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." cavesofqud.com

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.

On the #GameMakersNotebook Podcast, @TrentKusters chats with @FreeholdGames' @unormal and @ptychomancer about their roguelike, @cavesofqud, the 17 year dev journey to 1.0, thoughts on modular design, bespoke and procedural content, lessons learned over the years, and more! 🎙️🎮👇

@ohmsdev sadly my vod setting somehow got disabled in twitch 🙁 I'll probably record a condensed version again to post to youtube

@ptychomancer do you have a recording of your twitch stream available anywhere? I was only able to catch part of it.

Densely imagined and as complex as you fancy, this roguelike RPG is brilliant. Our review of Caves of Qud: eurogamer.net/caves-of-qud-r…

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 docs.google.com/document/d/1R1…
