Added three more tools to the new All-in-1 launcher:

๐Ÿ“ท PNG to ICO converter
๐Ÿ—œ๏ธ Lossless PNG compression (batch)
๐Ÿ”‰ Audio processing (format convert, bass boost, normalize and cutting silence in batch)

Polishing things, then it'll be released as a free update!

We believe healthcare is a right for every American.

But starting today, millions of people will be notified that they are being priced out of their insurance thanks to Republican policies.

Enough is enough. The GOP may shut down the government, but we will stand tall for YOU.

Steam page coming when we have a trailer weโ€™re really excited to show! For now, weโ€™re just trying to talk about our games as early as possible to give more transparency into the dev process.

icymi it's actually INCREDIBLE that Qud won a Hugo Award?

1) Hugos started 70+ yrs ago. this is serious.
2) we were up against fkn DRAGON AGE and 1000xRESIST !?!
3) only games that EVER won were Hades & Baldur's Gate 3

Kitfox always punches above our weight, but still reeling from this one

Foot traffic between high and low level characters. Back in Everquest, zones would have a big range of levels. You could have lvl 10-15s getting XP off alligators and lvl 30+ off giants and specters. Points of interest that make them meet - vendors, boats, teleport beacons, ect.

If you just really want to hear me explain why so many publishers are just utterly useless now, here's a talk for you.

A new unseen trailer for the banned 1995 title Forbidden Solitaire has surfaced.

Forbidden Solitaire is in Yogscast Games' #tinyteams2025 event, which starts today. If you encounter streamers in possession of a short demo build, exercise extreme caution.

This is, honestly a bit impressive. 100%'ing SkateBIRD does take some doing, at least compared to what you'd expect. www.youtube.com/watch?v=RoMW...

A casualized extraction game with no full loot drops on death. Idk how that would work tho.

Also my indie MMO Ruins of Tearyn because Iโ€™m a dreamer

Too many indie games look like they were stitched together from five asset packs and a dream. The soul is in the seams. Make weird choices. Leave fingerprints.
