- Whew! Another one down for the books! 💨 Today the Cybernetic Walrus team launched the Autumn Update. Players on Steam and XBOX can finally play together! Cross-play was was one of our most requested features, and getting it right meant months of hard work across platforms, lobbies, and lot of community playtesting. The playtests paid off! Player feedback led to us adding streamer-friendly lobby codes, and a player list in the pause menu where you can mute, block, or kick players from your lobby. Playtesting this update before
- 3 months. That's all it took to make Rip It! Card Collector. Yes, just THREE months. And today, we're releasing it! I couldn't be prouder of our team at Cybernetic Walrus. What makes this even more impressive is that we built this game with a brand-new team. Admittedly, not new to game development, but new to our studio and our way of working. They jumped straight into our fast-paced Momentum Framework, and somehow managed to survive the ride. 😅 And the results? Well, we're launching with over 70,000 wishlists! I genuinely didn't
- Pumpkin spice lattes are back, and so is our favorite time of the year to ship something big (or several big things, depending on how you look at it!) 🍂 The Roadside Research Autumn Update is FALLING on November 3rd!

- So apparently, someone thought it would be a good idea to give me a microphone and let me talk about making video games. On November 11th at 11:30 AM, I'll be speaking at #MIGS26 in Montréal! My talk is called "Stop Building Games Nobody Wants: How Early Market Validation Helped Us Make 2 Hit Games." And it looks like I've already lied in the title of my own talk. Because if everything goes according to plan, we might actually have 3 hit games by the time I get on that stage. 😅 After almost 10 years of running Cybernetic Walrus,

- We have just released the demo for Rip It! Card Collector! I wanted to share a bit about how this game came to be, because just three months ago, it didn't even exist. Back in June, we came across Librarian: Tidy Up the Arcane Library and thought: what a cool idea! We started discussing it internally in July and wondered if we could create something that offered a similar satisfying incremental experience. But we didn't want to simply replace the library with another setting and the books with something else. We're seeing quite
- Rip It! Card Collector demo is out TODAY! 🎉 We have been hard at work on our latest game: Rip It! Card Collector, alongside a Roadside Research Autumn update with the full release planned for 2027!
