Literally a prestige TV treatment of Qud would go all of the way off. Also make it animated and have the Scavengerโ€™s Reign folks do it

Well, folks. I said I would do it. And then I did it.

Aquamarine is now playable on Xbox, PlayStation, Switch, and iPad.

The game is a lovingly hand-crafted ode to old-school roguelikes, classic point & click adventures, and vintage sci-fi comic books. Give it a look! #indiedev #gamedev #indiegame

Truly can't explain how long of a road it's been to get to this major release date. Or how challenging it was to find the right people to help along the way.

Massive thanks to all involved and all who supported us with kind words, helpful feedback, and being curiousโค๏ธ

After years of work, my first #indiegame is finally making the jump to consoles and iOS on Feb 27!

Between the lovingly detailed visuals, laidback gameplay, and gorgeous synth music, I think Aquamarine is going to surprise lots of new players. #indiedev #gamedev #gametrailer

To paraphrase a friend: stay on the path, make good things. Indie has always flourished in the face of AAA distraction. Times are bad, but let others deskill, pivot to nonsense or chase impossible outcomes. People really like playing videogames. Suits forget that every 6 months or so.

Heartwarmed and flattered by a new crop of folks getting into Caves of Qud on Switch. If you're having trouble with how deranged it is at the start, please stick with it: it gets much worse

Hey game developers - if you are looking into publishing as a possible route to help launch your game, I wrote up this guide about what contractual pitfalls to be aware of when considering partners and negotiating terms.

(This also exists in a talk format, if video is more your speed)

Finished updating the localization files for my gameโ€™s upcoming iOS port, and Iโ€™ve just hit 666 text instances.

THIS is how you know your game is ready ๐Ÿ˜ˆ #gamedev #indiedev

The amount of times I sit in a call with a dreamer and their dream game is basically "everything from my favorite six games smashed together into perfect harmony and there was endless flawless content and it has graphics everyone likes" and I have to explain that making feet go on stairs is hard

Thankfully it is coming together quite nicely though. Iโ€™d always envisioned this as a game best fit for touchscreens, and turns out I was 100% correct
