A screenshot from CIPHER ZERO of the Road section, done in minimalist colors and designs. A road crosses the screen from left to right, open dumpsters in the foreground along a chain link fence. An elevated train platform can be seen behind the road, as well as an elevated highway, lined with street lights.

Created a puzzle matrix for Desolus to figure out what combinations of mechanics I'm missing in the game.

10x10 has a lot of potential puzzle combinations!

no, 2M scares us.. we're asking for 300k to keep the bills paid for a couple years.

Publisher bizdev people at events like GDC and Dice trying to sign "the next balatro" should realize that, statistically, the developer of "the next Balatro" you need to be talking to isn't at GDC or Dice talking to bizdev guys seeking 2m+ in funding
