| Would you like to see DISTRAINT 3? | 2025-07-22 | Hey guys! DISTRAINT 2 is turning seven years old later this year. Time surely flies by! 😅I haven't yet decided what to do next. I've heard people asking for DISTRAINT 3, and quite frankly, it doesn't sound like a horrible idea. My latest releases haven't been selling well enough, so my next game needs to be something that will do well. That said, the timing could be right for DISTRAINT 3 if there's demand from the players.One of the players started a petition to gauge the interest. That said, if you would like to see DISTRAINT 3 happen, you could sign the petition and share it with like-minded people: https://www.petitions.com/we_the_players |

| DISTRAINT 2 2024 Update | 2024-07-20 | Hey folks! STEAMWORKS.MFX It has been a while since the latest update. I've heard from some folks that they were having problems launching the game. I hope this update fixes the missing steamworks.mfx error! STEAM DECK While updating, I made the necessary changes for that sweet Steam Deck Verified badge. I will submit DISTRAINT: Deluxe Edition and DISTRAINT 2 for the verification. I've completed both DISTRAINT games with my Steam Deck without any problems, so I believe it is only a matter of time before both games are officially verified. FONT Likely, the most significant change I made is updating the font to the fantastic Silver font by Popp |

| Looking for volunteer translators! | 2018-10-10 | Hey guys! I've been working super hard with the game, adding little stuff here and there. It's going to be great! Since I'm releasing 13th November (A little over a month, yikes!), I'm trying to get all the text and dialogue done so I could get the game translated to all the major languages before the release. I currently need volunteers for: Spanish Chinese (Simplified) Brazilian-Portuguese Please comment below, if you're interested! :) I currently have people for Russian, Italian and very likely for German, Polish, French, Korean and Japanese. ____________________________________________ With DISTRAINT 2 I don't mind adding more languages, |
