thanks for the lovely review. when they told me i needed a concise hook i stood up for myself and said life is too complicated and walked off into the horizon

(this is your daily reminder that my game Time Bandit is still 50% off on Steam!)

what do you get when you combine sokoban puzzles, realtime life sim elements, mgs-inspired stealth segments, and anti-capitalism? a gestalt of a work that warped how i lived my life for a month which normally i can only begrudgingly hand it to live-service games for doing. highly recommend !!!!!

here to say that my real-time adventure game Time Bandit, which lets you fight capitalism by stealing from your boss, is again on sale for 50% off on steam

immigrating to another country is Not easy but i see a lot of doomerism about how it’s impossible or just as bad everywhere else or too hard to rebuild community

and i can only speak from experience but you can come out the other end and have a way better life than will ever be possible in the US

i would give more specific advice on the pathway to immigration for a student in canada but they frequently change the rules and make it more difficult. i would advise looking into immigration programs beforehand and planning accordingly

a couple days left to get my game Time Bandit for 50% off on Steam! it’s an adventure game with real-time/idle and box-pushing elements where you use MGS-style stealth to steal back from your boss 🤷‍♀️

this game is good and wants you to play around with how you invest time in games. in this particular moment where many of you are struggling with Silksong, perhaps this game can tell you something about what else to do instead

One of the smartest games I've played in years. Sharp, funny writing and a brilliant realtime meets sokoban meets Metal Gear Solid setup that's like nothing else you've ever played. Time Bandit: it's a good video game for your personal computer.

i heard they added more realism to the new mgs3. but did you know it's actually easier to hide in the grass with *fewer* polygons? wild gamedev insights from the making of Time Bandit part 2 (coming eventually)
