I won't be at GDC this year, but I started working on Echo Weaver with @moonlightkids.bsky.social last month and you can check it out at Day of the Devs! It's a special one : )

Participated in a trend! Almost gave up when I couldn't add Eternal Cylinder - had to include "the" in their search bar. I tend to include games that grow in my mind over time.

Couldn't find that widget, but I got 617 wishlists over the next fest dates for my game Order Automatica.

Trash the Planet still gets played by a hundred people a week, give or take, five years after launch. It pops up on lists and Reddit posts semi-regularly. I don’t claim to be in the same ballpark as Perfect Tides, but I do feel the same sense of resolution with our game that she describes here.

When I went to Tokyo last year, I went and saw wrestling at Korakuen Hall after hearing you talk about it on the noclip podcast and it was one of my favorite things I did, so thanks!

Order Automatica Demo on Steam A dark roguelike auto battler played on a 3Γ—3 grid. Play a special demo build, learn the core systems, harness forbidden relics, and complete the ritual before your last candle burns out.

Demo has 5 reviews. I don't know if demo reviews have the same 10 review threshold as full games on Steam, but it'd be cool to get there! Maybe more people would see it.

I am asking you to write a review. That's the truth!

We decided to do the kind of demo on Steam where you can leave reviews, and we've got 2 good ones : )

If you check out the demo and leave a review with feedback I would be very happy. Getting any feedback is so useful. You can play the same demo in the browser on itch too.

Most of my followers are interested in #gamedev and game design.

If you are an #indiedev with a game in #SteamNextFest this week reply with a link and tell me your biggest design challenge for your game!

Order Automatica on Steam A dark roguelike auto battler played on a 3Γ—3 grid. Arrange your units, harness forbidden relics, and complete the ritual before your last candle burns out.

The biggest design challenge for Order Automatica was (and is) balancing difficulty. Since there's a good amount of randomness, there's a lot of grey area around what people FEEL is fair (even if actually nothing is "fair" hehe). store.steampowered.com/app/2105840/...

I tried to do something a little different with this game! I don't know if I succeeded it, but I tried πŸ˜… Like most of my games, I think 1 in 1000 sickos will be really into it.
