Steam optimization and the social media algorithm machine burnt me out pretty hard so I decided that I am building a game for me.
This project is Caves of Qud inspired and its only going to be playable on my website ๐Ÿ˜

Yeah that actually sucks... Honestly, if you are able, I would just wait. I truly believe we are in an AI bubble and the demand will collapse. just like it did for fibre optic in the early 2000's.
Doesn't mean AI is going away, but the pace at which everything is advancing will probably slow.

Super stoked about the windows 95 themed website that I created for Vinciware.com!

Been diving deep into the indie web lately, and honestlyโ€ฆ this feels like the future.
Owning your space, building weird/cool things, and keeping the web personal again.

That's rough dude. I have my fingers crossed that supply increases soon and prices go back down. At minimum... i pray they go down in 5-7 years when I have to replace my hard drives ๐Ÿ˜‚

Hope you find a solution! maybe you can find a deal on ebay or something?

I am so glad that I built my NAS before the memory/storage price increases.

The best way to make a great game is to play great games โ€” so Iโ€™ve started a new blog category for reviews of the games Iโ€™m playing. ๐ŸŽฎ

Itโ€™s a tool for me to look back on. Maybe itโ€™ll be useful or to you too!๐Ÿ˜

My friend @peteplaysthegames.bsky.social helped playtest Cosmic Castaway and put together this extremely entertaining playthrough video!
I know I am biased, but I think he is such an entertaining Youtuber! ๐Ÿ˜

Thanks for playtesting dude! I genuinely enjoyed watching your playthrough. Sorry the tutorial didnโ€™t work out. Iโ€™ll be able to fix a bunch of bugs thanks to you ๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿซต๐Ÿฅ‡

What I learned my Steam playtest:
Cosmic Castaway has strong ideasโ€”but I jumped the gun on full development.
I shouldโ€™ve nailed the core gameplay loop first.
Back to prototyping internally for a much stronger version.

Huge thanks to everyone who joined the playtest!๐Ÿ˜

Halloween is my absolute favorite! When October rolled around I jumped at the thought of making themed levels for Cosmic Castaway.๐ŸŽƒ๐Ÿ‘ป
I'll be updating the playtest with one of these themed levels this week!
Let me know what you think! ๐Ÿ˜

Obligatory #ScreenshotSaturday post!
Tweaked the level select flow based on your feedback - faster, cleaner, and way less confusing.

Huge thanks to everyone who completed the Playtest Survey!
One of the top requests was clearer tutorialsโ€”so I just pushed a patch with improvements.
Steam should now let you update the build ๐Ÿ˜๐ŸŽฎ
