Well, that just happened. I have to postpone the release of Soul Chained on Steam. All because of Grundle. I'm not kidding: Steam needs more time to inspect his pixels to make sure there's nothing too... inappropriate. Stay tuned. Soul Chained is still coming very soon.

If you're going to survive Purgatory, you'd better know what you're fighting with. ⚔️ Since you're literally chained to a friend (or a giant ball), I wanted combat to be more than just swinging a sword. #gamedev #indiegame #gaming #multiplayer

After reviewing shareholder feedback (demo players), I discovered a critical flaw in my game’s retention system... So I built a revolutionary solution. “Quit to Main Menu.” youtu.be/ns3tJUpoVbs #gamedev #gaming #indiegame #soulslike
