- Happy Holidays! - 18 December 2025
Howdy Folks!Happy Holidays and a Merry Christmas to you all! It has been an incredible year, and I want to extend a warm welcome to everyone who joined the Mercury Fallen community recently. Running this project as a solo developer is a deeply personal journey for me; it’s a passion project I pour my heart into, and nothing is more rewarding than seeing players enjoy the experience.PACK :: Post Apocalyptic Cleaning KitI’ve been working on a new game that recently launched in Early Access. While it’s a departure from Mercury Fallen, it belongs to a genre I’m equally passionate about. It also narratively exists in the same universe as Mercury Fallen. I’ve always found cleaning and restoration sims incredibly relaxing, and I’ve truly enjoyed crafting this new experience. PACK supports both single-player and co-op play. If this sounds like something you’d enjoy, please feel free to check it…
- PACK Development - 30 October 2025
Howdy Folks!As you may, or may not know, I'm currently developing PACK :: Post Apocalyptic Cleaning Kit. I’ve had a few people ask me why I’m working on such a different kind of game so I thought I would provide an answer for anyone curious.I began development of Mercury Fallen in late 2016 and it was released into early access in late 2017. In late 2023, after many many updates, the game was released out of early access. The development of Mercury Fallen took a long time, but as a solo developer I’m proud of what I created. I learned a lot about game development, but also a lot about project management. Two major things I learned are scope and scale. I had a general goal in mind when I began developing Mercury Fallen, but the scope wasn’t entirely clear which led to some longer development times and uncertainties along the way. The game also changed course based on player feedback, whi…

- Announcing PACK - 24 September 2024
Howdy Folks! A huge thank you to all of you for your amazing support. Mercury Fallen has been a great adventure and, as mentioned before, there isn't any additional content for the game currently planned. So that begs the question: What am I working on then? P.A.C.K. is a first person cleaning game where you play as a robot designed to clean up after natural disasters. The only problem is that it's the end of the world – but that's never stopped a robot from carrying out its objective. Wash, vacuum and clean out old abandoned structures while learning about the ultimate fate of mankind, alone or with friends. P.A.C.K. began initial development in 2023, but this year I’ve sunk more time into the game and am now in a position to start talking about the game. P.A.C.K. is a casual cleaning game that has you completing levels by washing, vacuuming and removing objects using your little robot…

Howdy Folks! Patch Update 1.19 is now on the experimental branch and aims to resolve game crashes that can occur during auto saves and extended play periods. If you're experiencing poor performance or the game crashing after playing for a couple of hours, please give this experimental branch a try and let me know if it improves your experience. This has been a hard issue to resolve as I've not been able to reproduce the behavior in my testing environments. I am working on further optimizations, but I wanted to get feedback on the optimizations so far. Thanks everyone for the great feedback and let me know if you're still experiencing this issue. As it doesn't affect everyone I'm trying to get a general sense of how many users are affected by these issues. What is the Experimental Branch and how do I access it?

- Patch Update 1.18 Experimental Branch - 9 April 2024
Howdy Folks! I recently released Patch 1.18 and, unfortunately, had to roll back to update 1.17 due to various reported issues. After making some extensive code changes I’m re-releasing Patch Update 1.18 on to the experimental branch for testing. This update includes what was previously included as well as some new fixes and tweaks. Why Is It On the Experimental Branch?
