Good to see people are still celebrating Brütal Legend!🤘 One of my favourite games and a huge influence on discovering my love for Metal.
I was also solid inspiration for #DevilJam and it's a dream come true to honour the amazing artists that define the genre through video games.

I cannot reveal yet who this "passive" belongs to in #DevilJam but a fun little anecdote that happened earlier this week...

It has been some time (busy, busy, busy) but Devil Jam's Free Demo received another update recently, adding a slick new HUD, improved SFX and a bunch of other improvements.

Give it a go if you want a break from your Silksong binge.

Last week I saw a post about the Devil Jam Demo which I have mentioned a few times before and played on stream. The developers set a speedrun IL time of 1:18 for killing the demo boss Maggie. Today, I did this. If you doubt sub 50, you don't know me at all. #speedrun #indiegame

I do gotta say, the star of my Indie speedrun Saturday was clearly Devil Jam.

My video of the devil jam portion is available on my main YouTube channel: #speedrun

The update for #DevilJam Demo that I showcased on stream last Wednesday is now live on #Steam! Have a look if you haven't given it a try yet! See if you can beat my terrible speedrun record of 1:18 for Meggy. 😏

Best part of working on #DevilJam is just having the ability to nerd out about all kinds of Heavy Metal and cram as many references as possible into it. Hoping to get a reaction from fellow metalhead players during #Steam #NextFest going:

Fun fact about #BestServedCold, when we discovered the Dialogue Plugin from @pixelcrushers.bsky.social had a built-in feature to play SFX per character, we naturally felt the need to test it in the most cursed way possible (sound).

Finally managed to catch a consistent MOR for a pseudo-invincibility bug in #DevilJam that's been eluding us and of course my meme-addled brain beings playing "It Has to Be This Way" from Metal Gear Rising on loop...

Programmer: Why won't you die?!
Me: Nanomachines, son.

Did I just send a #DevilJam test-build to the company named after a stupid pun I came up with while working? Yes, because feedback is very important and so is my psychological need to make dumb jokes, as described in the indie dev triangle:

Them: "Wow, so you must be really good at the game from all that playing, right?"

Wish I was in the room when the artists revealed Envy to the people in charge of #DevilJam 's marketing.
