Steam Scream Fest has begun! And with it, Occlude is 20% off.

It's a game with immaculate vibes - one reviewer said it's like "getting a coffee enema in a bookshop"

So if you're into... that, and also want to try our free update with 24 new puzzles, go here: store.steampowered.com/app/3547010/...

Cardinals are out! We've increased the amount of content by 343%, which isn't half bad for a free update.

This was a team effort, as usual, but my special thanks to our resident puzzlemaster @owennewburn.bsky.social for the idea, design and execution of the Cardinals.

Right, go lose your minds!

The reaction to the bugfix in King of the Castle has been genuinely overwhelming. The last time we got this many positive reviews was ten months ago - madness!

We're releasing a lore drop on Arald the Great as a thank you in our Discord. Much love to you all.

I deeply regret my life choices

I’m new too! Painted my first mini in 20 years recently.

You, me and @edsibley.bsky.social need to get together for a paint date

This is looovely. Always jealous of airbrush users with glow effects they can pull off

Same - WIP

Though I’m not as brave as @uk-resistant.bsky.social with the airbrush, they terrify me

This was a bugger to get out! Kudos to @owennewburn.bsky.social who worked this weekend with me to get this out.

And apologies to any of players who came across the bug. The joys of updating a game because Twitch changes its backend and Unity finds a security vulnerability. I love #gamedev

Found this mockup for a pitch we did *before* KOTC.

It was a mobile game like Neptune's Pride/Subterfuge but with turns, so you'd log in once or twice a day to make moves. All set in a fantasy Roman empire-like setting.

Only really cool kids make fake app store pages for pitches. #gamedev

I'm a speaker at GGDF this year! Get yourself a ticket and come on down to Goldsmiths to hear me talk about disasters making games. It'll be fun, I promise: luma.com/GGDF25

I mean, the person who started the campaign was convicted of people smuggling, so it's true to form.

Maybe it's a deeply ineffectual form of community payback? Who knows.

Oh, and another. This was top of the BBC website the other - This guy who says "It's not taboo to be British".

Well, it might be taboo to commit massive insurance fraud though. Certainly not very patriotic to try and cheat a system built to help those in need.

What is it about this whole flag thing that stops BBC reporters from doing basic background checks?

Here's the normal bloke who put up some flags. What does the briefest Google search show?

Ah yes, a conviction for animal cruelty, along with his drug dealing gang leader brother. Very normal.

We (finally) have Steam Trading Card for Occlude! We've also got emoticons and profile backgrounds too.

Good luck collecting them all! Or turning them into gems. Or printing them out and eating them, one by one, under a dank, wet bridge in Prague at midnight. Whatever you like.

We're extremely happy to announce that we're adding more content to Occlude!

This will be a free update that will add over 20 'Cardinals', brand new puzzles based on existing Rituals, along with a reward for completing them all.

Alright you lot I'm going to Gamescom. I'm going to be showing off a prototype, handing out Occlude merch and generally catching up with lovely games people.

If YOU want to say hi (I'm very nice) ping me a comment below and I'll make time for you.

We’re on an absolutely crazy 89% Positive on Steam. Considering puzzle games tend to get lower average reviews we absolutely did not expect this.

If you’d like to help us get to 90%, well, we’re not going to stop you: store.steampowered.com/app/3547010/...

We make a game about overthrowing monarchs and the queen dies, now this?

Next we’re making a game about everyone in the industry being paid fairly for their work, an end to the fire and hire cycle, and long-term stability for people winning out over vibes based fad chasing.
