Studio news & a small March update


​Unfortunately this is a very small game update, with only August 23rd. However, there have also been some general quality-of-life updates AND I have studio announcements!

The update is available on Steam and itch.

IRL Events

Indie in de Bunker - March 28th in Amsterdam, Netherlands
I went from initially planning on doing nothing Saturday night, to a friend suggesting I check out this event, to finding out another friend was running this event and insisted I show DEVIL'S LIMINAL on his spare computer. Fortunately I am ALWAYS prepared, with business cards on hand and the convention build available to download. Ended up being a great night of catching up with friends and meeting some more local indie devs. A dark nuclear bunker is the ideal place to showcase the game, second only to being in the middle of the Sonoran Desert.

Debug Games Festival - April 25 in Norwich, UK
I'll be at the Debug Games Festival to show DEVIL'S LIMINAL! If you're in the UK, swing by to say hi! I'm currently working on getting some stickers and mini-zines printed to hand out at the table. I've never been to the UK, so I'm also excited to do a little sightseeing.

itch Bundles

Queer Bundles Bazaar The Second Edition - Now to April 11th, $6 with 11 items
A bundle of games by queer creators on itch. This bundle includes SFW and NSFW games.

Ghost Stories - April 3rd to 24th, $10 with 19 items
Ghost story themed bundle of primarily books, with a few games and TTRPGs thrown in.

Steam Sales

Women's Day Sale - now over
This sale included games by gender marginalized devs (not just women)! For this event I recorded a Steam broadcast of myself playing through the super-short convention demo; felt a little silly but was fun to do. This was the game's most successful event so far!

IGDA Foundation "Download for Charity" - now to April 6th
DEVIL'S LIMINAL is part of the event, but not currently discounted. This event directly supports IGDAF with each sale. They've been a huge help to my career, so I try to support them whenever possible.
