| THE NARRATIVE UPDATE! (aka... the retcon... update...) | 2026-06-25 | Version 2.0 is here...Hey everyone! Thanks for your support.Due to a few changes of plans, I decided to completely overhaul the narrative of Water Boiling Simulator to make it a self-contained story and completely detached to the SiliCorp Computers narrative. SiliCorp isn't dead, but its story is so far gone compared to the original idea that was used in the original version of Water Boiling Simulator that it's just a completely different narrative at this point.So, to clear up some lore bloat, I decided to make this game's story more akin to the original 2021 PICO-8 release, focusing more on personal issues rather than being a part of an ove |
| Updates on next project! | 2026-05-29 | Hey everyone!Just wanted to give a quick update on my next project!Things are going well, but I decided to opt out of Next Fest for the time being. Could I finish a demo in time for the event? Probably. Would it be good? Definitely not.So instead, I decided to take my time with it to make sure it's good. Like, really good.So yeah! Expect the official announcement and Steam Page sometime next month, alongside some nice gameplay footage. (Ideally early June, but due to Next Fest happening I may have to postpone it just to make sure it doesn't go unnoticed.)For the time being, here are a few WIP development screenshots of the project!These don't |
| Price cut! (and news) | 2026-04-18 | Hey guys!Just letting you all know that the game's price is down a little thanks to the new Steam pricing tool!It should be around ~20% to 25% cheaper.Welp, that is all for now. At least, until June.See ya!......Okay I'll write a little more:I don't want to talk too much right now, but things are looking really good in regards to the development of SiliCorp Systems, or rather, now recently renamed to "SiliCorp Computers" for simplicity's sake (it will make sense some day, trust me.)Unfortunately, I don't think I can (nor I should) use the already existing Steam page, since, well... The game is pratically a brand new thing. I mean, yeah, the a |
| WOW, what a week | 2026-01-22 | Hey everyone!So, it's been a week since the game has been released, and WOW I did NOT expect it to do... well...I didn't expect it to do anything at all really!So many streamers (and big ones for that matter!) played this game only DAYS after release, and it just... feels so surreal!I'm so, SO incredibly grateful (and super lucky) for the support and attention this small little project has been getting.Of course, not everything is 100% perfect. I have a few friends that didn't enjoy this one very much. This sentiment is shared with some other people, and that is OK! Because if I'm being honest? I know I can do better, and I hope that those wh |
