- SuperWEIRD COOP IS OUT!!! - 14 July 2026
Hi, machine learning specialists! Today we’re stepping a little outside while True: learn() to share the biggest news from the project our team is actively working on right now. It’s called SuperWEIRD. It has a different world, clumsy robots, production chains, and considerably more suspicious goo, but the basic principle may feel familiar: you build a clever system, press the button, and immediately discover several outcomes that were definitely not in the training dataset. https://store.steampowered.com/app/3818770/SuperWEIRD/ For anyone seeing it for the first time, SuperWEIRD is an automation roguelite about building production chains, commanding robots, rebuilding a broken planet with Tetris-like pieces, and trying to stop the Corruption known as Goofy Goo. SuperWEIRD now has co-op We’ve just launched our very first proper co-op build. Naturally, everything started falling apart al…

https://store.steampowered.com/app/3818770/SuperWEIRD_Automation_Roguelite/ Hey friends! It’s been a while since we shared what’s going on with us — and actually, quite a lot is happening behind the scenes. First of all, we’re still working. From the office. No matter what. 💪 Second, we’re deep into developing SuperWEIRD and actively playtesting it in the browser. And oh boy — you’ve sent us a lot of comments and feedback. We’re carefully digging through all of it now. If you’d like the full story, check out our latest devlogs. We answer the most frequently asked questions there and explain how we work with feedback in general: Feedback has always been important to our studio.
