Donovan's music so so beautiful in this game. I have been constantly floored how Donovan can take vague description of a mood and turn it into such an incredible score. You don't want to sleep on this, it's a stellar soundtrack from start to finish and deserves a listen.

Also launching today.... the Little Rocket Lab OST!

Out Now on Bandcamp!

Sequenced as a continuous album, following Morgan's journey from the moment the train arrives in St. Ambroise.

With bonus tracks, high res art, and liner notes!

@underpalewater.bsky.social has done all the character design, key art, dialog portraits (over 200 of them!!!) and most of the illustrations in the game. There aren't enough words to describe how much her artwork has elevated the game and how much I owe to her for where the game is today.

And to think that it actually was started back at the end of 2020! Kind of surreal that it's launching next week!

I signed Little Rocket Lab back in November 2022!

Finally coming in 5 days, unbelievably excited to get it out there.

Such a long time coming, and it's *genuinely* one of the best games I've ever played

Everyone really needs to experience the soundtrack for Little Rocket Lab. Donovan has done some fantastic work on it!

I have done a terrible thing to myself.. I found a demo that is essentially Stawdew Valley meets Factorio...

Little Rocket Lab is going to destroy my free time

Even something as simple as adding a shadow helps a ton with this.

Hi Bluesky, could really use your help 🙏🙏

We just launched our latest game Starless Abyss - the exact week that Oblivion was shadow-dropped. Which has been *not fantastic* for our launch

If anyone can spare a RT, that would be so, so helpful ❤️❤️

That feeling when you send out 40,000 emails to let people know that your new cozy factory building sim has a playtest which anyone can now join, giving you full access to chapter 1. 👀🚀

Key art for a game called Little Rocket Lab, it shows morgan the main character is a field with her dog Leo and a rocket in the distance. The image says 'Little Rocket Lab, Open Playtest Live'

I'm not talking about difficulty levels or accessibility, I'm talking straight up features of the game. Do playtesting, make a decision, and put forward your vision of the game. Otherwise you're just passing the buck to your player to figure it out.

I can't stand when gamedevs are unsure of a feature, and the solution is "make it a setting". Please don't do this! Have strong opinions about your game design and how it should be played!

Donovan's music and sound work on the game is absolutely fantastic. 10/10 would work on an entire game for another 3 years so Donovan can write the score for it again.

Well it's been nice seeing you around! 😅

Just a little taste of some art I worked on for Little Rocket Lab that will appear in-game as sticky notes in the main character's notebook! (Go wishlist it NOW because this game is going to be super cute!!)
Cute black-and-white drawings of several human characters, a dog, and an alien spaceship. One is mocked up to look like it was drawn on a yellow sticky note, the others are lined up next to it. A logo for Little Rocket Lab is in the corner.

After 4 years of work, I'm so excited to announce my game, Little Rocket Lab! It's a cozy factory builder filled with charming characters, cute robots, and miles of conveyor belts! Coming to both Steam and Game Pass next year!
