My friend tricko launched his first ever game into early access today! I’ve played it with him and some other devs over the past year or so, it’s great fun

It’s a cool take on platform/fighter, and it even has online multiplayer!

Crash his servers >:)

I wanted to give an update on the Balatro 1.1 release date:
https://t.co/oaVC1ghP4Y

TL;DR is that it will not be coming out in 2025, it is still coming out for sure, and I'm sorry. The new timeline is "it's done when it's done"
Please read the blog post for more details

If you don't know Dan DiIorio, he's the dev behind Luck Be a Landlord; the game that inspired me to make Balatro and influenced tons of other devs to expand on the genre he shaped

His newest game Maze Mice just left early access! I'm going to be playing it all weekend

[Wario64 @Wario64]

Maze Mice is $6.99 on Steam https://t.co/RcFkFq3IS5

Deck verified

out of early access

I have 100% completed Balatro!

Was a ton of fun to hunt for Completionist++. I play a few runs before bed and it's been a great part of my daily routine. I think it's also equipped me to better design the 1.1 update

Pumped to do it over again with the new content when it's out!

20k wishlists may not have happened for Jake before, but it still isn't nearly enough

Just go to the Steam page for this game and watch the trailer, it's oozing vibes. Then add it to your wishlist and buy it when it launches :)

OMG! 20,000 Wishlists. 🎉🎉🎉

Thank you all so much. This has never happened to us before. It's quite something. :-)

All you acting like Balatro is the only thing to come from Regina... it's not even the biggest GAME

[localthunk @LocalThunk]

Pointless Balatro lore: When I started Balatro dev I was living in my hometown of Regina, Saskatchewan. I had a bus stop outside my apartment (similar to the one in this image) and I based the art of 'Ride the Bus' on that bus stop!

@LemonLordGreat the effect resets when you play a Jack, Queen, or King, so the 'route' that you are safe to play are all ranks from 2 through 10 and Aces (210-A)

Blue Prince is already one of the best games I’ve ever played and I still feel like I’m scratching the surface. Released today but lucky me I’ve been playing it all week (perks of the job)

Get a journal, a pen, and buy the game already
