We had an awesome time at the MAG-C[www.mag-c.de], collecting live player feedback, meeting other indie devs, handing out stickers and checking out awesome cosplays.

While not everyone got it or enjoyed it, the feedback for Procrastinaut was amazing and very positive overall. Of all the people who stopped by to procrastinate some of the convention away, three players managed to grab all of the achievments.

To enshrine both their gaming chops and their commitment to procrastination, they are, in order:


Congratulations, I hope to see you beat the next one!

A big shoutout and thank you to my QA lead and booth support Bombentussi who really helped make the Procrastinaut booth a welcoming place.

Of course we want to thank the sponsors of the BASF Indie World and the actually very lovely people from Dark Origin for putting this whole convention together and inviting us.

If you're here, you probably like indie games, and all the other entries from the BASF Indie World are actually well worth checking out. So when you're done Procrastinating, have a look and see if you don't want to give them some love and support.

Beat Slayer by Byterockers, in case you ever wondered why Hades and Crypt of the Necrodancer never had a baby, because now they have!

Beyond the Edge of Owlsgard by WatchDaToast, which is a lovlingy crafted oldschool point&click adventure that will draw you into it's atmosphere in seconds

Cleo by Greycap, an amazing genre defying puzzle adventure that will swash your buckles and shiver your timbers and warm your heart like a sip of grog

Constance by Btf, which plays as well as it looks and will surely be remembered as a modern metroidvania milestone

Lose CTRL by Play from Your Heart, which you should play if you love tilting in video games or yell at your friends in multiplayer (it's not just me, right?)

Domekeeper by Bippinbits, who are apparently not going to stop making their indie game powerhouse even more awesome and added a whole multiplayer

The Journey of AutUmn by Artfactory, if you love lovingly hand-drawn art and a slow-burn narrative puzzle experience ... in space!

Casebook 1899 - The Leipzig Murders by Homo Narrans Studio, if you love detective games with fresh mechanics

Duru by Twisted Ramble, which let's you yell at your depression to stop messing with your day job, but it's not weird and also your day job is collecting food for your mole rat colony

I loved playing them and maybe you will, too.

Have an amazing week, even if you do most of it later, and remember:

Greetings! The Interstellar Allience for Leaving the Wrong Comment in Your Code is insisting that I read the follow statement:

• There was a major error in the initial release version that omitted two thirds of the content, but it has now been fixed

My apologies to everyone, please continue procrastinauting in style!

Greetings, slightly undermotivated space travellers. It's time to put off your deadlines and get properly stranded on some random gas giant.

Today, just a bit late for the Steam Awards and just a bit early for the Next Fest, is release day. The Procrastinaut is excited to meet each and every one of you, especially if there's something else you should be doing instead.

Additionally, Procrastinaut will be at the MAG-C[www.mag-c.de] in Erfurt, Germany, where you can play the game live and grab a free sticker. You can find us on the convention floor of Hall 2, Booth 2-304 on February 3-4, colloquially known as the Gaming Area. If you're a six year old, you even get in for free!

Happy procrastinating, and may your 2024 make all your dreams come true!

Greetings, pale blue dot dwellers! Grab your Authentic Human Beer and take a seat, because there is news! Release type of news, which is objectively the best news.

• Procrastinaut will launch on January the 26th, 2024.
  (This date is subject to procrastination accidents)
  
  
• The game will be fully free to play.

Meanwhile, you are free to wishlist, tell all your friends to wishlist, and make sure you have some time to absolutely waste away scheduled for Friday!

While you're here, I would like to give a big shoutout to all the people who have supported me with encouragement and playtesting behind the scenes! It means the world to me, and we would not be here without you.

I will leave you with the immortal words of the patron saint of catastrophic game releases and fellow space enjoyer, Sean Murray:

"We set out to make you feel emotions that you'd maybe not felt in a game before, and that's it. And that is worth the cost of entry for me, that feeling of stepping through a sci-fi book cover and that you'd landed on one of those worlds, and you'd had a moment of awe. [...] If we do that, I'm happy."

Take space-care,
buk
