The original @blankmellow.bsky.social's Beast Breaker deep-dive they did back in 2023, after Vodeo's closure, felt so, *so* special to all of the team and meant so much to us to be memorialized in such a thoughtful way! ✨
I am very excited that Kando is working with them for our Steam release!! 🥰🖤

Watching @blankmellow.bsky.social's original video essay deep-dive is what bolstered me enough to actually pursue the re-release! It's so cool that Kando is working with them.

unbelievably grim to see Valve announce a delightful and exciting compact Linux box approximately 15 seconds before RAM became the more expensive material in the known universe.
Valve’s Steam Machine has been delayed, and the RAM crisis will impact pricing. Valve is now aiming to launch its Steam Machine in the first half of 2026, rather than early 2026. How much will it cost, though? www.theverge.com/games/874196...

I know there's a lot of reasons to not be excited about this, but I am choosing to be excited. This work has been going on for decades now, and we're very close to sending people back to the Moon. I love space and space exploration should be uplifting, exciting, & enriching. NASA makes that happen.

Economists generally will agree that a well-designed basic income can support workers without major disincentives.
No study on UBI has shown a meaningful drop in employment, beyond students and new parents. We want those people to focus on school and raising the next gen.

The game is also an excellent metaphor for having hope in difficult times and that seems as relevant as ever these days.

How should we respond to a world suffering the neglect, indifference, and cruelty of those in power?
Beast Breaker is a game about a bouncing mouse. And also about hope and solidarity when things seem impossible.
And it's COMING TO STEAM! Wishlist now!

An important part of the BB steam release is that we've sped up the progression and reworked some unlocks to make it easier to see the whole story of the game. (Which continues to be annoyingly relevant).
