Demo out now, new trailer, Future Friends!

Hi folks!

Just wanted to give a little update on what's happening with my new tiny zen city builder, The Block! :)

As you might have seen already, we've got a demo live in the Steam Next Fest RIGHT NOW til the 20th June! It's a super-short little timed demo that's just intended to give a quick taste of what The Block is all about. Hit that big green button on the store page if you want to check it out, and let me know what you think in the comments 👇🏼

I also just released a new trailer as part of today's Guerrilla Collective 3.5 stream, which is super cool! Here it is:

On top of this, I recently signed a publishing deal with the folks at Future Friends Games, who I've known for a while and who helped me out a bunch with my first game, The Ramp. They have some awesome games in their lineup (Exo One, Omno, and now Laysara too, which looks amazing if you're into city builders), so having them on board to help give The Block a bit more of a push while I focus on dev is really nice!

So yeah, lots of fun things happening with The Block - I'll be back with news as soon as I have a release date in mind!
