Got two games promoted in the Made in New Zealand 2025 Steam event this year.

Fool's End 50% off for the week (it's biggest sale ever), and the messy Infernal Cleaner splashing around in there. Both proudly made here in Auckland NZ.

Cool to be involved alongside so many sick NZ-made games. Chur.

Our cursed janitor simulator Infernal Cleaner has escaped the dungeons of Hell and made it into the ANZ Indie Showcase tonight. Cheerio.
By decree of Hell’s management, Infernal Cleaner has been scheduled for mandatory viewing in the ANZ Indie Showcase tonight, thanks to @theindiebrew.com.au. Steam duty continues all weekend. Attendance required.

This is a first. Was wondering how far Infernal Cleaner gameplay could push it before the social media censor hammer smacked down. Guess I know now.

Thought it'd be fun to try remake my apartment's patio tiles in Substance Designer this afternoon.

Began sculpting a rock material in Zbrush today for my next environment piece. Very therapeutic way of creating stone materials.

Will update progress on the environment here as it starts becoming a real piece...

Finally stopped tinkering and decided my new environment piece was good enough to share on Artstation.

Steeling myself to post this latest environment project on Artstation. Some more lighting touches then I think it will be good to go..

Stuck in Hell, but here to wash.

I think it’s time there’s a “Cleaning” tag on Steam. There’s a Dwarf tag, Underground tag, Cooking tag….but no “Cleaning”….

Powerwash Simulator alone justifies it.

I don't even know if i can even begin to explain this one. First time I've sung in an English accent for a game....first songwriting credit too I guess...

serious question, can you consider a game with this much blood a cozy game?

Just launched the Steam page for the new game I’ve been building with the Sponge team - Infernal Cleaner.

It’s a chill firstperson cleaning sim. But you’re washing blood and grime off torture chambers in Hell. It’s messed up, that’s the charm.

Getting Steam Deck Verified was always a personal goal with Fool’s End. It wasn’t big enough for Valve to bother looking at when it launched, but a year later, they quietly gave it the green light.

I make games. The first one I ever released is called Fool's End and it involves mining, land mines and ... I think that's all the type of mines it includes.
