what's funny is that people are making such unhinged builds, and they all need to resolve for everyone, that we are getting bug reports of game freezes (without dropping fps) and like yeah, some Robert the Robot on your team is triggering 5000 nodes and I'm sorry.

This thing took so much work, from so many people - RPGs have so many little working parts, and we did so much to try to make this world feel alive. The team is just vibrating right now, seeing how this all goes, but for now it's great to just have it out there, in people's hands.
Demonschool: Is OUT. It's out. Finally it is out. We hope you enjoy it.

Personally, I think that Meta are cowards if they don’t ask me to approve “more surprise cameos than the Epstein Files!” as a marketing pullquote.

slightly worried that putting some of my gamedev crimes online will lead to people not wanting to work with me but... there's no way Q-UP would've been finished this year if we had done certian things "properly.

Q-UP hit overwhelmingly positive this weekend which is overwhelmingly flattering!
"That's kind of sick when you think about it."

We hipsters use the rich interplay between skill and chance to talk about ideas and feelings.
Assholes developers use it to take our money and time.
Q-UP is content with simply being about that relationship. It’s formalist in the way a formalist painting is about line, color, medium, or texture.
