Clover's Quadrants is officially registered for Next Fest! Here's hoping the build review goes well. I may have accidentally submitted a version with playtester / debug menus enabled... Oops!

I wrote a song for a charity compilation that's out today. It's mostly chiptune, but my song is not. Check it out!

If you're trying to ditch NYT Games, which you should be since their games singlehandedly prop up the entire dogshit rag financially, you should switch to Puzzmo. An annual sub is 50% off today for a crazy $19 and as a bonus doesn't enable the genocides of Palestinians and trans people
Puzzmo — The (new) place for thoughtful puzzles.
Re-imagined mainstays like the daily Crossword Puzzle, modern classics like Really Bad Chess and SpellTower, and even a few brand new puzzles.

Clover's Quadrants progress report: I have finished a new build that has full music, full-ish audio, and a 100% artpassed campaign. A decent chunk of it will need more work, but I wanted to get a mostly "complete" game for the next wave of playtesters.

UDLR has officially been rebranded to Clover's Quadrants. Nothing new on the store page, just some re-branding. Drop it a wishlist if you haven't! If you want.

I've been using a kitschy bit of freeware called LameXP to convert my audio files to .ogg. There are probably better choices out there, but this one has a lot of charm. Yesterday there were turkeys in the UI - how can I say no?

I've been playtesting this. It's really good! This is not a "number go up baby sensory video" kind of roguelike. This is a roguelike about surviving by being clever and adapting your strategy to every fight.
Check out my upcoming video game on Steam! My friends are calling it “the best roguelike in the past 5 years.” store.steampowered.com/app/3618850/...

Been bashing my head against a mysterious crash bug for a few days now. No stack trace, nothing obvious in the profiler. Reproducing the crash is unreliable and random; attempted fixes are starting to enter the realm of superstition. This is what game dev is all about babyyyyyyy

HOWEVER, i think the common response to this on the internet these days is 'boo gatekeeping' and imo this is a really bad response/take, the issue is the illusion of gatekeeping's removal. there are always gates and if no person is keeping them then some algorithm or accident of physics is.

having encountered many times over the past few years large online tech platforms deciding not to let me put my stuff on them for strange and arcane reasons and refusing to elaborate i really feel this--it's nice to read another account of such a Platform Experience.
Our upcoming game HORSES was preemptively banned from Steam, with no path to appeal. The game will still launch next week on December 2nd and will be available on EGS, GOG, Humble, and Itch for $4.99. Here is a detailed FAQ covering what happened: horses.wtf/BannedFromSt...
