The Steam port is done!

Twisty Puzzle Simulator on Steam


The game has native Steam Input support so every controller under the sun is supported. I've personally tested it with PS4 controllers, Steam controllers, and Switch controllers. In VR the game is designed for Oculus Rift touch controllers. Vive controllers should also work but the controls might be a bit funky in the overworld so I'll work with players to improve them once the game is released.

The port also includes standard graphics customization. On lowest settings it can run on very old hardware. The puzzle scrambles and calculations are multithreaded in such a way that they can slow down without dropping the framerate ( scramble times instead increase).

not the epic store?

not that it matters to me,.. i do not game on pc.  just curious why not since it is supposed to pay out better for the developer.

I didn't expect to be this slow releasing the PC port. If I was starting from today I'd definitely evaluate Epic but back in November it didn't exist.

I have made money haha!

I have really poor tools to track how the PS4 version is doing but the payments from Sony have exceeded expectations. Not "ooh I'm rich" expectations, but "quick practice game before VizionEck" expectations.

well glad to hear it.   i hope it was enough to pay the rent and buy some ramen at least.  you've been doing this game development for a long time now,.. i'm sure it is hard to pay the bills when your investment goes on for years before you get any pay check.

I've been young enough that it hasn't been too much of a problem. I'm more worried about development being sustainable going forward. I need to release games pretty regularly now.

About 9 hours to go. This is actually happening.

I made a last minute change so now the game has ~400 leaderboards. Let's see if the servers hold haha.

The extra leaderboards are for reaching moments in the campaign. Speed runs+leaderboards=awesome. Right now they will be only visible on this website.

For example: leaderboards for reaching 5 stars.
