When multiple people testing the game, independently of each other, comment on the same problems you know it's time to fix them... Loading screen with shader/material pre-compilation and mouse sensitivity setting implemented at last!

Sooo...I left my job at Guerrilla back in October, to start working full-time on an indie game project that had been on a my mind for a while :)

Introducing Marsozoic, a xeno-paleontology game where you excavate and study alien fossils on Mars. Inspired by modern deduction games such as Obra Dinn & Golden Idol. (pic from the current proto)

I'm hard at work, alone on the project for the moment; I'm also making devlogs about my progress!! Follow them here:

My game Gravity Slugger is now on Steam! You are a singularity and gravity is your only weapon. Master orbital mechanics and unleash physics-based mayhem your way — blow 'em up, slice 'em through, or cut gravity entirely. Wishlist now!

Steam:Gravity Slugger

Gravity Slugger is an arcade-style wave defense game where you use gravity and orbital mechanics to fling projectiles at attacking enemy spaceships. Dodge enemies, gather salvage, and upgrade your skills with chaotic and deadly abilities in this physics-based 2D game.

#TheOnion going hard at #SamAltman.
It's hard to pick, but I think this is my favorite line:
"Why did you decide to devote your life to AI?
I just saw so much suffering in the world that needed to be automated."

But turned out Obsidian at least have some settings to customize the UI and turn off the most annoying UI choices. Thank you! Wish more apps let you do that.
