so NBTP is done (go wishlist it etc), but I just... don't want to market it. It's a great game, I just don't like marketing.
I'll just send the emails to the youtubers/streamers in February/March and probably call it there.

Due to a surge in AI-generated content, I feel the need to mention that everything in Nothing Beyond This Point is human-made (by me) and I would never use generative AI to make assets, code, videos, or text. #antiai #gamedev #afterimagefromslaythespireisgoodthoughandcanstay

Spoke to a number of devs about how, in the face of CEOs claiming gen-AI is the future, their declaration of being genAI free is making waves.
Indie game developers have a new sales pitch: being ‘AI free’

Happy 1 year anniversary!
Today exactly 1 year ago I began developing Nothing Beyond This Point, and look how far we've come! I'm really happy to have made such progress in such a short time, and here's to the game coming out soon!

Folks who create videos about games on the internet: I have questions for you if you'd be so kind. I'm trying to determine the relationship between traditional media and those who create videos about games and have never worked for the games press. Sharing is appreciated!

Finished #silksong. 98%.
Good game but really needs a balance patch. Too many things were too frustrating. I did get used to the double damage, but other things (double stunned/CONTACT damage, long runbacks, act 3 economy, etc) still bothered me.
So many amazing moments though. Glad to have seen em.

Silksong good. But Silksong VERY difficult.
Ran into a boss that's definitely not the final boss, but it reminded me of Hollow Knight's final boss. Uh oh. #silksong
