Aside from the effects, how does it hold up?

Yeah. It sucks.

Same! Rough out there. Hope you find something soon.

I bet! :)

Surprised it took them this long. Dreadful company.

I'd like to formally apologise to the narrowboat community for this error. No argy-bargy here.

Mayfly's Steam capsule. External view of a narrowboat with Mayfly in large type below.

I've been helping @backyardzoo.bsky.social with some marketing bits for his first game, Mayfly.

It’s a quiet horror with a wicked retro art style. If you want to feel unsettled on a barge, this is right up your canal.

Demo out now. Give it a look:

I am free to focus on ACTUALLY FINISHING THE GAME!! 🥳

The boat gets a little darker in the second scene, so you’ll need one of these 🔦

As it turns out: 15 April is the date the Titanic sank. Maybe not the best omen, so.... I released the Mayfly #steam #demo today!

You've all been amazing so far so please leave a review if you can. ❤️🙏 #anxiety

Amazing, thank you!

I've been helping out with a few bits for Mayfly. Super exciting to see Ian play it yesterday! If quiet horror and walking sims are your thing, give it a little wishlist.

Right, I've got it set up to skeet about game releases every day there is one. I'll probably set up a weekly rundown or something too but right now I wanna eat pizza. Feel free to share and follow, if you want!

WITKOFF: You can do anything you want, sir

TRUMP: They said to show you the fact that we're real and solid and we're there, we're gonna let you have eight boats of oil. Eight big boats of oil. I think they were Pakistani flagged

Its been a long time since I dabbled in game dev, and I've no plans to go back currently, so I've made (nearly) everything on my itch page free.

So if you want to play some tiny, amateur as fuck PC and ZX Spectrum games that I made then have at it:

MIGA!

Had a dream that Christopher Walken lived near me and I was in his flat. He needed help with his brother, who was a master tailor but too sad to get out of bed and had to do all his tailoring while horizontal. I tried to help, but after a while, I had to leave, which made Christopher Walken cry.

Pretty crazy how important the blockade of a trade route is right now
