Over the past week our game A Game About Feeding A Black Hole blew past 10k Wishlists on Steam.

I believe we got lucky and that we also did a few things to create the opportunity for luck to occur.

Now we just need to finish the game.

A beautiful sunset on a year that had a lot of ups and downs for me and I’m grateful for all of it. Cheers and I’m excited to find out what 2026 has in store. ❤️

Thornity and I did a live Q&A yesterday talking about how we made A Game About Feeding A Black Hole.

Here's a highlight video of my favorite parts :)

A question I've been pondering this week.. was the successful launch of A Game About Feeding a Black Hole a stroke of Luck or was it Skill?

Our Game made $175k in 4 Days.. was that Luck or Skill?

Shoot for the moon, even if you miss you’ll be sucked in by a Black Hole.

We just released A Game About Feeding A Black Hole with an incredible 44k Wishlists! I hope you enjoy the game as mush as I enjoyed making it. Cheers!

This feels like a pretty big moment for me. A few months ago I didn't think I'd have a game on the Popular Upcoming list anytime soon.

But we did it!

I want to take a moment to share a strange feeling I've been having.

Confidence.

There are always so many reasons why we shouldn't do something, and while there are some pretty loud voice out there, I think the loudest voice in my head is actually my own.

I'm trying to get out of my way and learn to feel that I am good enough.

No new YouTube video, Scope Creepers Podcast episode, or Twitch live stream today. I came down with a cold, but I'll be back next week.

It's Pizza Friday, POE 3.27 Launch, ARC Raider, AND it's Halloween!? I mean you kinda need to come say hi during the stream today. 🙂

A Game About Feeding a Black Hole has gained a ton of Wishlists and as a result we've decided to move the release date to December 15th so we can run a proper playtest, get additional game modes added, and make the game as good as possible!

I had Orbital Potato on the Podcast to learn more about how he chooses the games he covers. I think min/maxing a game around being good for a YT video is a great lens to view my games though.

What a crazy week of moving, hitting 6k wishlists for our upcoming game A Game About Feeding a Black Hole, and watching a ton of people have fun play the demo!

Here's a look at the last week and what we're cooking up.
