Saving this video half for myself, in case I need a reminder that sometimes #solodev is worth the hard work. Thanks everyone for your love and support!

Ever have a dumb pun generate too many bug reports?

The “Bubomic” Rat throws exploding poison rats at the enemies, but often suffers from people thinking her name is a typo!

For this #screenshotsaturday, how about a bunch of fire? Dragons, meteors, fire elementals, and more!

One of my favorite parts of working on Don't Die Collect Loot is making the unique items. There's nothing wrong with making them silly, overpowered, or both! The only thing that matters is that they're weird and fun to use.

Ever want to try a game with #PathOfExile 's crazy loot and trees, but with a simple, fast, quick gameplay loop?

Don't Die, Collect Loot might have you covered, and it's participating in the #shortgamesfestival as we speak!

PS: Your wolves can shoot bees.

Had a lot of fun making the zone bosses interfere with you as you get close to their domain. Adds a surprising amount of distinction to the various areas!
