Minimo on Steam Minimo throws hundreds of players into a massive world for a fast, unpredictable roguelike adventure. Every run is different, every session a race against the clock. Team up, explore, and see how far ...

I've been looking at other games since we put @windupminds.com Steam page up - and having worked on EverQuest, there's a lack of interesting MMOs. Check out Minimo - roguelike MMO! Friend of mine is working on this, wishlist it if it scratches your MMO itch! store.steampowered.com/app/3107290/...

I'm not saying that Ember's inspired by Roxy but I'm not not-saying that either!

My indie game team is bringing our virtual pet to PC and Steamdeck - Stay: Your Forever Pet!
Get ready to adopt Ember later this year in Early Access!
Help us by wishlisting and sharing. I *promise* you - she's a very good girl.
Mostly.

I am in the minority of game developers who didn’t like Meow Wolf Omega Mart.
Team Lab Borderless better presentation; Sleep No More a better audience experience. Video games far better agency.

One of the best things I've done is form a little Discord server with a few trusted indie studio heads. We're all trying to figure stuff out and sharing info, decks, data.

We were on a few other similar groups but couldnt trust info wouldnt leak out of them. So now it's small, cozy and tight-knit.

keep hauling him in, hold him in contempt, make his life miserable until he tells his goons to cut it out

@stay-forever-home.com has been nominated for Rufftalk VR's MR game of the year!

It's been an intense year for...well, everyone. Which is why I'm proud we brought to life something loveable: Ember, our virtual pet.

Show Ember that you know she's a good girl!

Synths are essentially replicants! Loving it so far.
Also a bit of great fan service, esp with the starship UI design.

Roxy knows the boarder well, its not a kennel or cage situation. They run around in the yard during day I think. She seems happy to be there, when we drop her off she goes pretty easily.

Discovery: Dren McDonald creates a narrative-rich soundtrack for The Otherlands Stay: Forever Home is a virtual pet experience made by Windup Minds. As well as being a charming game; it has a wonderful soundtrack by Dren McDonald.

@windupminds.com soundtrack for @stay-forever-home.com is my current ambient working music, it could be yours too! yorkcalling.co.uk/2025/07/30/d...

Heheh I'd argue a technical artist or a modeler also "builds" :-)
The idea that only engineers build is a silicon valley conceit.
