effort, and work goes into marketing, and how rarely that effort actually converts to anything beneficial. You can't expect creative people to acquiesce to bad ROI. 020

phubans @phubans.bsky.social · 02/05/2026Actually, I've changed my mind about scaling the price to reflect the content as this game grows in Early Access. While in Early Access, this game will be $4.99 until it goes out of Early Access. Period. That's my promise; I want this to be accessible to players at a low entry cost. Enjoy! 030
