If you haven't checked it out, the game I worked on for the past 3 years or so was released last week. Very proud of the game we made and more eyes on it would always be nice.
We've had a bit of a rocky launch due to some performance bits which have now been mostly patched out, check it out tho!

The other day we released a major update for Echoes of the End, introducing a ton of new things and improving even more things. If you haven't given it a try already, now is a pretty good time for it as its 40% off on steam!
If you've already played it, I'd love to hear what you thought about it

More pro tips for narrative things! When writing dialogue for characters, always include grammar mistakes on purpose. This makes it seem like the characters have character when really you just wrote them badly.

Seems like a good time for my bi-yearly post with the new wave of users coming from the other place. I'm a narrative tech designer currently working on a very cool project at Myrkur Games. But in my free time I tend to do a lot of game jams, the most recent one being the last Ludum Dare jam.
