Mama's Sleeping Angels is OUT NOW!!!

A 1 to 4 player Y2K dream-exploration game. Free your imaginary friends trapped trapped in a nightmare by a monster named Mama. Collect bizarre cursed items and use even freakier weapons to face the creatures in her dreams.

Agreed! The best way I saw it described was it being a 'knowing the rules and when to break them' sort of thing

Join the SOUPJAM now and make some SOUP!

For those interested in LSDJAM, this will be of particular interest to you :)

Absolutely, and also thinking of what kinds of people might like your sandpaper. It might be stretching the analogy too far but the coarser the grit, naturally the more niche it will end up becoming (which can be okay!)

I think that some games should be like sandpaper to you, sometimes

Reddit gamedev post mentions: poor onboarding, unintuitive controls, difficulty spikes, players getting lost, and camera problems as issues that came up in over 400 playtests of different games

I am proud to report that my game Apparatus: Exanimus has all of these, and it rules

It's good - you'll get killed by other players so many times just like me but it's so easy (and quick!) to hop back in and you learn something new every time

Absolutely, pretty much the same with me! Most of the contracts not needing you to survive is such a good feature

Never played an extraction shooter before and thought I would not like them, but it's very fun - and I also suck at it. But it's still fun

it's crazy that you can just play my game on steam right now

the game so sick the so-called 'algorithm' trembles--no--cowers in fear at its sheer unmarketability...

I have pushed the LSDJAM 2025 deadline back 3 or so weeks to Monday March 23rd 2026

Hopefully this prevents any rushing/stress!

Godot represents the future where the engine belongs to you and you're free to do whatever you want in the most exciting creative medium to have ever existed in the history of humanity

That's never really happened to me before on that platform (thankfully!) so it was just incredibly strange to see dozens of strangers typing passionate arguments for things I either was not talking about or did not particularly care about

I don't even have a horse in that race I just wanted to share my experience of having a build fail review for incredibly tenuous reasons (I had a small Ko-Fi button in the credits of the game)

Never weighing in on twitter discourse again lmao
One minute you're saying that Tim Sweeney is correct in saying that Steam forces any in-game purchases through routes that take their 30% cut
The next thing you know he has retweeted you and the army of epic game store haters arrives
