Future Proof Games

We're kicking off the new year with two inevitables in life: taxes and beloved video games! You can listen to this month's episode below, read the transcript, or watch it on YouTube.

"I love the discovery of hidden paths and scattered pieces. The knowledge that there are things in plain sight but unknown fills me with a chilly warmth. I long for the next step of my journey through the darkness."

Until January 2, 2025, you can get a DRM-free copy ...

The cold of winter has hit our studio (even if the solstice is tomorrow), and so we are also hit with more seasonal sales! If you want to pick up our creepily comedic Ossuary, our childishly colossal The Majesty of Colors Remastered, or our consensually collaborative Rosette Diceless ...

Continuing the holiday sale season, all of our games on Itch.io are 60% off! Not only that, but November 29th is Itch Creator Day, when the site doesn't even take a cut. If you've been waiting to pick up any of our games, now is the time!

The holiday season is starting! Our first game as a studio, Ossuary, is currently 50% off in Humble's Black Friday Fest. Until December 2, you can get a DRM-free copy of Ossuary (which includes a Steam key!) for $4.99. Explore our strange and darkly humorous Discordian underworld ...

It's been a while, and summer is here! Summer sales are literally right around the corner, and this episode brings news of our doings over the spring. You can listen to this month's episode below or read the transcript.

We've created a server status page to easily reference how our servers are doing. This is a public view into our own UptimeRobot monitoring tools, and if we know about an outage that will last much time at all, we'll try to post news on that page. If you're having ...

As soon as we first started making a sequel to Gregory's old Flash game Exploit, we were discussing what we wanted to change about the game's nodes. As the core of the puzzles, they are the building blocks for what's possible in the game.

In the end, we settled on relatively few changes. The mostly-superfluous Directory node from the first game was replaced with the Flipflop, which allowed for changes in puzzles' state that didn't wear off over time (and eliminated the need for the "antiblocker" added to Exploit in a post-release update). That was the state of the game in 2014 when we welcomed our first players.

Happy new year! This year already brings some Exploit: Zero Day updates, as well as the Humble Winter Sale. You can listen to this month's episode below, read the transcript, or watch the video.
