The Spanish immersion school down the street has parents standing guard outside all day during school hours. My fiancΓ©βs co worker had ICE visit her kids daycare while they were at work. Everyone has stories like this. Itβs just insane

The night Renee Nicole Good was killed we visited her memorial, and when we came home there was an abandoned car on the sidewalk next to our house, with the driver nowhere in site. The car was stuck in a snowbank and still in drive, wheels just spinning. They were most likely abducted by ICE

Governor Walz Addresses Ongoing Federal Presence in Minnesota
YouTube video by Office of the Governor of Minnesota
It takes a lot for me to come out of the woodwork and post anything, but Iβm just feeling so proud of and so sad for my fellow Minneapolis residents. Keep up the work documenting and fighting back against these atrocities.
Walz had a great address tonight m.youtube.com/watch?v=fGTs...

He Who Watches - Release Delay - Steam News
It breaks my heart to delay the release, but I just don't think it's quite to the quality bar that it needs to be at.
Hi folks, sorry about the radio silence!
To make it up to you I've come with bad news - I'm delaying He Who Watches a bit to make sure it's actually good when it releases. It is close though.

Trump is directing his Sec of War to send troops, using full force, into a US city, to fight a siege he made up, being fought by a group that doesnβt exist.
Heβs declaring war on Americans exercising their 1st amendment rights to speak out and protest his attacks on democracy.

Multi-Game Monday: Steam Next Fest-Arrows and Block Breaking
It's a Steam Next Fest catch-up week of trying indie demos and we're starting off hot with a great puzzle game and a block breaking roguelike
I knew immediately that @danga.games He Who Watches was gonna be heat, and playing the Next Fest demo, I was right. But I got lucky in coming up on @ballxpit.bsky.social a roguelike block breaker that blew my mind. I highlight them both here.

I removed an old email from my account, and it turns out Github Desktop was using that email for the commits. I've tried bulk editing all the commits to my normal email address but github rejects that change because it's too big βΉοΈ

This gravity-defying dungeon crawler is basically Legend of Grimrock meets Portal, and while the trailer had me dizzy, the demo made me feel like a genius
He Who Watches releases in the autumn.
Rick Lane from PCGamer wrote about He Who Watches! Very cool.
Working on the game alone has made it really hard to know if people will enjoy and understand the game, so seeing it click with people this weekend has been amazing.

Just fixed a bug that was game breaking but only happened once every 10~ hours of playtesting. Turns out if you pressed reload on a specific frame during a loading screen and then later restarted the level, all movement would be broken until you restarted the game βΉοΈ
