New followers: you may want to check out the weird game we're making, Caves of Qud

It's a far-future, sci-fantasy RPG that's heavy on language, simulation, & sentient plants. The tagline is "Chisel through a layer cake of thousand-year-old civilizations."

Caves of Qud has gained a new mutation: in 2025 it will be playable on Nintendo Switch! Chisel through thousands of years of civilizations as you survive a deeply simulated world of sentient plants.

Densely imagined and as complex as you fancy, this roguelike RPG is brilliant.

By the way I don't think ANY of the Caves of Qud launch speedrunning contest categories have been completed (including the milder Wander Mode one).

Meaning if you're willing to stream your playthrough, you can claim some of this rad new merch for free
