@NoLongerNull Your strength is an inspiration. I'm so glad that you seem to be recovering, and that you're surrounded by people who genuinely care about you. Your music is fucking breathtaking and as an aspiring composer myself, I can't tell you how much it resonated with me. Stay strong Ren❤️

I did gain a lot of weight writing this doc. It was quite stressful, so I was constantly snacking and ordering fast food and kinda let myself go.. now that it’s over I can finally get back to cooking and eating healthy :3 And yeah ! Uh CYA !

I have received an insane amount of support today, and haven’t been able to respond to most of it… I’m so sorry but know I’ve been so overwhelmed I cried a lot then.. laughed then cried then laughed then cried AAAAAAAAAAAAAA I’ve not much to say as I’ve said all I had in my-

@dl2body16m @de33iikku ?????? what are you talking about LMAOOOOOOO

@de33iikku You people are very gentle, but as soon as I tell you that someone doesn't like trans people or gay people, you immediately throw a tantrum. Do you even care?

@coffbea While I genuinely sympathise with Kate, I feel as though some of the things she counted as distressing was Indi being overly concerned, rather than out of malice. Considering his neurodivergence, it paints a picture of him having good intentions but failing to express them well.

@coffbea Finally found the doc. A few people have said this here too but I really think this is the result of severe miscommunication on both sides.

After reading the situation, we have decided to keep Indi on the team, and we will be transparent on why, as we do not condone having abusers on our team, or anyone who causes harm to others.

@MarcyCubed @coffbea yeah i'm reading this thread rn and you've basically hit the nail on the head. i really don't know why people are just refusing to read between the lines and boil down the whole explanation to "indi is neurodivergent and thus must be forgiven for everything"

@coffbea Everyone's just fixating on that one Neurodivergent point and refusing to hear anything else and it's just annoying

@tobyfox no fucking way

Happy 2026 everybody! DELTARUNE Chapter 5 is on track to release later this year! The translation is already underway. Here are some lines I took from the translation sheet.

@UrbanshadeRblx yeah this idea slaps. the only consideration to be had here is to implement it in a way that doesn't give egregiously large advantages to the player considering there'll be 5 of these in an entire run

Overhaul idea With the greatly increased chance of exploration, a common complaint is always that theres no use in research post door 50. I have an idea Mid-run upgrade shops. Every 2nd quartant (2-4-6-8-10), you'll be able to come across an upgrade shop (lore friendly ofc)-

@UrbanshadeRblx POKER???? the game will finally be good

poker and roulette will be coming too depending on if they're scripted in time

@DredgeHeadHadal @UrbanshadeRblx wait this idea actually slaps id love to see this ingame

big day for losers tomorrow (im losers, i can finally talk about my cool plans)

What is a Wave but a Thousand Drops? I started my journey into video game development more than 25 years ago, back before there were any books or courses, back before there were engines to license, back before it even felt like a viable career. My high school friends and I spent our summers in Burlington, Vermont not working for others, but working to try to create a video game. Every summer we tried and every summer we failed. Failed to have anything even remotely playable before the leaves developed their autumn colors and threatened to fall. But we kept trying, until the final summer after my college graduation in 1996, when just two of us worked through the fall and got our first game playable: an underwater (!) Star Control II clone called Aquarium Fighter. When I played it against my friend for the first time, and I evaluated the fun, controls and balance, I instantly became hooked. Hooked on making games. Hooked on making not-fun-things (but with potential), fun. That game helped me land my first professional game programming job which I used to pay off my credit cards, and I started iterating through the now-familiar cycle of making money to make games. Now we’re halfway to 2026 and the world is a very different place. Anyone can learn how to make a game on YouTube using free engines. But making money off of making a game has become truly brutal. Like the world’s wealth distribution, it’s feast or famine. Game development is a career now, and it can be a very profitable one. And the artistic heights that games have reached is jaw-dropping: Starcraft. Braid. Limbo. Minecraft. League of Legends. Hades. Inscryption. I dreamed, but never thought, that the design, technology, art and business models of these games would one day be possible. Nor would I ever have believed that games could overtake Hollywood, even if they “weren’t art”. Without realizing it, I started Unknown Worlds in 2001 by making the Half-Life mod Natural Selection. I worked with a distributed team back before a health crisis mandated it and we released not half-baked games, but documents describing level design and textures for making those levels, with the hope that the community would make maps. Lo and behold, they did. And we eventually hired some of those people, giving them careers at Unknown Worlds, however shaky the long-term prospects might be. I asked the community to send me $20 bills in the mail so I could keep working on the game, and you did. $18k was a tough salary to live off of, but I made it work and loved every moment of it. Like a design hook, but I was hooked on design. So hooked that I spent 10 years making the sequel. There’s no way that could’ve happened without Max McGuire and his belief that the game was something special. With that, we made just enough money to get Subnautica into a stripped-down early access, which allowed us to find the fun. It didn’t have submarines, base-building, story or survival. But through the early access process, the community helped guide us forward until we found something we all loved. Something we loved to make and something that millions loved to play. There's no way it would've been as successful if we had waited until v1.0 before releasing it to the public. I tell you all this because I want to tell you that game development is in my blood. So is iteration and early access. Our games have thrived because of it, and one of our games failed because we thought we knew better. I was most passionate about that game, and it fell flat. We worked on it 5 years before our early access, thinking that this time we were experts and we knew better. But fewer people played that game than even that humble Half-Life mod. Even though our studio had financial success in that period, and even though many fans fell in love with the game, it really wounded me and I needed time to heal. Sometimes it feels like I’ll never get over that one. So with all this as background, I hope you can see why we were so excited to release Subnautica 2 into early access. Many of the folks that started the journey with us nearly 20 years ago have worked hard on Subnautica 2, and they're joined by some incredible new talent who were drawn to the studio by their love of the games and their passion for the way we've made them. We know (and love) that the expectations for this sequel are high. But the team has poured their hearts into the game and their dedication really shows. We helped pioneer early access and our community seems to love it just as much as we do. It’s the best way to develop a game like this. So you can see why for Max, Ted, myself, the Unknown Worlds team, and for our community, the events of this week have been quite a shock. We know that the game is ready for early access release and we know you’re ready to play it. And while we thought this was going to be our decision to make, at least for now, that decision is in Krafton’s hands. And after all these years, to find that I’m no longer able to work at the company I started stings. I want you to know that whatever happens to the founders, to the team and to the game, our priority is, and has always been, to make the best damned game we can for the best community in the world. With your Gorge plushies and your hand-drawn fish fan-art, and yes, your hard-earned dollars, you’ve supported us in every way, in every season, cold and warm, since Half-Life modding was even a thing. And I also want you to know that this is not where the story ends. -Charlie (“Flayra”)
