the real winner was ernesto actually

[@misapheonix]

So glad you guys are so serious about keeping the game alive. Am curious if anyone knows what Mobius Digital's current project is?

[@xen-42]

I think someone somewhere did acknowledge they've started a new game now that the Switch port is done, but I think that's all that's known right now

[@misapheonix]

@@xen-42 damn, thought they woulda started one years ago. . . Oh well; there's little chance that they havent got more ideas to gamify eh

[@juliettegeo5002]

[@xen-42]

[@FunkyShoe-zd5tz]

[@xen-42]

symbiosis sweep

[@CelestialsStorm]

“Magistarium had the most forgettable Ernesto” I’m sorry did the custom asset for it mean NOTHING to you??? /j /lh Jokes aside, hearing that we were unanimously voted for first place gets me pretty emotional (Heyo it’s Luna on her KZbin channel, just in case you were confused on who this is)

[@xen-42]

surely it was just bc the rest of the mod was so memorable that it eclipsed the ernesto easter egg! or smthng

[@spacepianogames]

I can't wait to definitely compete in the next one!

[@xen-42]

you should!

[@spacepianogames]

@@xen-42 I would have this time but college decided to throw a massive amount of work at me, so really hoping I'm able to next time! I feel like whenever one of these jams happens it really pushes the whole modding scene forwards.

[@drjames5]

Xen is secretly mr beast and pays for the mod jam prize by himself

[@xen-42]

Real and true (Not real, thank you to all the donators listed on the jam page!)

[@Someone-hj2mn]

The community is slowly losing their minds and I love it

[@xen-42]
