When we released SHENZHEN I/O 10 years ago, 2026 seemed far away. According to the in-game documents, though, the game is now set in the present! Hope to see you at the Cool Dad concert! (Thanks to Alex for pointing this out to us.)

New missions! Today's update for U.V.S. Nirmana adds 10 new bonus missions that will require you to use familiar tools in unfamiliar ways, increasing in difficulty to challenges that may at first seem impossible. steamcommunity.com/games/253…

Are you a 2D game artist looking for a new job? Do you live in the Redmond, WA area? Do you think that UI is the most exciting part of a video game? Were you sad when skeuomorphic design went out of style? Consider joining the Coincidence team! coincidence.games/artist/

I was cleaning out my garage and found the TIS-100 manual I printed when the game came out. It’s now looking lore accurate having been subjected to a decades worth of garage dust.

Bonus Puzzle #10 - DESIGNER'S NOTEBOOK ... which is actually not a puzzle, but a set of 12 new puzzles, most of which require you to design a production line able to build two different products using conditional inputs and commands. It's challenging! steamcommunity.com/games/227…
