A plea for help. 🙏
One of the lead playtesters of Blue Prince, Iggy, has polycystic kidney disease and has only a few months to find a living kidney donor.

His story, contact and donor information can all be found on
iggyland.org

Please help us in sharing his story and getting the word out.💙

The demo for Parallel Dungeons is out! Even if you have roguelike fatigue (I know I do,) I promise this game brings something unique to the table. So please give it a try.

How it feels when you're doing last minute work on your demo and you discover that using bool(value) to cast to a bool basically crashes the game but ONLY on web builds and ONLY in Chromium.

Realizing that I never put out a monthly blog post, so let's just do a quick mini-thread on what I've been busy with.

I playtested this game and can confirm: it is at least twice as good as Cosmic Express. Perhaps thrice as good, even.
Reminder: Spooky Express is OUT NOW!

In an effort to stay relevant with the kids, I have made a brand new N Step Steve level based on current trends. Level code in alt text if you want to play it.

It's absurd and dystopian that payment processors get to decide what we can and can't see on the internet.

That companies like Visa and Mastercard can use their enormous size to bully companies into taking stuff offline - based on the reactionary politics of a small group.

Corru Observer is still one of the coolest (free!) things you can experience in your web browser.

A wildly creative genre-hopping xenofiction mystery adventure about hacking into an alien biocomputer to discover why a visiting species cut off contact with humanity.

Huge recommendation from me.
happy corruversary my friends! three years of corru.observer. thank you all for playing in and enjoying the world we've created!

years ago, I wasn't sure I'd ever be able to share it in a meaningful way that would really connect with people... if only I knew!!

"The game only exists in the player's mind" is a decent design philosophy. Lots of very good results come from that mode of thinking, which is why it's adopted by approximately 99% of the industry.

But I don't think it should be treated like a universal truth.

Keep an eye out for this one. I don't play many games in "this genre", but I keep coming back to this; It's fun!

(Also, I helped Lum a little bit with the board generation algorithm.)
