Gum Squad on Steam
Gum Squad is a co-op PvE shooter set in a quiet world gone sticky. Start with a peashooter, explore together, and gear up to survive the gum epidemic with up to 8 players!
store.steampowered.com
So I've quietly been plugging away at this for like, 3 months. It comes out in just a few weeks!

Don't just read the headline, read the blog. There's some really good insights in here. Especially around setting deadlines for yourself.
Oh whoa a new Gum Squad related blog post? How could this have happened??

Making a Multiplayer Game In 3 Months
My ABOUT ME says, " The life of an independent software developer could be compared to that of a rat. In other words, I am a rat." and not unlike a rat, the smell of a better meal occasionally...

Woah, I did not expect to see this today. Thank you so much guys, this is incredible!
Can't believe I managed to beat GMLive, Scribble, Input, and PPFX. Those are all some of the best tools we've ever had, and any of them could've easily won.
Congratulations to my fellow winners and nominees!
