I seriously played through the whole game...and IMMEADIATELY started a second playthrough because I loved it that much and it was so full of juice.

Congrats to the @spookydoorway.bsky.social dev team for a kick ass launch. I will absolutely be buying whatever game you make next 🙌

Yes! We're living in an age where "reviews" have become self-centered reactionary statements and its hurting everyone (especially the very consumers who review in such a manner).

Learning to discern what u personally enjoy vs what is objectively well-made (but not ur thing) is critical to progress!

If you saw the daily trauma that is my inbox...you would understand why I must repeat that as loudly and as often as possible regardless of what provokes the reaction 😬

Like...guys....listen to literally any of these voice over recordings for 5 seconds while you're doing your 'how to beat..' videos.

Gang. Its actually embarrassing.

Feels like a good time to remind people that I (and freelancers/most game desogners everywhere) have nothing to do with production & no oversight or power over book shipping or fulfillment for any projects I've ever worked on 😬

Casually throwing around the word 'failure' by the way is why indie game studios are going dark, afraid to publish frequently, and all manner of other reasons.

So consider your words carefully (esp in online chatter) if you want to keep seeing great games come out for u to enjoy in any capacity

Nah. Its definitely a great narrative starting point for new players.

Its a sequel only in terms that it presents a satisfying upgrade in challenge to those who spent 6 years playing their first offering and training thumbs of steel

You arent alone on that dour planet 🤤

Even though im working as a full time staff designer these days---i still dont factor into any royalties equation. I am paid what im paid with a flat employee rate.
And from my experience, that is pretty typical in the game industry.

To be frank, im not sure how that process works.
Most freelance game designers in the industry (including me) for these projects get a single check when we write for a book and that's the end of it.
Right now, the industry totally leaves designers out of the royalties equation.

I do admittedly love playing clerics---but the primary push there was always to make sure the "core" god domains were represented as fast as possible :P
