As other devs have shared, I too am affected by Warner Bros Discovery (which ate Adult Swim) removing ALL their games from Steam and consoles.
Within the next 60 days, Soundodger+ will be removed from Steam. They are refusing to transfer ownership to me.
They are allowing me to republish to Steam (with 0 reviews and 0 wishlists), as long as I remove any and all mention of Adult Swim in the game, including team members in the credits.
I'm all for games preservation, and this ain't it chief.
I sent them the Steam Transfer link, explained that it takes 3 clicks, and they still refused, claiming it would only be fair to transfer no one's games since they can't do them all.
Soundodger+ remains available on my itch page, and I plan to reupload to Steam. However, new customers won't be able to compare achievements or trade cards with old ones.
Once I sign the incoming termination contract, they'll send me one last paycheck, and that will be that.
Soundodger+ is my best-selling game on Steam, still with an active community making content after 11 years.
Our Discord:
I had a stroke on Tuesday. I'm okay now, but there's a hole in my heart that needs to be filled (literally).
Laying in the ER for 42 hours, windowless and with only a few hours of sleep at a time between tests, all I wanted was to draw how I felt.
A thread.

honestly this is the best review I've gotten for Soundodger 2
- realized it's a great game
- refunded as it's not for them
- still recommended it
A game so good, even the negative reviews are positive
@bobrocks951
as far as I know, it's the 18 games listed on their Adult Seim Steam publisher page, and anything on consoles. I don't know of any console-only games, so I assume that's the list.
Considering taking my music off Spotify. They stopped paying me ever since they stopped paying out when you get <1000 listeners in a month. If it paid out eventually, that would be fine, but it resets monthly. You pay $11.99 per month so I can make $0.
With mere days left until Soundodger 2 launches, it was important I finally add the new SLIGHTLYWARM mechanic where time only moves when you do. Please look forward to it!
Soundodger+ is now fully owned and operated by Studio Bean!
For the first time since 2017, I've updated the game, the store page, the trailer, the website, and my sanity. Links in the replies!
Studio Bean (my indie game company) recently crossed $300,000 in gross sales on Steam. It's just as much a momentous occasion as it is a misleading number. I regretted tweeting when we hit $200k, so this time I'd like to take a look at what that really means.

For the last 6 months, my wife and a bunch of discord members secretly put together and published this collection of Soundodger art from all the games. I have no words 😭
Had to say goodbye to Koru yesterday, truly the best dog by a longshot. Just a few weeks shy of turning 15, he had a great life and made ours so much better too.

A good indie dev reuses assets between games, so I've reused an old trailer with some ~minor~ edits.

Simplifying in

meant removing textures and relying on basic shapes to stand out. Things move by so quickly you don't have time to see the details anyway. This let me push colors even harder because of the solid shapes

They said my quick recovery was likely from my age. The blood clots in my brain sorted themselves out and had me speaking and moving when I woke up the next morning.
My only advice to you - if any - is if you're going to have a stroke, try to have one while you're young.

In 23 hrs,
@OverpassGame
will be available on Steam. It's been a wild few years working on this beast, and I'm damn proud of what we put together.
I know you already wishlisted, but you can always double check:
At this point I'm convinced nothing will be delisted. Perhaps they've accidentally laid off the last [as] employee, the one who had the Steam credentials to the publisher page. May our games rot in digital paradise, never to become discounted again.
So I just rewatched Mrs. Doubtfire and realized they gave the actual address to the iconic house. I thought it was just the exterior, but the house's online listing lets me explore the whole dang thing.
Let's take a journey, shall we?
t h r e a d ->
It's well-known Valve takes 30%. My publisher for Soundodger+ takes their %. Three of my games have a revenue share with artists/team members. And then the government takes their ~30% of what's left. How does that break down?
I'm proud of every title I've released, whether it performed well or not. I'm even more grateful I've had the opportunity to simply do what I want.
Thanks to everyone who's helped me get where I am today. If we make it to 400, let's see if we can beat Dairy Queen, ok?

My struggles to get verified on this stupid platform were well documented.
@onemrbean
even made an entire game about it. The

account made a big deal about unfollowing me the day I got it. I will NEVER pay to keep this dumb shit. Choke on it.

Overpass: Rhythm Roadtrip is coming to Switch, Xbox, and PlayStation next year, making this my first game on a console.
Many thanks to the fine folks at
@QuantumApG
for agreeing to wade through my uncommented code to make this happen 😍
🚨 NEW GAME ALERT 🚨
Drive and drift to the beat in Overpass: Rhythm Roadtrip, a futuristic rhythm game with a cruisin' synthwave soundtrack.
Coming to Switch, Xbox, and PlayStation in 2022!
For the first ~6 hours, my speech was either gone or slurred, getting better or worse seemingly at random.
I can't describe the feeling of wanting to speak, but nothing coming out, not even a whisper.
Doctors told me I'm a "little young" to have a stroke. Without high blood pressure, it would have made more sense to them if I was older or a woman.
Naturally, this must mean I possess the heart of an old woman.
Not knowing if I would fully recover, I imagined this being the last time my wife would be able to dance with me (she is pictured here twice her current age)
My color theory teacher called my work a "candy shop" and gave me a C. Therefore, I've been maintaining a C my entire professional career.
