Nothing Beyond This Point is already cheap, but for my birthday, it's essentially free. Deep #steamsale TODAY ONLY! It's like 15 hours long, come on! I know you want it!

having made two games is kinda crazy. One could be a fluke but two is a pattern. I don't particularly care that they're not super popular, they are both well-received with their intended audiences and that's awesome

And realistically I will make a third one eventually. maybe in like two years. But having a catalogue of your own games to show off to people, and occasionally pick back up, that's what it's all about. It's the perfect game for YOU because YOU made it!

i really need to get used to people taking a bit longer to beat NBTP. i'm just worried. But also I'm out of a huge project now so also a tiny bit burnt out and I should probably wait it out at least a little lol Seriously though go play NBTP it's great

Here's a small giveaway for those who are quick and attentive. VC99P-59MVB-PT83 4QQBM-VETBW-I74F J78W2-DAKXB-QGIR The last digits are 0, M, and 6. (Prevents scraping, I think.)

Okay, I've sent 110 people keys for Nothing Beyond This Point. Feels like a lot but apparently it's not even that many... Please let me know if yours doesn't work, I can easily replace it. Let's hope something comes out of this!

Broke: all your games share a theme, style, world, etc Woke: all your games share a character Bespoke: all your games share a character, who is/was the final boss of the first game, but now is just completely unrelated and just There

so NBTP is done (go wishlist it etc), but I just... don't want to market it. It's a great game, I just don't like marketing. I'll just send the emails to the youtubers/streamers in February/March and probably call it there.

Due to a surge in AI-generated content, I feel the need to mention that everything in Nothing Beyond This Point is human-made (by me) and I would never use generative AI to make assets, code, videos, or text. #antiai #gamedev #afterimagefromslaythespireisgoodthoughandcanstay

hi welcome new followers from the Realms slack! I still play Minecraft sometimes, I'm just like you. also consider following me on tumblr! I'm kidding, don't do that.

I'm running out of bugs to find. only stupid things like "this particle is slightly off" or "this text slightly overlaps". Ugh. I need external testers

Happy 1 year anniversary! Today exactly 1 year ago I began developing Nothing Beyond This Point, and look how far we've come! I'm really happy to have made such progress in such a short time, and here's to the game coming out soon!
