This milestone is another reminder of how far this journey has come, from developing Biomass alone to attending Gamescom with Xsolla, meeting publishers, and now becoming part of the DevGAMM Awards judging panel.

None of this would feel as meaningful without your support. Every wishlist, every comment, every discussion here on Steam motivates me to keep pushing Biomass further.

Thank you for being part of this journey.

Now... back to developing Biomass. There are still plenty of creatures waiting to be brought to life. 👀

See you in the next Dev Log!
