"Can we work out why?" Simon from GameDiscoverCo wonders after Ball X Pit sold more than Keeper.

It's really simple...

Dopamine.

Ball X Pit gives you more dopamine.

Showcased my game at Gamecity on the weekend, and it was amazing. I'm super tired, but happy that so many people enjoyed it.

Now it's time for Steam Next Fest!

Today a publisher said that the cover art of my game is "seemingly AI generated" and that it will "likely be a big turn off for many people".

It's not AI.

It was created by the Magic: The Gathering artist Marcela Bolívar.

This is the reality we're living in right now.

First day at gamescom in cologne was an absolute blast, met lots of new like-minded people, and even got to share my game. Looking forward to meeting even more tomorrow.
