Ugggghh, no! I'm always nervous to team up on jams for this very reason. What jam?

The things that are getting in the way of me working on my #MetroidvaniaMonthJam game are becoming farcical. Yesterday it was replacing the wing mirror on our car, today its resealing the back of the bath because it leaks when we shower... ๐Ÿ˜’ #gamedev

All of the companies that make the software I use are increasing their prices, to account for an "investment" in AI.

I'm sat here imagining how my clients would feel if I added 30% to each invoice, because I "really got into gambling".

Onboarding (Steamworks Documentation)

Baffling. So Immortality breaks Valve's no 'Nude or sexually explicit images of real people' rule then partner.steamgames.com/doc/gettings...

Interesting you bring up Night Trap. Horses also has real life footage interspersed throughout. Could that be the real problem?! Does that somehow magically break a forbidden video game barrier?

Yeah, I get the same message. @santaragione.com need a Banned From Humble logo on their site now too!

hello bsky! our game was taken down due to a false DMCA which completely killed our momentum at launch. our studio is in a very precarious position right now. please share and spread the word, steam has been little help to our situation.

You stand on the edge of a large gap between two platforms. On the far side a huge concrete structure disappears into darkness above and to the sides. There is a darkened doorway on the far side.

Been just over a week since I last posted about this project - unfortunately I lost most of that time to feeling unwell. So here's hoping I can still get something done for the deadline... ๐Ÿคž
