Developer posts and news about this game.

This Developer log is a little late! It was supposed to come out Friday. I got really sick for awhile, and am just recovering. This post will be a little shorter than normal. After the news from this month, I will be talking about a few monster types we are implementing, and some

In this Developer Log, I am going to talk about our plans for how the controls in Space Dingus will work. This includes sections on how the Special Weapon Slot will work, which is tied to the Right Mouse Button. But first, I am going to have a section for progress towards the Ste
Hello! As promised, this is the start of our monthly news updates for Space Dingus development. I'll be posting big summaries of what we've done in the previous month. This update was on the last Thursday of the month, but future Developer Logs will be on the last Friday of each

We've got a lot of questions asked from Discord, Steam comments, and the Youtube comments for the trailer. I thought I'd answer a bunch of them in one place! I've separated them into sections, for easier reading: Multiplayer Release and Price Controls and Gameplay Localization an
