🚨 To celebrate Don’t Forget to Smile, we’re running a mini event!

The game features perfectly normal health & safety signs. Examples below.

Got an idea?

Hey #NextFest what is going on!?

We're in! Hope to see you on the shop floor.

Managers. Minimum wage. Inequality. PPE. Time cards. Reject the norm, live the psychotic break.

Optimize 1000's of XP on screen? There's a solution for that. MERGE TOGETHER OFF SCREEN MY LITTLE CPU HOGS.

Major update including HUGE performance optimisations and full controller support; two huge hurdles. Please wishlist or reply to take part in testing! <3

Live switching between KBM & Controller. Very happy with this, fully functional in all scenes and UI flows.

A big task before the demo release is refining the enemy movement; it's a bit 1995. This needs work, but it's a huge step in the right direction.

We've come a long way since the start. Steam demo coming out soon! Would love to connect with fellow devs and people interested in the game itself, my corner of the internet is very quiet.

I am *this* close to the demo release for my upcoming game Don't Forget to Smile. A survivors like with swearing, gore and existential angst.

Hello! An example of iterative design, from prototypes in paint through to final designs for my upcoming game. Some still subject to changes.

I'd love to see some of YOURS!
