HEY π
so secretly we've been working with a cabal of indie devs making the type of strange & distinctive games that we love to play on noclip_2.
tomorrow we're announcing a SHOWCASE on noclip_2 as part of an upcoming Steam Festival about these games.
it's gonna be fun.
we hope you tune in.
Itβs only going to get bigger and bigger!
Slay the Spire 2's concurrent Steam players just hit 179,456, the highest ever for any roguelike.
When StS1 first launched back in 2017, it had 193 concurrent players.
That's a 92,982% increase, meaning StS3 is on track to hit 166,861,777 concurrent players by 2035. πͺ
I'm off to GDC for the week and demoing Dosa Divas at various events including Day of the Devs. Also we're hosting our 3rd South Asian Game Dev Meetup on Wednesday at the Gardens.
I haven't rewatched it and will remember it was a thing of it's time.
May the 400K wishlists have mercy on us all.
Thank you so much for your support!
congrats
that's some good color work!
We're less than a week away from Day of the Devs: San Francisco Edition! RSVP to this free event celebrating indie games and we'll see you at the Midway! https://bit.ly/dotd-sf-2026
thanks, yeah haven't done much VR in awhile
Oh no! Hope the recovery goes well.
Meta is trash and no one should buy these surveillance/cop glasses.
Just wrapped up the Dosa Divas demo and, honestly, I already had this wishlisted from the first trailer so this was a nice chance to get a peek at the mechanics, aesthetic and voice and I was super pleased!! Classic console rpg feel with interactivity similar to Mario RPG with timed hits/dodges...
Dosa Divas! Turn-based combat meets delicious food meets faaaaaamily meets very beautiful art that I love. Plus an extremely good robot, you know i love a good robot - store.steampowered.com/app/4316300/...
Anyway all of this is endemic of the mode through which we monetize video game development. It's shifted to offloading risk from the wealthy publisher that can afford it (tencent) to the poorer developer that cannot (wildlight)
we don't have to make games like that

how dare you
This hack may or may not work IRL. I havenβt actually tried having kids this way. This method does save me some animation work though. And less animations taking up memory.
Try the DEMO of DOSA DIVAS on STEAM today!

Might be hard to tell but theyβre NOT the same picture.
The town in the STEAM demo has these chimney tops you can balance on and do tricks by tapping left stick in different directions.

I would protect Goddess with my life. Cannot WAIT for Dosa Divas' full release!!
Wasn't sure what to expect out of Dosa Divas but I'm thoroughly charmed by it
Dosa Divas - Been looking forward to this for a while because I really enjoyed their previous game Thirsty Suitors.
Turn-based RPG with a story that looks like it's going to very anti-capitalism. There's a cooking mini-game and fishing so what more is needed?

I ALMOST FORGOT DOSA DIVAS!!! Paper Mario style combat RPG meets a great artstyle that isn't flat and a story around cooking. I know it's in the name, but I hope the full game has more than dosas to cook!

Dosa Divas: "Battle an evil fast food empire in this spicy narrative turn-based RPG." But Amy, you say, I've played food-centric narrative RPGs before*. Maybe so... but DID YOU HAVE A MECH??? YEAH THAT'S WHAT I THOUGHT. My only complaint about this demo is that it made me SO hungry.
Itβs on consoles too
Picture of Marjane Satrapi alongside a quote from her. The quote reads: The world is not divided into countries. The world is not divided between East and West. You are American, I am Iranian, we don't know each other, but we talk together and we understand each other perfectly. The difference between you and your government is much bigger than the difference between you and me. And the difference between me and my government is much bigger than the difference between me and you. And our governments are very much the same... - Marjane Satrapi, Iranian-French graphic novelist
Thinking about this quote from Persepolis creator Marjane Satrapi again.
