a critical PHP vulnerability may take websites down today. Admins are preparing for emergency patches, with estimates suggesting that more than 1.3 million internet-connected hosts are likely affected www.theverge.com/tech/1015257...

My only solution to the current moment is to get on with it and try to make a good videogame. Admittedly, that is my solution to almost every situation, so shouldn’t be taken as advice.

First tiktok short already running laps on last week's announcement trailer on youtube, viewcount-wise (honestly as expected)

Until everyone knows about the game, no one knows the game exists. #gamedev

Happy Next Fest day for all those who celebrate. Take a moment to find and play some good demos when the event goes live later today! (No demo for A Vending Machine's Daily Life yet. Maybe next Next Fest?)

Two days since announcing the game, and we've racked up a whopping 39 wishlists so far! That's an infinite increase from zero!! Thank you! But this is just the beginning. Today we're taking a fresh look at our roadmap ahead, and planning things ahead. Go wishlist! #screenshotsaturday #gamedev

The CRASHLAND demo is live on Steam! You can now play it on PC, Steam Deck or in VR. It's been a solo project for many years, and I think it's better than ever. Hope you enjoy the new PC gameplay trailer, and give the free demo a try during #SteamNextFest! store.steampowered.com/app/4383950/...

I have to say, it is really satisfying to see that the game title just *barely* fits the Search Results widget on Steam 😌

Apparently GTA 6 also thought it was a good idea to drop a new trailer some 19 minutes ago! Great minds think alike, or something! 😂

Ooo, fellow Stockholm-based studio Off-Leash (that has a bunch of former co-workers of mine) just revealed their first title "Trollheim: Gnomes"! I've been saying for years that we need a good Bauer-esque Troll game! 😄 www.youtube.com/watch?v=GMQe...

The plan said today. It'll be another few days, at least. ⏳🤫

Went to check if anything had happened with my Steam Frame reservation, and... Damnit.

This is a neat surprise! www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zqcg...

My VR automation game is out on Steam! 5 years in the making, made by me, for you. I hope you like it as much as I do! youtu.be/c5aOqU6_00s

Knowing where so many creative tools (Rive, Adobe, etc) have ended up with their AI adoption, I dread to think what the Game UI Database could have become in the hands of someone with no respect for the creative process. The GUIDB is proudly anti-AI and will always champion humans, no matter what!

Store assets uploaded and ready. Just need screenshots and Trailer now.

Just sent my final invoice to the consulting gig, which means I now know exactly how much budget Decaying Games will have to make our games. It's not nothing! But it is definitely also not a whole lot, in the grand scheme of things. 1½ years of runway, give or take.😄 Starving indie mode is a go!

It's already been a week, but I still catch myself at least once every evening thinking "I need to go to bed soon so I don't miss tomorrow's meetings...", after which I remember that I don't have them anymore.. 😆 I can just continue making indie games tomorrow!!

Getting it down to just 9 games is hard, but today this is the list I end up with. Out of these, Vending Machine game definitely picks up on a few things from Rollercoaster Tycoon 2, as well as The Neverhood and Starship Titanic, surprisingly enough.

Ooo, it appears I've hopped over from the waitlist and into the reservation queue for the Steam Frame! Now let's see how long it takes for it to actually become available.

Consultant work: Done. ✅ Now it's just all indie games all the time. For as long as I can. Proper full announcement of the Vending Machine game incoming... soon? Exact date TBD.

A shame it's Meta-exclusive, but certainly an unexpected VR game!

Showed off parts of the game to some more fellow devs today, and the same feedback keeps coming up; "This is a great idea!" I really want to turn that into "This seems like a fun game!"
