Starting to think about new game ideas. I'm torn at the moment because we're very proud of Loco Motive, and it would be fun to explore these characters again - but it was extremely difficult to break out with a game in the point-and-click adventure genre.

Been playing a fair bit of Fields Of Mistria this weekend, really enjoying it so far @fieldsofmistria.bsky.social! store.steampowered.com/app/2142790/...

Loco Motive is currently 10% off! - Won't be doing another discount for a while, so get it while it's hot! 🔥

I see people saying this sort of thing often, and quite frankly it makes me sad. The truth is, more people are making good adventure games now than were ever made during the “golden age” of the 90s. For example: 🧵

"Loco Motive pulls away from adventures of yesteryear in its deft handling, sound logic, and top shelf presentation." - 4/5 Wonderful to see a glowing review in the latest issue of @debugmag.com!

It’s my birthday! 🎂 It’s also Siegecaster’s Demo being available pre-Steam Next Fest day. 🎉 All I’d like for my birthday is if you’d kindly RT this post. And please wishlist/tell a friend about Siegecaster if you like it (or think they would)! 🎈

One of the better things about running your own studio and making your own game is you can hire all your super talented friends! I'm thankful we were able to collaborate with so many cool people on Loco Motive, and Lu is one of them! ❤️

That a dude with a couple cameras and a plate of appetizers can make something worth $82.5 million and a media company looks at that and goes "couldn't we make even more money if we had AI do it?" tells you exactly how stupid these people are
