It’s the way isn’t it? I’ll try! 😭💪
Take a few weeks off and timebox a quick and dirty prototype? But what if it goes well and I want to continue after that? What then?? 🫣
Man I’m started to get real excited about a new game idea. I don’t know what to do. Don’t want to abandon the current project, but shiny new things feel so tempting right now..
Too relatable
Sick to do that yourself! Ice cold!!

Do you have any preferred way to receive input or feedback? I have a few things I’ve thought about.
I’ve only played using the touch pads on my steam deck, and it works well even without controller support!
I’m like 4 hours in but I just can’t win 😅 it’s addictive 🙈
I have not been told how to fish, but I have received a fish 🎣🤷♂️
Still not sure if it’s possible to do this without contacting Steam Support. Had no idea it was such a niche use case 😶
Yayy, it took a bit to actually go live but the demo for Wunder: The Double-sided Deckbuilder is out now!!
Gonna make more noise about it tomorrow, for now I sleep 😅

Cool!! Is it all shaders or how did you build it?
Has anyone enabled Steam Cloud for a Steam playtest? Is it possible?
I've gotten it to work for the main game. But when I try to enable it for the playtest build, it doesn't work. It's all like "you need to select the tick-box in your store page info", but that tick-box isn't there for playtests 🙃
I was gonna be all like "already wishlisted, so can't help you there", but when I double checked, I hadn't!! Have now though!
Draknek & Friends have their “new voices grant” which I think is really cool. More stuff like that would be awesome for sure
Oh no. That sucks 😓I hadn’t thought about it myself either until I loaded the game up for the first time.
I hope you get struck with a genius idea that solves it without hassle 🙏
Oh, right.. Yeah, that makes sense.
The plan is to go for PC only, so I’m mostly concerned with ultra wide monitors and stuff like that.
But I will try to draw the backgrounds so that the edges are not that important from here on, just to cover the Deck.
Thanks for the input!
I don't want the black bars on Steam Deck, but I also don't want to draw huge images to fit any possible screen resolution. I'm not sure how other hand drawn static camera 2D games handles this. Should probably play more point and click games before making my own 🙃
My solution for removing the black bars at the top and bottom of the game when playing on Steam Deck. Check if the current resolution is close enough to the target resolution. If it is, scale the contents so it covers the screen. Is this a good approach you think?
I see! Congrats on the nomination! And thank you for the cool solution to a forgotten mystery 😄
So many great games in the category too! Weird that our game even got nominated. But cool!
Dude, that is craaaazy!! 🤯 Nominated for an award and had no idea. Such an honor haha! How did you find it??
Hello everyone!
We are really excited to announce that 1 Billion Spells is finally on Steam! ✨
You can request access to the playtest on the Steam page:

Hope you like the new and upcoming updates :)
Now THIS is a stream idea 🍿🤘
Okay it’s more that it’s the only one I have haha! And it’s good enough 👍
New playtest build is live!
Some ui elements are a bit small, and I’ll try to remove those bars at the top and bottom, but the controls work fine!
Because it's my birthday, you have to repost my art. 🎂

What can I say, it’s the goat of controllers!
(and also the only controller I have, but that has nothing to do with it!)
