Our first Steam Daily Deal is live! Crush the Industry is on sale for less than a cup of coffee ($3.74). Indie dev marketing isn't easy, so I'm hoping we'll get some good visibility from this. 👀

Full release trailer is done. I had a lot of fun putting together the Bob Ross parody bit and messing with old CRT TV effects.
Our game steps out of Early Access next month.

An enemy most indie devs can probably relate to: the Game Designer Mole that tunnels too deep on new ideas. 🐿️

Should that clown go back into our game? I might have to find a place for him.

David Lynch will always be an inspiration and I'll always be a fan. Our game's dream sequence was a nod to Eraserhead (and the coffee item to Twin Peaks). ☕

Hey dudes. Like Earthbound and Slay the Spire? Then this game is for you.
My wife and I have spent the past five years developing Crush the Industry while sustaining ourselves on Costco hot dogs. There's a free demo on Steam. Check it out and lemme know what you think.
