From the Rapture to the fiery PIT of hell // September Future Friends Newsletter
Buckle up for this months edition as we tell you all about our games from craziest to cutest 🥰
Hey all,
The date is the 30th of September 2025 so if you are reading this we have been left behind in the rapture.
All that remains littering the streets are “soccer mom” cars, black labradors named Coco, and the scent of dollar bills blowing in the wind as the raptured emptied their pockets and let their wealth soar through the wind. Never looking back, never looking down… you should never look down…
Anyway! I guess that means it’s just us sinners left! Yippee! Btw have we told you recently about a demonic slot machine game where you fall into the fiery pits of hell??
We can’t wait to get into this month because holy cannoli a lot has been going on at Future Friends HQ (aside from rapturetok) … So let’s get into it!
🎰🍋🍀🍒 BEAT THE ODDS 🔔💸💎🎰
It finally happened folks... Our slot machine roguelike, demonic lovechild of Balatro and Buckshot Roulette, the un-rapturable viral sensation CloverPit LAUNCHED on Steam LAST WEEK!!!
Here are some completely normal numbers from the past few days that we’d love to share with you:
🍋 300,000+ copies sold (in 4 days)!!!
🍀 Number 10 in top sellers on Steam!!
🍒 There were 89,000 watchingCloverPiton Twitch at the same time?!!!?
🔔 All time player peak (so far) of over 22k?!?
💎 Destructroid said: “It’s addictive, fun, and chaotic, and the best game of its kind since Jimbo took over our lives and culture.”
Someone told us to stop sharing big numbers like this, and to that we say *blows raspberry* 😏. Anyway, if you haven’t already, what are you waiting for?! Go play CloverPit right now (jks you should of course finish the newsletter first).
Future Friends Roundup!
🗡️ Solo dev Friedemann dropped the first ever demo for his new roguelike Slots & Daggers !!!
The sounds are eargasmic, the little guys are cool and freaky, and the gameplay is maybe too addictive… 🤷
If you are a fan of Dark Fantasy aesthetics, when coins go clink clink clink, or just as big fangirls of Friedemann as we are then check it out!
🧋 Dev team GigaPuff just dropped the first demo for their social chatroom game On-Together!
This virtual hangout space puts your self-care and wellbeing at the forefront of productivity, encouraging connection with friends and fostering an environment for a healthy work/play balance throughout your day!
We here at FFG can’t stop meeting up in On-Together for our remote work days so trust us when we say you will NOT regret it 💖 You may even find us there in the demo!
🏚️ Viral horror game where you inspect potentially haunted cabins, The Cabin Factory, is coming to consoles on October 16th!!
Soon you’ll be able to clock in for your Cabin Inspecting job via the Nintendo Switch, PS5, PS4, Xbox Series S & X as well as Xbox One!
Team Lore
Now, as you can imagine, a LOT of the team have been enjoying Silksong this month and bracing themselves for the colder months coming up in this ol’ Northern Hemisphere. Soup season hasn’t stopped us from getting up to the following shenanigans:
🪴 Are your plants looking a little sad and in need of TLC? Say no more. Our very own Kris is the man to go to for all your plant rehabilitation needs. Looks like Louisa isn’t the only one running a niche establishment (never forget the small pet hotel…).
🐝 Speaking of particular skills, Thomas is NOT the person to go to for your holiday apartment bookings. We’ve heard some interesting and frightful stories this month from his family vacations.
🐹 Adam has welcomed a new rodent friend into his family! Everyone say hello to Sweetie!
🍻 Caitlin took inspiration from everyone’s favourite Vanellus bird, the Northern Lapwing, and has migrated westward to Ireland! Slàinte!
🏆 Grace’s sci-fi book Floating Hotel is one of Waterstones Paperbacks of the year! We are very proud of our very cool author friend who is a joy to know AND a joy to read!
🌸 Friends of Future Friends 🌸
To the surprise of no one, we yapped too much and made this newsletter too long again…
And yet we still have so much to say! We highly recommend checking out this extra bonus blog here to see all the news from our very cool games from the client side!
Check it out and give some love to our indie dev friends! ⬇️
Wowee what a month!
Thank you for reading our ramblings and being oh so COOL. Can you believe October is fast approaching? Do we all have our Halloween costumes prepared? Who is taking one for the team and dressing up as CloverPit’s jar of piss? Much to think about.
Anyway… Another newsletter down! We very well might just get through a whole year of consistent monthly posting and what a celebration that could be! Should we host a party in On-Together? 👀
Until next time! 👋
