The Last Mothership is still under construction and won't be joining this Next Fest. If you've already enjoyed our playtest and are looking for your next addictive incremental game, we wholeheartedly recommend checking out It's Fine 🔥🖥️.Our friends 🐶Dog & 😺Cat (the lovely husband-and-wife duo behind Buma Games) are participating in Steam Next Fest with their game It's Fine! Have a blast with Joe, your demanding doge Project Manager, in this funny, nerdy, and very meta game about making a game. We've been playing It's Fine since its playtest phase, and can't wait to dive back into it in the coming days. The Mothership greatly approves of Joe's methods. For fans of Tower Wizard and Gnorp Apologue, this is a must-play! Enjoy Next Fest and see you all in the next update,- Tiny North Games
