@sean.tcgs.co said it's better than the smell of a brand new old crt

Hard agree

We didn't realize that our size-based inventory system wouldn't be intuitive to all players. Watching people play and then asking questions is such an important step!

Current fix: better tutorialization, icon next to pick-up prompt, and better Ui :)

Fright Train is a survival horror game taking place on a train in Antarctica: keep it running to avoid the deadly cold while fighting off zombies!

We're making good progress on the game's survival mode, which will be featured in a demo coming this April! 🧟❄️ #trailertuesday

My approach with the game design library is to only focus on the good, as those are the lessons already learnt from the bad. It's easy to point out the bad, but it's more valuable to point out why something is good, like actually why and not just because someone thinks it's good. IMO anyway

You'd hate running

Mewgenics has its hooks in me. Always been a big grid-based combat guy and to make one that has so many interesting systems which result in a completely unique party every run is just kind of perfect for me! Much like Ball X Pit was last year, this is gunna be my Steam Deck daily driver for a while.

Now that's one cool mechanic

What it looks like when your dream starts turning into a nightmare :o

After my game's community feedback, I've been working on a way to make our negative cards (nightmares) not be as immediately punishing. Instead of that instant punishment, it now does this!
