- To be clear, it's more than just a compatibility patch. The patch lets the game detect when it's running on Switch 2 and turns on a bunch of lighting effects that had to be nerfed for the Switch 1. So it's practically a native Switch 2 game in a Switch 1 package
- For anyone who doesn't recognize the Bluesky handle @mossmouth.bsky.social, that's Derek Yu, creator of Spelunky 1 & 2 and UFO50! We were completely stunned and honored that Derek was willing to create the cover for this!
- Additionally! If you order from their website, you have to option of selecting an alternative cover designed by none other than @mossmouth.bsky.social!
- I cannot wait to go into my local Best Buy and see this on the shelf!
- Excited to announce we will now be working with both @sdxgames.bsky.social and @lostincult.co.uk to bring retail editions of ANIMAL WELL to people far and wide! Available indefinitely and containing final patches www.lostincult.co.uk/animalwell superdeluxegames.jp/collections/...
- These are going to sell for $10,000 on eBay and everyone's going to be like whY diDn'T anYboDy tEll mE tHesE wERe aVaiLaBle fOr prE-OrDer?

- Hear ye, hear ye! The #Switch2 patch for Animal Well is now live! There was a bug we weren't able to detect or test for prior to launch, but it should all be fixed now
- WTF @bestbuysocial.bsky.social? I was expecting to get my #Switch2 on launch day! If I'd known you would ship it ground I would have arranged for in-store pickup 😡
- I consider myself pretty well versed in the ways of the Animal Well, but the first user-created map, Puzzle Well, is kinda kicking my ass @furyforged.bsky.social created a great video on how you can download and play this map as well as create your own! www.youtube.com/watch?v=NxcO...

- Happy 1st birthday, Animal Well!

- Layer 5 just dropped? www.reddit.com/r/animalWell...

- This guy has exquisite taste
- Billy just gave his GDC talk on the making of Animal Well. He ran out of time for Q&A so they escorted him to a separate area for follow-up questions
- Happening upon something you worked on on an actual store shelf never gets old @lostincult.co.uk @tronknotts.bsky.social
- I can't believe my daughter just turned 4!. They grow up so fast
- not a Nazi salute btw

- Said goodbye to my Tesla today. Just couldn't stomach driving around in Musk-mobile. I hope the market gets flooded with these and people struggling financially can pick them up cheap

- What are you talking about? I just updated it in 2015!
- You don't stalk what I'm up to at every step? I'm very disappointed
- Videogames create really unrealistic expectations, like how in Animal Well you can just find free eggs lying about
- Happy Groundhog Day!

- I do vaguely remember the cards now that you mention it. Trying to think who may have pulled out of the show last minute and why I wouldn't have been able to say anything about it at the time
- Mark your calendars - Star of Providence is coming out on 2/20! Congrats, @bigmode.bsky.social!

- Thank you so much! All credit for how good the game is goes to Billy Basso. I was just lucky to be the guy he reached out to to help out with the business stuff! :)
- There was some kind of missing card? I have no memory of anything card-related at PSX, but then again that must have been like 6 years ago at this point. Any more context you could add?

- It's not like they didn't warn you

- You guys are going to have to take my word for it, but #AnimalWell just won Indie Game of the Year in China. Ever grateful to our wonderful fans over there! @bigmode.bsky.social @animalwell.bsky.social

- In an alternate reality, the UHC CEO killer could have been the kind of indie game developer I'd have coffee with during GDC web.archive.org/web/20231208...
- Normally I wouldn't slum it by playing a game with a metacritic score that doesn't start with a 9, but Indiana Jones and the Great Circle looks like it could be a good reason to turn my Xbox on

- Already downloaded it and waiting for it to unlock tomorrow!
- OK now you've done it. Now you'll have to pay $5 more if you want it today. You just couldn't listen, could you?
- Only 24 minutes left until the Steam Autumn Sale ends so if you wanted to pick up #AnimalWell on sale, now's the time. If you let this window close, you'll have to wait about 2 weeks until the Winter Sale starts and that would be a tragedy
