That’s a wrap on an absolutely incredible India Game Developer Conference!

Full days of panels, developer feedback, and meetings, but the highlight was seeing the real, measurable progress from last year's developers.
The dev scene is on fire, but needs more experts to guide the new talent.

Level Up KL was 🔥!

Judged, paneled, and somehow didn’t break anything.
Big love to MDEC for flying me over, @xsolla.bsky.social for parties that could level up your liver, and General Arcade for the chill lounge.
AND our game Grim Trials won Best Game Design!

Our free Lost Castle update nearly tripled daily players.

As I always said: timing is everything. Lunar Holidays + awkward family dinners = perfect excuse to slay demons.

Thanks for making it a hit! ❤️

Steam just gave Events & Announcements a glow-up.
No more BBCode wizardry—just drag, drop, click, bold, boom.

Carousels, spellcheck, CTRL+Z salvation.
If you’re still formatting patch notes like it’s 2012... stop.

It’s that time of year again— front page of Steam!

Kung-fu kick a rocket back into some poor fool's chest in our award-winning, critically acclaimed, historically accurate-ish 2D action game: The Legend of Tianding.

Become the legend your ancestors warned you about.
