Good stream today! WINDROSE is a pretty standard early access survival game so far in my books, with frankly quite unpleasant combat... But we will persevere tomorrow as we get our first pirate ship! 🏴‍☠️🦜

I'm going live with WINDROSE! Brand new pirate survival-crafter. Let's see what they've got in terms of launch QOL features and dig into it from a dev perspective 🙂 www.twitch.tv/beacondev

Today we'll be switching the stream over to the just-launched WINDROSE @PlayWindrose! We'll go back to THE PLANET CRAFTER again later on, but let's check out this new addition to the survival-craft family and see what their QOL features are like! 1PM BST, see you there! Link in bio!

That was an awesome stream! Had a lot of fun. We hit Blue Sky, Clouds and Rain in our first four hours of The Planet Crafter! Tune in again same time tomorrow as we work towards Liquid Water, and unlock the Jetpack 😎

I will be live on Twitch today at 1PM BST with THE PLANET CRAFTER! Come along and hang out, let's see why people seem to always compare this game and my own! Link in bio!

Skull Horde is out now! Early reviews confirm that it whips, slaps and all of that good stuff. The skeleton revenge tour starts now 💀

Dealing with this myself this week and can confirm it's a nightmare.

I will be starting a stream schedule next week, Monday 13th at 13:00 BST! We’ll be kicking off with… THE PLANET CRAFTER! Everyone always compares AETHUS and TPC so I thought it was about time I find out what all the fuss is about! Really excited for streaming, come along and join me :)

I'm back from Easter break! Back to working on QOL stuff for AETHUS tomorrow! Oh and next week... I'm going to start streaming on Twitch again for the first time in a decade?! Probably not development (too stressful!), but games! What games would you be keen on watching?

AETHUS, my solo-indie debut, launches straight to 1.0 (no Early Access!) TOMORROW, March 6th! Story is so often an afterthought in survival-crafting games... Not so in AETHUS - fully voice-acted, there's always a narrative reason to head underground or build up your mining base! #IndieDev

I... made a hit tweet?? x.com/Beacon_Dev/s...
