Surprise, we're getting pretty close to the final version of REALIS!
ICYMI: I've been making a TTRPG about mystical moons and living spaceships and sentences that can kill you. A preview is available now (see my pinned post), but the full version draws near!

There are two decks in our Go Fish hacking game, yours and the enemy network's. Custom suits in each deck can dramatically change how the game plays! #indiedev #devlog #deckbuilding #indiegame #gaming

Here's my review for Ambrosia Sky: Act One. Not a lot of coverage for this one (only three reviews on Metacritic, and it doesn't even have a page on OpenCritic), but it's definitely worth checking out.

Just added a new suit to the game. "Quakes" shuffles the communal card pool. It's a dynamic but risky suit to use, as it could tee up the perfect Four Of A Kind for both you and your opponent. I wonder if there will be something that synergises with this? 👀 #indiedev #devlog #screenshotsaturday

Let's make it official:
SHELVED BY GENRE's next unit, spanning ALL of 2026, will be a delve into the depths of modern genre with J.R.R. Tolkien's THE HOBBIT, THE LORD OF THE RINGS, and THE SILMARILLION.
If you don't have those, you can grab them through our Bookshop:
