My fellow Weavers & Chaos Weavers,

This February, we finally wrap up filming "Louise Blackwick vs. the Algorithm" - a funny, tongue-in-cheek Youtube show where I meet versions of myself from parallel realities.

Editing & post-production will behind shortly.

Hoping you'll tune in when it's out! ๐Ÿฅฐโค๏ธ

Had a really successful Reddit thread last week which got me a ton of positive reactions about the Paddlenoid soundtrack.

Never had so many people listen to music that I made with such an overwhelmingly positive response.

It's kind of surreal.. ๐Ÿ˜Š๐ŸŽต

Here's the full OST for Paddlenoid ๐ŸŽต

Thought it would be fun to have all tracks together in a video, showing them in context.

It's actually my first time doing an OST for a game that's going to release. I'm happy with how it turned out!

It's surprisingly hard to talk while playing a game ๐Ÿ˜…

Sitting on a 30min video of us playing the free Paddlenoid demo but I'm not sure what to do with it ๐Ÿ˜…

Should I just post the whole thing on YouTube and link it from social media. Or clip it and release in parts?

What do you think?

Setting up for a stream of us playing Paddlenoid. I think that may actually be one of the scariest things I've done ๐Ÿ˜ฌ

But it's necessary. For the good of the game ๐Ÿ˜Š

First big mailing sent!

If you're an influencer or a publication that would love a game like Paddlenoid but I didn't sent you an e-mail; let me know!

I have a pretty big list but I know it's not exhaustive.

Paddlenoid demo update on Steam, Itch and web.

This update adds a set of highscores to beat. Instead of just seeing your own name in the highscore you'll now have a couple of meaningful scores to beat for each level.

Today is the LAST DAY you can benefit from the #Winter #Bookfest promo

Hop on over to get 25% or 50% reduction on digital #books on my website www.louiseblackwick.com/books ๐Ÿ’™๐Ÿ“š

That said, I hope 2026 started well & that you didn't get stuck in Sweden (like other people ๐Ÿ‘€)

Never got into it either. But I do feel it helped me understand what 'brain rot' means ...

Good for you ๐Ÿ’ช

Just calibrating the star awards with the new hot pod ability (combo's and multipliers).

It's surprisingly challenging to keep scores, high scores and level progressions meaningful. But it's fun to get really into๐Ÿ˜Š

Paddlenoid just got hotter ๐Ÿ˜Š๐Ÿ”ฅ๐Ÿ”ฅ

Bouncing heats up the pod and the hotter you are, the higher you score!

Having a lot of fun tweaking the Steam store page and trying to make it fit with all of the lore in the game.

...It says the game was developed by humans. But something about this text still feels a little suspicious ...

Steam Next Fest is coming up soon, so we decided to quickly add some new mechanics to Paddlenoid. What could possibly go wrong ๐Ÿ˜…

Bounce around a lot and your pod becomes hot while your score multiplies. Adding more skill to the game.
