Turns out the real Steam Next Fest demos were the friends we made along the way 😌

This was a phenomenal NF with so many great games!! I had a delightful time with @katerblossom.bsky.social @webmeisterbud.com & @theindiemaniac.bsky.social in Flock Around & Sledding Game

It's been so special getting to record these special episodes with @katerblossom.bsky.social 💜

I'm just so grateful for everyone who's been part of this journey with us. Thank you from the very bottom of our hearts. This is as much a celebration of you as it is of NSG 🎉🫶
