I finished Ambrosia Sky: Act One by @softrains.bsky.social , and I can confirm that I had a great time. 🖖

The lore is interesting, the story is moving, the gameplay is very fun (halfway between a narrative and meditative game, a washing game, and System Shock 😁), and the art direction is fresh.

I'm slowly making my way through Ambrosia Sky—one (short) mission every two or three days—and it's a real delight.

A heavy atmosphere in keeping with the very nice art direction, fun gameplay, light puzzles, cool sci-fi lore, and a moving story. In space. ☝️

Grateful to have so many fellow local devs come together under one banner 🙏

There really is something for everyone here - and probably a few games you didn't know hailed from our backyard!

Last but not least, massive thanks to @stevenmessner.bsky.social, who handled all the Steam backend stuff ♥️

Recent discussion about the perils of doors in gamedev reminded me of a bug caused by a door in a game you may have heard of called "Half Life 2".

I wrote it up over on Mastodon (I find it's better at long threads):

Massive overhaul for this sleeper hit from fellow #VancouverDevs🌄 Highly recommend giving it a try - plus it's 50% off!

If you have never heard of it, imagine Front Mission by way of XCOM and Into The Breach.

The timeline / planning system is so goddamn clever and makes you feel like a genius 🧠

The game is slowly but surely worming its way into the heart of immersive sim and weird sci-fi lovers (93% / Very Positive on Steam), carving out a niche of its own with its unique tone and narrative focused on death positivity, grief, and acceptance.
