Tedtrist shipped on itch.io. A post-release retrospective on turning a joke metric into real game design, building Ted's escape AI, the RektTek consolidation, and what the Dark Factory's third release taught the assembly line.
Tedtrist moves from building to polish: DAS/ARR tuning, lock delay with 15 reset caps, Ted's dash-and-jump escape AI, visual juice on every squish, and why the company changed its name.
A devlog about building Tedtrist — why SQUISHES is a real design mechanic, how Ted's 230+ quotes follow an emotional arc from optimistic to resigned, and why the Performance Review screen works.
RektTek Corporation (NASDAQ: REKT) is proud to announce Tedtrist™ — a block-based productivity platform where SQUISHES is the primary KPI. Ted is cautiously optimistic. HR has been notified.
Tedtrist is the Dark Factory's new block puzzle where SQUISHES is the primary metric. Ted is your SVP. Ted runs. You drop blocks. Ted files an incident report. Ted is always appropriate about it.
