- New upcoming Steam Deck/Controller game: Fingerdrums! - 4 August 2026
Hi everyone! Announcing a new little project I am working on: Fingerdrums! Using the Steam Controller or the Steam Deck touchpads, it will be a roughly 30-minute experience, taking you through different rhythms and a bit of an abstract story. No worries. For this one, I am also building in controller mapping and keyboard support if you are still waiting in the queue for the Steam Controller. Fingerdrums is in the early stage of development, but it is something I am working on while traveling for work, so I thought I'd already share the feel of it on Steam. Just a little teaser. Want to know when it releases? Wishlist and/or follow the Steam page for updates! https://store.steampowered.com/app/4991820/Fingerdrums/ Thank you everyone for playing my little weird games, and I hope you'll like this new little weird one as well when it comes out! Cheers! Geert
- Better With A Friend turns 1 year! - 19 August 2025
Hi everyone! I just wanted to take this little inevitable milestone to thank everyone for the support that Better With The Friend has received in the past year. It is great to see so many people playing it and still playing it. Getting messages from people that they finally have something to play with their kids or their girlfriend. It is really heartwarming to read those little stories being made by you guys. While there hasn't been an update in quite some time, I still have some things planned for Better With A Friend, but at the moment I am focussing on my other upcoming Steam Deck game: Game With Balls, that I hope to ship, before the end of the year. There is one level for this game in Better With A Friend and you can also try 5 different levels in the demo! Thank you all and until the next time. - Geert

- Game With Ball - Small Fix - 18 June 2025
HI! While developing Game With Balls I noticed that I wanted to do the Physics a little bit different than it was in the first version that was included in Better With A Friend so that is now roughly the same here as it is in the eventual game. Also fixed an issue with the timer starting too soon... Guess you will have to challenge your friends again to see who is the quickest! Let me know what you think about the improved physics in the discussions! And if you want more? I am working on a demo for Game With Balls that should come out fairly shortly! Thanks everyone for playing Better With A Friend. Means a lot. Geert
