Anti-Union CEO blames employees for layoffs seen at Microsoft. Absolutely disgusting engagement profiteering and bat-shit views from him in the comments. Oh and BIG suprise, he runs a Web3 company now... My god. It's like if all the worst things in the Games Industry got rolled into one person.
Demo is LIVE already! Go play, drown, suffocate, whatever!

I hired an artist. It paid off. This game looks so bad ass, I often forget I'm the one making it.

I love the idea for #HorrorFriday! We deserve a day! I'm getting close to a demo for The Oily Depths, It's quickly described as a "terrible-and-deadly-job-simulator set on a submarine" Folks can wishlist, store.steampowered.com/app/3113030/... For beta-demo info -> my newsletter is ryanrburns.com
I LOVED these Bottle Gnomes. The art, the old card style, everything. It's also interesting to compare cards of this era to cards printed today.
Feels SO good to see the words "Most Anticipated" and then see my game below. It's happening! It's finally happening! 😭😭😭😭
Just finished House of Leaves last night. I'm not sure I GET it...
I'm Ryan, a solo dev working on a little horror submarine game which is basically a bad-working-conditions-simulator. I mostly come on her to see new cool stuff indies are building/sharing. #gamedev
Re-ANNOUNCING The Oily Depths! (For Bluesky) A short horror game set in a submarine deep beneath the sea. You must locate and drill for oil or your corporate overlords will stop your supply of oxygen. 🫧PLEASE Wishlist and RT! It really goes a long way! store.steampowered.com/app/3113030/...
