Wow! Thanks to everyone who jumped in and left a Steam user review over the last few days, we really appreciate it. Due to the spike of recent reviews, we’re actually just a few shy of 900 now, which would be a huge milestone! ♥️

We got a Steam review today that reads "there's no French localization. Unbelievable in this day and age when AI can do that in seconds."
1. We will never use AI.
2. Leaving a bad review because the game isn't available in your language is incredibly lame. 😔

About to make my way over for the second day of AdventureX! Yesterday was amazing - held a fireside chat about the development of Loco Motive with my pal @mcdoogleh.bsky.social, and had the opportunity to meet @darmato.bsky.social himself - aka the voice of Guybrush Threepwood, mighty pirate!

had a laugh looking at the Steam reviews this morning for Loco Motive. A point and click masterwork, or a game so bad it hurts the genre itself?

If you want to play a remastered Deus Ex, modders have already a decade enhancing the experience for free.
My favourites are GMDX and the Lay D Denton mod.

I am enjoying the new Battlefield beta but the UI is really unappealing and worse still - infuriating to navigate. If i want to customise a specific weapon it's about 8 seperate sub-menus in.

Financials aside, I would love to make silly little co-op games where I can goof off with my friends. In-fact, here's a slide from one of my throwaway decks:
