We've now announced the next round of P.I.G.S. on most platforms.
Spread it around the internet so more indies can find out about it.
We're already over 250 submissions which is kind of absurd.
I will be cutting it off at around 1,000 so we can review them.

Monthly Heartbound Update is out! 💜💛
This is the monthly update build for August 2026. This month I focused on the Frost Pipes and Throne Room for Niflheim. These rooms are mirrors of the Muspelheim environments with completely different characters, art, and storyline. I was planning on working on the Slums for Muspelheim this month but I think it's a better direction to keep both Niflheim and Muspelheim at the same level progression-wise. It's been a lot of fun doing design for all of this but next month is more storyline and mechanics heavy.

We're going to be putting out weekly puzzle game videos going forward. The community put together a massive list of puzzle games they want to smash through and we started off with Viewfinder. That video comes out tomorrow and the next will be either next week or the week after.
Can't wait to crush some mind-melters with you guys.

I have been posting the monthly Heartbound updates on Twitter, Bluesky, Club, Discord, and the Steam page for the game thinking this covered the community well enough. Still seeing a bunch of comments on YouTube thinking the game doesn't get updated. Will be posting the monthly updates here as well going forward.
Here is the July 2026 Update:

Recently went to DEF CON with my friends and team the Psychoholics. We won Gold Bug and consequently another Black Badge which is wild as hell. Shadelock is editing together a video where I talk about some of the stuff we did during the challenge. It was a hell of a time and I hope you guys enjoy it once we have it up (soon).
Enjoy this totally normal thumbnail.
