In celebration of Qud's Steamiversary, I have updated the Qud Survival Guide mod! If you're trying to get into Qud and don't want to wait for the in-game tutorial, try this mod instead :) steamcommunity.com/workshop/fil...

9 years ago today, Caves of Qud went into Early Access on Steam. And after over 15 years of development, it's finally coming to 1.0 later this year!

We think Caves of Qud should be nominated for a Nebula too! Any SFWA members following us? 😅

It's awkward to point at ourselves and yell good things, but I do believe we made a novel, language-driven work of science fiction that is probably too niche to get noticed without banging a drum so 🥁🥁

Fair warning that come nomination time for the 2024 Nebulas (Novemberish), I'm going to be making a lot of noise about Caves of Qud

Testing out experimental forms of kindness on my haters

(watching a tightrope walker past his prime) damn he fell off

Spied the cutest couple on a date

The Winterhold Interpretation contends the Heart of Lorkhan collapsed the waveform, preferring a Mundus where the tonal architects could not exist to provoke it Not I — I believe there are many worlds, tucked in the folds of Void, & the Dwemer simply deposited in an unlikely one

Hm, two episodes in and the writing in S2 House of the Dragon has really fallen off a cliff. The show is at once becoming GoT (and faithfully reproducing what sucked about it) & retreading its own lane but fumbling all the narrative tension

EBMUD is laying new water pipeline under our street and I was chatting with the welding inspector, who it turns out runs his own emulated EverQuest server

You wouldn't think it's possible to elevate the Caves of Qud OST from the towering heights it already occupies, but @chamwow.bsky.social is somehow doing it for the last few tracks. I've nearly cried several times

Today we dropped our last major feature arc before the 1.0 release bsky.app/profile/kitf...

The Caves of Qud Spring Molting update is out NOW! Experience: -The all-new interface, fully redesigned -Steam Cloud saves -Starting town refresh -40 new achievements and much more! 🌱Watch the update trailer: youtu.be/okr1o8j0su0

Get ready to shed your digital skin! The Caves of Qud Spring Molting update (including a complete UI overhaul) launches in 5 days on June 6th!

what elevated my anger at Google's AI Overview to Miyazaki insult-to-life levels is the fact that humanity has spent so much painstaking effort over thousands of years -fighting- the airy, infinite expressibility of language,

here's a kitfox tiktok called "Caves of Qud is for the freaks (affectionate)" with 21k likes lmao www.tiktok.com/@kitfoxgames...

Thinking more about experiencing generative possibility space. In this case in a way that's a bit more direct, literal, and 4D. cohost.org/procgen/post...

Walking through the generative dimensionscohost.org Most of the time, the generative dimension [https://cohost.org/procgen/post/5518465-designing-the-genera] is something you only experience indirectly. https://youtu.be/by8eAnez0i8?si=GTV0-2R6g2j7xdm6...

The Spring Molting beta is out now store.steampowered.com/news/app/333...

if there are 10 teleporting plants in a row in front of you and each plant teleports you to another plant on average it takes as long to walk through the row of teleporting plants as it does to walk through the same size row with no plants
