Dear Steam community,

We would like to take this opportunity to inform you that we will be increasing the prices of our games on Steam starting next month.

We understand that this news may come as a surprise, and we want to assure you that we have not taken this decision lightly. As you're surely aware, over the past decade, the cost of development and production has increased significantly due to inflation. Inflation affects the cost of materials, wages, and other expenses, which has impacted our business operations. We need to adjust our pricing to keep up with these changes.

The new pricing for all of our games, from May 1st:

[table]

[/tr]
[/table]

All other currencies will be adapted to match the USD price using Steam's regional pricing recommendations, which of course means that actual price increases may vary. We apologize for not communicating all regional pricing updates in advance.

We remain committed to providing you with high-quality games and delivering the best possible gaming experience. We appreciate your continued support, and we hope that you will understand our need to adjust our pricing accordingly.

Thank you for your understanding, and we look forward to continuing to provide you with great games on Steam.

Sincerely,
Black Pants

Hey there,

Tiny & Big was reviewed for the Steam Deck, and we're happy to announce it's running pretty well (mostly).



The biggest hurdle is input, since this game was released way, way before Steam Input was a thing. This just means it doesn't handle Steam Deck input 100% perfectly out of the box. However, it's perfectly playable on the device with a few adjustments, and a matching input preset - each of the provided community layouts work very well! Excellent work, everyone!

Additionally, there's a bug in the native Linux version that makes the menu not register any mouse button input when run on Steam Deck. We therefore advise you to instead run the Windows build inside the magic Proton emulation layer. By the time this news is posted, that should be happening automatically after you install the game. Just in case it's not, you can set it up yourself, it's easy: go to Properites, then Compatibility. Activate the checkbox which says "Force the use of a specific Steam Play compatibility tool". You can then select the latest Proton version (we tested with Proton 7.0-4).

Everything else is going proper, so you should give it a whirl if you have one of those fancy devices laying around. Let us know what you think about the mobile Tiny & Big laser experience!

Have fun!
Black Pants

Hey guys, we just flipped the switch to enable the 64 bit build of Tiny & Big on Windows. This hopefully means a few good things for those of you running 64 bit Windowses:

• Physics performance will improve on modern CPUs, we've seen frame rates go up by about 10%
  
• Less out-of-memory errors or crashes when running on integrated graphics chips
  
• The sweet, fuzzy feeling that your 64 bit hardware purchases are just a little bit more justified.
