The Hyperdeck Plugins for Unreal Engine are now updated to work with UE5.7. Both free and paid version.

Game with balls!!!!

An excellent use of the steam deck. I remember with fondness the WiiU and similar games.
It's even got a demo. Bliss.

The Steam leaderboards for Game With Balls are now public...

See how you rank against others in the world or your friends 🤗

I might have forgotten to put it public after release 🤫

Working on some little bugs that almost don't affect anyone.

How far are you going to accomodate as many players as possible for your game?

RE that RT.. it’s wild how steam reviews are still so damn important to getting visibility. If you play and like indie games, the most generous and helpful thing you can do is spend an hour popping positive reviews onto anything you like with <500 or so reviews.
