How do you handle any required Windows / Xbox Dev or have you managed to sidestep it? Windows in a VM or second machine?

I'm gonna be that guy - you tempted by Linux or is too much daily stuff Windows based?

Premium is just Β£2.49 or your local equivalent while we're building out the other modes. Please consider supporting us! Our game doesn't yet pay for its own servers and that would be lovely actually.

Daily mode is still free and always will be!

I started building a NAS recently and ended up buying second hand drives from Europe (still spenny as fuck). Also ended up repurposing a previous machine due to RAM (especially ECC) being unobtanium. Everything is fucked

Time to climb! Cairn is available now.

Mount Kami awaits, unconquered.

This is what you trained for: fight for every meter of the climb and rise to the challenge.

I am also setting up a chonky NAS! New hardware for it was too expensive but the old pc will do just fine

Okay this is some strong as hell maths.

Can't tell you how much buying the Size Five games helps me out.

If you follow me but don't own these yet, please grab them now. It's the *actual best Christmas present* to help keep my weird little company afloat. Thank you.

Back in 2011, ROUTINE & ETHER ONE were ideas yet to be realised - our teams hung out on Skype, dreaming up worlds together.
14 years on, we've shared the highs & the lows and we couldn't be prouder of what they've achieved.
Congratulations friends πŸ§‘πŸ’™ #routine #lunarsoftware

It’s funny catching wind that my posts against generative ai have raised a few eyebrows and pissed a few people off. I’d love to be able to give a fuck, but first I’d need to steal a million fucks from other people, and have a machine randomly assemble small parts of those fucks together for me

What I expected from Atomfall was British Fallout. What it’s actually doing is a fascinating verb-based investigative RPG??

You β€œlevel up” by exploring, and choosing when and how you deploy information. And when that finally clicked, it produced one of my favorite games in years. Don’t sleep on it
