I'm keeping an eye on Headliner. Really looking forward to playing it when it's out! (For anyone else who's reading this, play Open Mic and wishlist Headliner. If there was ever a need for some good, lighthearted comedy, it's now!) store.steampowered.com/app/1278360/...

Clam Man 2: Open Mic on Steam

OPEN MIC is the free prologue to the upcoming Clam Man 2: Headliner - a narrative adventure RPG where you escape your boring desk job to become a comedian!

Just finished implementing what I think is a really funny sequence in Clam 2 and I desperately want to share it, but at this point we're reaching late game spoilers so I kind of have to hold off. Making good progress but it's been a *lot* of work lately, hopefully I can keep it up!

Sometimes I really don't want to write another stand-up bit, and instead write ten times the amount of words just to circumvent it with something else. I won't say where this is, what this is, or where you can find it, but it's my favorite hidden scene yet.

Pleased and somewhat confused to announce that there is now not only a review of one of the in-game shows (obviously different depending on how it went), but also a chance to instead get a 1000-word essay written by an in-game critic about the relationship of art and critique

I want you to know that when "YOURSELF" in Clam2 says "I've suffered severe enough damage to all my sensibilities to just mindlessly yay-or-nay-say whatever wacky outcome the little icosahedron determines." that's me saying it, and meaning it, and calling out for help

During a section later in the game, you'll be able to go on tour with the Triad and have a great time

Happy new years from everyone (me) at Sideby Interactive! (also me) Been taking a bit of time off from development over the holidays and and almost complete break from social media, which has been amazing. Don't worry though, work on Clam2 is moving forward really well! Will be sharing more soon!

There are several games I still haven't played simply because 25 years ago the only pitch I ever heard was "D&D sucks and you suck for liking it. Play THIS instead." I left D&D for other RPGs many years ago and still haven't tried them. Sell your game up without putting their favorite game down.

As someone who enjoys a variety of TTRPGs, I just find the regular dunking on 5e Players and Enjoyers super boring tbh. Sorry their game is popular, go play your own game and enjoy it! Nobody is going to listen to you insult them then go "Yknow what? Maybe I SHOULD play Fishblade."

I worked with Antonia and the Coolmath Games team to put together this short point'n'click last year, and now it's being launched on steam! Very happy to see the team make the jump from their own site to Steam and very excited for what's next 👀
