We launched our Church of Merch on Monday 17th September, so it’s high time for a retrospective! I’ll break it into three parts, so it’s not a total beast: this one’ll take you through the set-up, the next the merch itself and how it did in Month 1, and the final blog will be some searingly insightful […]

NOV #1: WHARTON
Happy not really anything month, everyone! We’ve had a v busy sprint (the most important part being I met Stacey Dooley at the BAFTA Breakthrough Brits party, obvs), so let’s get down to it. The key thing this sprint was a much better idea of what we’re doing with Christopher’s Build. I’ve updated the roadmap […]
OCT #1: UNDINE
Heyyyyyyyy everyone. Quite a busy past two weeks! I am sprawled in my sunny office grimacing at pigeons as they come and try to eat the food I’ve bought for the chickadees (the Birbsy family) and magpies (the Benny family). This the life of a tired Weather Factory dev. The headline is, of course, that […]
September #1: ROSSETTI
Before I get into what we’ve been up to, we have a š£CHANGE WARNINGš£! We’ve decided to push back the Dancer DLC release by one sprint (two weeks).Ā If you’ve read our retrospective, you’ll know that we ran hot trying to keep up with bug reports and feedback in the weeks after launch. This time, we’re […]
August #1: Porphyria
Happy Friday, beloveds! Here’s what we’ve been up to, this fine August sprint. Firstly, we went on holiday to Wales. It was totally rad and Alexis practically melted on the drive down into a soft, gooey glow of remembered happiness. Yay! And then of course we came back and did work. Most of Alexis’s week […]
Cultist Simulator: the retrospective
Alexis wrote a mini-retrospectiveĀ a couple of weeks ago which talks about the immediate aftermath of launch. Take a look if you haven’t already! This retrospective’ll go over some of the same points, but we’re looking at the whole project here. Itās worth mentioning that there are lots of things – both good and bad – […]
April #1: HOPKINS
So, this sprint has been… insane. We released the Explorer’s Build, which has been rapidly iterated on by Alexis to the point that we’re now on 2018.4.j.1, despite having two events and a bunch of international flights between last Monday and now. But seeing as text is super lame and definitely a dying medium, what […]
March #3: GWENDOLEN
This sprint’s title comes from my favourite literary lady, Gwendolen Harleth in George Eliot’s Daniel Deronda. That’s a lot of names to open this blog with, but we did a lot of things, sooooo… The big aim for this sprint was to get us ready for the EXPLORER’S BUILD, releasing on Monday! For which, I […]
Groovy Droogs Consortium, a.k.a. March #2 FORSTER
We are OFFICIALLY BACK FROM GDC! Alexis and I are a little zonked, so thank you for your patience while we ducked out from talking to you for a while and talked to a bunch of press and developers instead. Highlights from GDC include: Alexis took what we must presume to be the World’s Worst […]
AN ANNOUNCE! Cultist Simulator x Humble Bundle
In case you haven’t heard: we’ve signed a publishing deal with Humble Bundle, who are best know for being indie, ethical and delightful! This is our aspiration, too. (They’re also publishing Mineko’s Night Market, which I am stupid-excited about. But that’s not the point!) Weather Factory’s strength What AK and I are really good at […]
