It has come to our attention that it is actually still OK [apparently] to use sexualisation & objectification within advertising in 2026...
Fool King Demo out now, link in bio π
*Snigel translation "don't worry Link beauty is in the eye of the beholder!"
Also I am very much looking forward to the remake and like what they have chosen to do with the art. [Gareth]
Snigelβs field notes;
The Peasants & Boxlings both being bottom of the pecking order of their factions, instead of rising up & complaining about their status as the chaff unit. They instead prefer to spike one another through the brains, this being due to their disgust at each otherβs ear shapes.
Demo 1 γ» Patch 1 is now live!
Including improvements,bugfixes and balance changes.
Find out more on the patch notes on the Loot Donkey Discord or via the Steam page.
Another glowing review for Thousand Hells!!

Shroom and Gloom is out in Steam Early Access!
The double-deck building roguelite with fungal foes to battle and cook is unlike anything you've played before. It's a trip. π
While its cool that people care enough to cheat, its annoying as hell because fixing exploits takes us away from making fun new shit!
ALSO I'M A DINOSAUR NOW RAAAAAARRR
The Demo 0.3.7b1-26b6e6723 hotfix is now live, this is mainly aimed at adding extra protection against cheaters & resetting the server to remove the poisoned ghosts.
Unleash the Benzilla at your own risk!
If you too would like to stop using increasingly shitty software made by bad people who make the world worse, I wrote a guide for how to lessen/end your small team's dependence on US-based tech services:

You've never played a deckbuilder like Shroom and Gloom.
You've never played a dungeon crawler like Shroom and Gloom.
You've never played anything like Shroom and Gloom.
Out September 10.
