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!

Implementing an updated stats screen for Race The Sun:Challenge Edition.
I'm afraid the race is as futile as ever.

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.

I'm having so much fun working on Race The Sun: Challenge Edition again! It's really a blast to iterate and get rapid feedback from a subset of the ~300k monthly players.

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