yup - it sure did! That and the Karen Clark voodoo doll with the knife movie...but I never changed the channel...
Our game hit 5k wishlists, huzzah! Wishlisting really helps us out, so every add helps! #indiegame #indiegamedev #gamedev #cozygame #pets store.steampowered.com/news/app/438...
Cover art for my upcoming Vox Pterous record - probably dropping in July/August. I think I'll leave out any text overlay after trying a lot of options. Seems good on it's own. Art by Christine MacTernan (based on the Pterous art she did) #indiemusic #musicsky
Working on new features for Ember 🐾
Including a bond system tied to abilities and cosmetics.

looking forward to it! I know Louis as well and love his work. My pal Shawn Farley worked on the twins movie he did - i imagine you know Shawn as well
Cure or Trouble Every Day
my son just plays it online with friends after getting tired of buying so many cards. all his friends got tired of buying them too so they moved it online. kinda removes the social aspect for meeting people, but he's on a budget
You can pet the dog!
and here's the Steam page if you'd like to wishlist the game for PC (it's already out on Quest) store.steampowered.com/app/4385270/...
WOW That's a nice thing to say about the soundtrack! Thx RockThePigeon! #indiegame #indiedev #indiemusic #musicsky #gamedev rockthepigeon.com/2026/03/04/i...
Moving from Mixed Reality to PC brings some fun design challenges.
A space you can decorate and make your own.
Would you enjoy having a personal place for you and Ember?

Belly rubs? 🐾
Here’s an early look at belly rub visuals from our “Care Mode.” What do you think?
We’re building new ways to interact with Ember, more coming soon.

a reel to reel tape recorder from the 70s with the cover taken off and getting cleaned by a cotton swab
the same reel to reel player (realistic 999b) with the cover on and in working order
weekend project: I got this Realistic reel to reel for $28 from goodwill. It looked like it was in pretty good shape but when it arrived the play wheel wouldn't spin. A little rubber renewal & machine oil has it working again! 3 speeds! mic inputs, 3 heads. pretty, pretty, pretty good
www.steveball.com/exposure/ i was in a band with don box many many years ago, he's the MD and bass player for this
nailed it! A friend of mine started an "Exposure" cover band, playing Fripp's album start to finish, incl some folks who were on it. Pretty specific, but really well done!
A nice moment in Stay, petting Ember! pretty cute and we're figuring out how to pet her on flat screen (it's going well!) #indiegamedev #indiegame #gamedevelopment
and BS says that they support bandcamp embeds trying it out here: drenmcdonald.bandcamp.com/track/a-floa...
Shout out to @acidtedblog.bsky.social Ambient Sunday mention of Stay Vol 2 this weekend! Cool music blog if you haven't checked it out - acidted.wordpress.com/2026/02/22/a...
Another big week for Ember 🐾💛
She’s been watching the wishlist count grow for Stay: Your Forever Pet on Steam!

Please wishlist and help Ember grow into her new home on Steam and Steam Deck!
This feels like a homecoming after starting my indie career on Steam, then working in VR for 10+ years. Proud of the team -- a huge milestone for us!

My indie game team is bringing our virtual pet to PC and Steamdeck - Stay: Your Forever Pet!
Get ready to adopt Ember later this year in Early Access!
Help us by wishlisting and sharing. I *promise* you - she's a very good girl.
Mostly.
