This scarf basically uses a simple system of a chain of vertices receiving location data on a delay from one another and 20 years later it still has more style and character than like 99% of cloth rendered in games.

Wow! In just a few days Slime Rancher 2 has sold more than 300k copies, and reached
#1
on Steam, w/a 95% positive score across over 6k reviews!
Most importantly, this was all achieved with ZERO crunch, while offering top tier benefits and unlimited PTO to our team ❤️
Thank you!

A general (huuuuge) misconception on gamedev releases is that time between releases equals time of development. ie, if your fav game releases content every 6 weeks, that new content took 6 weeks to develop. This is extremely, very false.

I had a pipe dream in my head that we could sell 100k copies of Slime Rancher 2 in the first 24 hrs if the stars aligned. And we did that in less than 6 hrs. No idea where this crazy train is headed but so grateful to have a chance to ride it. Thank you all so very much. 🚂✨

A note about our new zone, Powderfall Bluffs: the entire zone is hidden, it's a secret. Not an impossible one, but something that a player *might* never find if casually playing Slime Rancher 2 and not checking wikis and such. It may seem crazy to do this so here's why...

According to our data, a lot of Slime Rancher 2 players have landed in the Slime Sea in their first day on Rainbow Island. Outside of getting the jetpack asap, remember that Bea has a bit of coyote time that allows you to jump midair in the first moments as you fall. Use it!

Slime Rancher 1 sales have gone up dramatically since launching the sequel, which I wasn't really expecting. So I'm curious: if you picked up SR1 lately, is it to play before SR2 or did you just buy both at once?

Here's some gamedev advice for prototyping or the early stages of dev. I think this is especially useful for newer devs bc in those days it's really easy to get a kind of tunnel vision on anything. In short: skip as much default parts of your game as possible. I'll explain...

Now over 400k copies sold with nearly 9k reviews, and some other fun numbers: 50% of players play for over 5 hours and 25% over 10 hours so far and this is all trending up. That’s still a ways away from SR1’s crazy player data but it hasn’t even been 2 weeks yet! 🙏

There's a lot of talk about impostor syndrome in this industry and if you feel it yourself know that you're not alone. And that's because it's an indicator from deep within that you are actually a clone and until you find and destroy the original you'll never know true peace ❤️

Sometimes I ask questions to gamedevs and I get replies with uncertainty if they qualify as one.
Here’s the secret: if you make games, you’re a gamedev. If you make games only for you, you’re a gamedev. If you’re trying but failing to make games, you’re definitely a gamedev.

But it is never, ever correct to assume that the content you're playing since the last drop 6 weeks ago took 6 weeks to make and thus that's how long this and that takes to develop. Everything in gamedev takes a horrendously long time to develop. Everything!

The Slime Rancher 2 OST is incredibly beautiful. The best of any game I've ever had the privilege to be a part of for sure. We really benefited from just letting the songs go on and on instead of trying to economize. Looking forward to you all having this on loop once it's out.

One of my fav little touches in Slime Rancher is when you read a new msg from Casey the ranch music changes to a special ‘wistful’ version to signify Bea experiencing a little longing as she gets back to work. She’s a silent protag, but you still get how she feels.

Slime Rancher 2 is going to be a great game for you if what you're looking to do is just be somewhere. I honestly think it's absolute best moments are when it's not trying to do anything at all. It's a game about the in-betweens.

Doing some research. What is your
#1
reason you want drones in Slime Rancher 2? 🐝
1) To have more time to explore outside the Ranch
2) To get lots of money/plorts w/less effort
3) To have more time to do other things on the Ranch
4) To slow the pace of the Ranch/feel more comfy
