Sorry for the delay — I’ve been hard at work on the re-release of my Bad Ass Babes movie, which I’m really excited to share with you now that its released. If you enjoy supporting indie devs and filmmakers, I’d love for you to check it out !



Now, onto the game update 👇

🎮 Patch Notes / Update Summary:

Fixed an issue where some players were unable to use unlocked characters during certain parts of the game.

Adjusted the fake trophy system to improve consistency — if you still run into any odd behaviour, please let me know.

Resolved a bug with Joltz (Asian FPS enemy) where her attacks weren’t properly hitting the player.

Added a few cosmetic tweaks and visual polish across the board.

As always, thank you for your patience and ongoing support — every bit of feedback helps make the game better.

Our 10th Metacritic-affiliated review is here! We got a comprehensive review from Senior Editor Evan Norris of VGChartz, scoring Shujinkou at an amazing 8/10. VGChartz is one of the toughest critics, averaging at just 6.5/10 for their reviews.

• "Thanks to its lovable characters, addictive dungeon-crawling gameplay, meaningful side-quests, great music, and inventive syllable-based fighting mechanics, it's both an outstanding video game and an effective teaching tool."

• "You can take advantage of elemental weaknesses: water beats fire, fire beats wood, wood beats earth, and so on. For another, you can take advantage of ontological weaknesses. This is where the game really shows off its cleverness."

• "But the central plot hook turns out to be less important than all the character-building and camaraderie that surrounds it. This is where the game truly shines."

• "Shujinkou is filled with quality-of-life features designed to accommodate even the fussiest and most forgetful players—It's all incredibly considerate."

• "The game's soundtrack is perhaps the most pleasantly surprising piece of Shujinkou. I quickly fell in love with the soundscape of Genya."

"Thanks to Shujinkou, I know more Japanese than ever before. I have a basic understanding of sentence structure and logic, and can call upon a limited vocabulary. More importantly, though, I can say I've played a legitimately great RPG (...) Now, not everything is perfect. Some of the menus are clumsy, the Kanakae system can be overwhelming, and there are rare instances where the language-learning and role-playing aspects fight for control. But, in general, the game accomplishes its very ambitious goals."

Thanks to your feedback, 50 Floors of Madness (or 30 Floors of Madness ?) just got a big update focused on smoother gameplay and better pacing:

🌀 Camera: the “camera lag” has been reduced or fully removed for much smoother motion.

⏳ Stairs timing: waiting time between floor transitions has been reduced — faster pace, less downtime.

👥 Multiplayer fix: bug fixed where more than 2 players could join a session — the player limit now works correctly.

📖 Tutorials & info: added better explanations to help new players understand the mechanics.

🏢 Floor count: the game now has 30 floors instead of 50 (15 first level, 15 second level). The experience is tighter, better balanced, and still as thrilling.

Thank you all for your feedback and support!

If you enjoy the update, please consider leaving a positive review ❤️

Hey everyone!

I've updated the demo with some feedback I got after launch and during the PGA in Poznań.

The main things that changed:

• Added settings menu during gameplay on pause - you can check the controls there for example

• Added grass painting - paint with LMB, remove with Left Shift + LMB

• Added walls snapping - to go back to the previous placing you hold Left Shift and you can use Up/Down Arrows (W/S) to move the object up and down

• Changed ground color to have more contrast when placing some objects

I'll update the demo once again in around 2 weeks and maybe before Christmas.

Thanks for playing and for all the feedback!

Astro Burn Update Tease – Big Art Revamp on the Horizon!

Me and the team are busy working on updating Astro Burn based on the wonderful feedback from Steam Next Fest Demo + Playtesters.

Big update is the hero ship getting a brand new design, which I redesigned as a sketch at 1am! and then handed this over to my wonderful pixel artist - Ellie Vong to create the pixel art sprites.

Also more levels in the works, and I will not be using Faux pixel art unreal engine renders going forward, there will be a dev log video about this in detail.

Stay tuned for more updates coming soon.
