I need everyone to know that on the crochet subreddit the mods made a big post about how they're taking a week off because there was too much fighting/political posts. so there's currently no mods on r/crochet and people are being absolutely insane

I'm having a ridiculous amount of fun adding some pretty mundane quality of life things to Race The Sun: Challenge Edition, like this fancy new patch notes screen. It even has feedback buttons so players can tell me what they like/don't like right from this screen!

Fun fact for you Forbidden Solitare lovers! I was a Location Scout/Production Assistant for the FMV portions of the game because I worked at a Haunted House with Haunted Escape Rooms at the time before my health tanked. 🖤🃏✨ @slicknicklives.bsky.social

Treating games accessibility as “nice to have” is a growth blocker. Ignoring it costs you retention, reviews, and revenue. Getting it right builds better games and stronger businesses. It’s humane, and good product sense.

This is a WIP, but I like how it's coming together: a "thunderstorm" as one of the new daily challenges:
