Likewise! Good luck on the award. It would be amazing if you won!

Tom Voros @tom.voros.ca · 13d

Congratulations, Starling!! 🎉👏 I'll be rooting for you to win! What an amazingly cool thing to happen!

Tom Voros @tom.voros.ca · 13d

Huge congratulations to @starlingoboe.itch.io for her nomination in the Best Music for a Video Game category in the Australian Screen Music Awards! Hiring Starling for the Pinball Spire soundtrack was one of the best decisions I made on the project. Very well deserved! 🥳

Be careful... it makes time disappear like crazy. 😆

Tom Voros @tom.voros.ca · 13d

Awesome work!

Tom Voros @tom.voros.ca · 15d

See if @teamcherry.bsky.social will let you put Sherma in your game!

Also, a praying mantis would be cool. 😛

I absolutely love Banished! It's very much a cozy game for me too. It got me into the whole genre of city-builder / management sims but I haven't found too many other games that hit the same way with its chill vibes and lack of combat. Timberborn is pretty close though. 😄

Tom Voros @tom.voros.ca · 20d

Yep. Ok, I might just grab this! It'd be quite an upgrade. 😄

Tom Voros @tom.voros.ca · 20d

The Reason Upgrade price is even better at $89. Is it really available for upgrading from any previous version of Reason? Cause... I have Reason 5. 🤣

Canadians! There is a petition to sign to protest Mastercard and Visa's control over the purchase of legal adult content. This is specifically about the Steam & itchio situation, but language protects adult creators.

In terms of world and story, I think Underground felt like a complete experience.

Tom Voros @tom.voros.ca · 29d

You know, I'm not actually sure. I've only played Underground. I believe the other Knytt games aren't Metroidvanias to the same extent but I could be wrong.
