I’ve said it before, but if the Like a Dragon series is going to keep coming to American cities, the next one HAS to be set in Vegas. It’s just too perfect a fit.

New Meat Players- Given how excellent a lot of your early runs are going, I’m starting to think I should implement some kind of Hard Mode to keep your future runs spicy. Or rather, a set of modifiers that can be applied to make the game harder. Would people be into that? #indiedev

Look, if you let me choose Majima’s outfit it’s your own fault.

I don’t know what my next game is going to be, but the one I’ve absolutely decided is that I want to make a game that’s really visually interesting. Something with a striking and unified art style that can immediately grab people in trailers and screenshots.

played a few hours of this. i wondered what would happen if i looped the first two rooms in order to get easy meat from murdering things. well. i now think that i shouldnt loop the first two to three rooms over and over. fun game, though i do have my minor qol quibbles.

I’m one of those weirdos that liked the Tony Hawk series way more after they turned it into Banjo-Kazooie with a skateboard starting in TH4 so that game getting a remake is really exciting to me.

The combat in Pirate Yakuza feels very different from Zero (which is my main point of comparison for pre-turn-based Yakuza). It honestly feels like they took some cues from Insomniac Spider-Man of all things, but maybe it’s just because it has a similar air-combo system.

New Meat is getting a lot of wishlists all of a sudden. I’m…not sure I see the point of wishlisting a five dollar game that’s already on sale. But hey, maybe it’s kids making their birthday lists. Or couples making a wedding registry.

And now my reward for shipping a game.

Oh look, it's a Steam Key for my #indiegame #roguelite New Meat, but you'll need to solve a riddle to claim it. 8??N6-?N?RH-X3BJQ ???? = "What would you call a beloved animal?"

I love Steam Curators. It's so great sending a review copy to someone like "Tyler the Review Chef - Cooking Up the Best Games on Steam." It's like the 2000s never ended but in the best way.

I've been working with Alex for a week or two on a forth coming feature and only just played New Meat to discover it's fun! Pick it up on Steam because @rocketlex.bsky.social was really chill when I broke something and didn't respond for several hours because I was busy making stew 🍔

I just got a New Meat key request that I think was literally written by Spamton.

It makes me very happy that Steam lists No Delivery in New Meat's "More Like This" reel. I don't know if I ever mentioned this, but No Delivery was a HUGE influence on New Meat, just as much as Binding of Isaac was. store.steampowered.com/app/2442440/...

One hour until New Meat goes live.

New Meat launch build is UPLOADED TO STEAM! Game goes live in THREE HOURS! This is NOT a smooth launch, but I feel like I've done all I can, and it's still a very good game that I'm very proud of, even if some very small details didn't come together. #indiedev

NEW MEAT UPDATE: Okay, command decision has been made. New Meat will NOT have achievements enabled at launch. We've been working down to the eleventh hour to get them functional, but no dice. We'll continue to work on it and get the achievement update live as soon as possible.

I hope the New Meat launch doesn’t have too many problems because I’ve read some reviews of Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii and now I really want to play it.

It’s genuinely coming down to the wire whether or not New Meat will launch with achievements. Please understand if I have to turn them on in a future update. (Like a week at most probably.) Need to convince myself that the entire launch doesn’t hinge on this. #gamedev #indiedev
