UPDATE 40 is OUT!!!

Update 40 for Murder Miners is OUT motherfucker!!!!!

It's been a long time coming and has been a really rocky road to get this out, but it's finished! And on the main branch! This also includes the music I wrote for the Murder Miners album that you can now hear in-game, no betas required!

The update features so much stuff I'm not even gonna try to list all of it. New guns and new blocks and trigger volumes and new maps and weapon skins and an overhauled customization screen and chat and So much. I made the in-game music and wrote the Murderpedia, an in-game resource to learn about the game's mechanics.

Darkhare (mmh guy) and I also made the animated trailer (they animated all the stuff, i did the little intro/outro and music and final edit) and we're super proud of it. You can watch it here. The team at Murder Miners Hub killed it.

The album has also been updated; new track for the Update 40 trailer and the bonus tracks have been moved to The Starfy Archives since they're unfinished and barely tracks. This also includes the full version of Goodbye, Murder Miners as it's about shit that has since been resolved with the team (and frankly I think it's quite bad anyways) but I'll keep it there for anyone who wants to find it. Particularly if anyone finds me via Liver Party because that track is technically Liver Party shit. The instrumental is staying on the album though as a nice little closer.


Murder Miners is cheap as hell on Steam and you can get it here!

I should mention that we can't update the Xbox One port. That version is in JForce's hands and is very, very buggy and out of date. Don't get the shitty xbox version it sucks.


Fun Tip: the little Update 40 logo that's on the image above i actually made for this news page first and then i needed a logo for the trailer so i used it there too and now its just next to the MM logo in-game for the period while u40 is new because double really liked it :)




So what's next for my dumb ass?
Well, interaction decay's actually in a weird spot because Ive been going through a lot of change in the past few days. I was so angry and desperate and hopeless days ago and I just see things better now. It comes to everyone, even if it can be slow. Its ok. We all try to help each other and with my calm i know i deeply need to make art that helps people the same way Isaac helped me develop. Its okay! Im still an individual too if this reads weird like im still atheist/leftist as fuck but there's just a peace that's come across me. We are not enemies! I talk negatively of jforce on streams or on this website but I've read their words on archived pages and i see they are not my enemy. They are indie developers just like us who are emotional and retaliating just like I used to be! I hope they are willing to talk to me, if not the team, at least me. I think we have a misunderstanding here and I dont think they realized how they're hurting people like me, and the community they have fostered even if they dont like us. I dont wish to censor their art I only wish that they don't harm us and they are. and i think they percieve us as hurting them and tbf thats my fault and i need to explain myself to them. Jforce if you are reading this by chance, I can be reasoned with, we all can, please talk to us! We do not wish to fight you! There are people, even those who want to see MMX genuinely, who are being hurt and angered further by what you're doing! please!!!


Ok. Interaction decay. Its in a weird spot because of that. I wanted to explore writing punk vocals, emotions straight from my heart, but with this calm i just cant anymore. I still love the music, joan is amazing and I love her art and what she's taught me about myself and the world. She may seem abrasive or "evil" or "lesser" but she is a genuinely amazing person driven so, so hard by her passion to make art.

So interaction decay will actually just be instrumentals. its what i understand how to write. its my place. i love writing vgm and making and designing and interpreting games as art. Ive just realized how important this really is. Im gonna make art or die trying.

At some point: i gotta find someone who knows their shit about isaac LUA to get the isaac soundtrack mod in a state where you can actually use it with the mods it's supposed to support. I just can't find resources on it. Will probably relaunch the mod and keep the old version for vanilla compatability whenever it gets done.

Godot's been back on the brain. Maybe start prototyping some things. Thought a fun project could be to make dumb little screensavers after falling in love with the fuckin Marine Aquarium 3 screensaver you can still get. The world of tech needs to have nice little things again.

Oh yeah and the ub funkeys stuff on the badass cool games channel stopped because the game got too ass. I have footage i recorded improperly and the game's too loud but i might make something out of it because it'd be mildly funny. Might throw some things i think would be funny to share on there in the future. It's not really a main thing for me to do it's like bottom priority it's just there if I'm in a rut really. Maybe more stuff there soon??



That's all for now; go enjoy update 40! It's a lot of work the team's been doing for years and it's awesome.
