People seem to like it when stuff gets smashed, so I'm working on adding a bunch of new destructibles!

Also, better crowd behaviors so they can run away if you get too close.

Still some bugs though...

The song is named after the experience of marketing an indie game in 2025.

Happy listening:

I'd really appreciate hearing about any new bugs you find so that the festival can go as smoothly as possible next week!

In this preview, we checked out Steel Century Groove, a mashup of rhythm based mech battles and Pokémon inspired exploration.

A mech robot with a computerised smiley face holds a person in one hand and is holding up two fingers in a peace sign with the other hand. This also contains the following quote from our preview: “ If you've ever dreamed of a rhythm-based Pokémon-style mech RPG, then it's become a reality. I walked into the demo uncertain, but once l'd finished, I was 100% in.”
