Dark Ride: Sweet Dreams on Steam Dark Ride: Sweet Dreams is a cozy VR dark ride.

Today is a really fun day for me! After many years of working on making a theme park style VR dark ride. We finally have an early access demo to try. If you want to give it a shot, it would be great. It's free! (Meta and Steam) store.steampowered.com/app/4396730/...

The @weindies.bsky.social Discord is also a place for experimentation where game playtests take place!

Come drive and bark in the wacky world of @seandick.net and his game Puppy Truck.

Man, I like Stardew.

But the name "Shrine of Selfishness" has always bugged me (and the easter eggs that come when using it and that it's at a witch's hut).

Why did it take me so long to hear this song omg (all her other songs are just as fun, too!)
