I have decided to slightly delay the Split Happens! demo😅 There's just so much cool stuff I can still add that'll better represent the final game! But you can still wishlist it on Steam while you wait🫡✂️ Anyway here's some cool examples!

Really sad to hear this. Ben was such a kind soul, and someone who I hoped to meet one day. When I was in the UK, he gave me a bunch of tips, and was super kind to talk to. He was a fantastic guy, with lots of ambition. I respected him so much. He'll very much be missed. Cancer sucks

The saving/loading bug in my game generated a pacman island on its own Should I be worried or is this the collab opportunity of a lifetime?

TheShelfman @theshelfman.bsky.social · 26/09/2025

Made a minimap now as well, but something about it may be a little broken🤔 #gamedev #indiedev #indiegame

It took me forever, but I finally refactored a big portion of the conveyor belt system, and now the splitter works!

I think...something isn't right🤔 (what's crazy is that this only happens on the first time you open a chest - when you exit the game and go again, it looks fine lol)
