Island Off Outer Darkness is 30% off — its biggest sale yet — and is just $9.79! Go pick up the game @austinwalker.bsky.social bravely and sagely nominated for an EGOTY and which many have called their game of the year! Steam: store.steampowered.com/app/3661790/...

I was a skeptic and rarely play first-person shooters but, guys, Marathon is really really good. The onboarding is horrendous but stick with it!

Trying out Marathon and I’m absolutely in love with Destroyer’s design. They gave me some cosmetics but idk why I’d ever want to be anything other than a Jegan!

Big news: you can now wishlist Island Off Outer Dancing, the rhythm game sequel to IOOD, on Steam! Very excited to get this to all of you as soon as I possibly can. It’s quite different, obviously, but I hope y'all stick with it. Don't forget — it'll be free! store.steampowered.com/app/4584700/...

New blog posts on my website after a month and a half. Did you know I own ANTHEM now? I’m an owner of Anthem Legion of Dawn edition!!! I also reviewed the Mormon “Dirty Mountain Dew” and it was Dr Pepper Dark Berry bad. And something about my response to IOOD blowing up, or whatever. zugerujk.net

Honestly, I don't want to hear about how near-future novels are too pessimistic or without hope. Look at the goddamn world around you. This is peak dystopia.

I have now purchased Oklahoma's cheapest menthol-infused Steam Deck off Facebook Marketplace. A compatibility patch for IOOD will be coming sometime soon (before IOODancing).

This week on the podcast Mark salvages fun through the various versions of tactical mech series Front Mission; Daniel delivers mail at the edge of the world in Island Off Outer Darkness (@zugerujk.bsky.social); We both sail the seven trees of TTRPG The Wildsea (@mythworks.bsky.social)

I have received word that Aesop the crow passed away. He will be dearly missed by all those who loved him, and I'm forever honored I got to feature him in Island Off Outer Darkness. 🖤

Oh shit DC made it

this summer im going to be streaming sea horror/mystery games to friends. i wanted to doodle some previews for each game :-)

Working on IOODancing rn and adapting the Sound Test menu, and I just realized that it's misaligned by 1 pixel in IOOD. Fuck. It's fucking over. I don't know how I can ever come back from this

All of my political views and policy ideas have basically collapsed to "Punish the Villains" and I mumble it to myself every time I see a news article these days

Realize I forgot to announce it here: Island Off Outer Dancing, the rhythm game sequel to Island Off Outer Darkness, is releasing this summer, **for free**!!!! Woahh!!!! Stay tuned for more news as production continues 😌

I’ve lowkey been helping playtest this game since trying it out at last year’s SGDQ and it’s phenooooomenal. Gooooo wishlist it! store.steampowered.com/app/2346760/...

But the children of the kingdom shall be cast out into fucking outer darkness: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth. -- Matthew 8:12

This is actually the exact location I implemented this softlock prevention feature for 😭

Island Off Outer Darkness is just so so so good. One of the most overlooked games I've played in a minute. Wish I could go back in time and beg to have it submitted to the IGF when it first came out. store.steampowered.com/app/3661790/...

Island Off Outer Darkness is really something special and you owe it to yourself to play it. Austin and Keith and I already knew we all liked the game before we sat down to record but it was such a joy to compare notes and talk about the thing.

The people love the gay horse!

If you live in Germany and want to play IOOD, DM me! I can send you a key that works. The game got banned for purchase in Germany and a manual review is $3000 which is money I don't have 😔

Holy kamoly, thank you so much! I'm listening to this right now and it's great

Huge thank you to everyone who saw Blood Machine's post and decided to pay attention to the weird abstract emotional exorcism I made with friends over the course of two years. Means a lot

playing Island off Outer Darkness since it looked really interesting, and it's CRIMINAL this has basically no reviews store.steampowered.com/app/3661790/... It's a delivery game, with gardening and morrowind dialogue system, and things changing every day, Racist guy under the bridge tells you lore

There's no peace like the peace of iron. Life is uncontrollable but iron will remain the same

Alex from our time working together, while he was in nursing school. Later, he moved to ICU, working as a nurse to support critically ill Veterans. He had such a great attitude. We’d chat between patients about trying to get in a mountain bike ride together. Will never happen now

Alex Pretti was a colleague at the VA. We hired him to recruit for our trial. He became an ICU nurse- I lover working with him. He was a good kind person who lived to help and these fuckers executed him. White. Hot. Rage.

Playtesting a game giving me crazy numbers

You can make your cat a Steam achievement. There's nothing stopping you. Nobody can stop me

Looking at bears stopped motivating me so I think I'm made of nothing anymore

Politics hasn't been this simple in a long time: do you think it's good for one man to exercise unchecked, arbitrary power or not. Those are the two available ideologies right now

Big visual change for IOOD v1.1.... The fishing cursor will finally look like the rest of the menus in the game! Wow, ain't that neat. #indiegame #indiedev

Working on IOOD v1.1... Gonna have new art for Addharthus... Big things in the pipeline

the republican party must be outlawed from existing in the united states. we cannot live in a civil society with people as inhumanly evil as this

Today's Island Off Outer Darkness devlog covers THE FONT MINES and three stories (fonts) from it. Maybe you'll find it kind of interesting, I sure find ranting about fonts interesting. Though this ain't much of a rant. #indiegame #fonts #indiedev zugerujk.net/blog/blogOD0...

My name is Zug Erujk and I'm working on Island Off Outer Darkness, the first-ever narrative indie NieR Re[in]carnation-inspired delivery simulator that takes place entirely on an island off the coast of a volcano... named Outer Darkness. Releasing in the summer. #indie #indiedev #indiegame #gamedev
