Oh hey, we're nominated for 3 Golden Joysticks! ⒠Best Storytelling ⒠Best Self-Published Indie Game ⒠PC Game of the Year Vote here: gamesradar.com/goldenjoystick⦠All I'll say for us is: it would be pretty funny if a game called Tactical Breach Wizards won a Storytelling award.










I'm not meant to tell you this, but for another 24 hours you can get: π§ββοΈ Tactical Breach Wizards at 20% off! store.steampowered.com/app/1043810/Taβ¦ π Heat Signature at 60% off! store.steampowered.com/app/268130/Heaβ¦ π΅οΈ Gunpoint at 60% off! store.steampowered.com/app/206190/Gunβ¦ .

If you have a Steam Deck or use a gamepad, we've got an update we'd love you to test! Here's how to opt-in: store.steampowered.com/news/app/10438β¦ We redesigned the UI for a new optional mode that lets us accommodate bigger text, and gamepad controls for targeting direct attacks are nicer now.



Nominees for best thing I did this year: π¨π¦ Became a Canadian citizen πͺ Started a workout regime & stuck to it βοΈ Finished designing a board game π§ββοΈ Released Tactical Breach Wizards ππββ¬ Adopted 2 mini scamps to protect me from intruders The winner's probably obvious.
