Today’s session was all about playtesting the awesome maps we created with *** on Tuesday! 🎮 We spent time on ***’s map, which had an exciting twist—waves of enemies attacking our core while we worked to destroy theirs. ⚔️ As a team, we explored her design, and together we pinpo...

This week was huge for The Living Death! We stuck to our plan, and it paid off: Tuesday was for focused, thoughtful building, and Thursday brought the pressure with our time-based challenge.

On Tuesday, we picked up some new tricks, like using mending stations to keep our units ...

You did it! You beat the Chasm Challenge in only 90 minutes of gameplay— the fastest any Recess cohort has ever completed this challenge. I am beyond impressed!

Here’s what you accomplished:

- Survived 17 enemy waves.
- Destroyed 222 enemy units.
- Created 29 units of your own....

Last Thursday, the girls kicked off their biggest, most epic challenge yet: Epic Attack Map! This map is no joke—there are 19 enemy cores standing between us and victory. 💥

We started building up our factory last week, and today we cranked it up a notch by jumping into unit pro...

Today, we kept the momentum going in our Epic Attack Map and took out 4 more enemy cores, bringing our total to 7! 🚀 That leaves just 12 cores left to obliterate! However, we hit a snag with our resource management—our unit production was gobbling up all our resources, leaving u...

This was one of the most impressive Mindustry sessions I’ve ever been a part of at Recess (and I’ve run well over 100 sessions). Ladies, you absolutely blew me away today.

We started with a clear goal: Defeat the Chasm Challenge before wave 25. Here’s what you accomplished:

- R...

Today was all about power, strategy, and some serious teamwork as we tackled the Glacier Attack challenge once again! We built up a fierce army of ground units—aka our violent babies, aka slaybies—and sent them charging in for battle. 💥

Our big move? Creating a diversion with a...

I had the pleasure of filling in for **** today and joining the ******** cohort, and I had SO much fun! We started with a sandbox challenge, where I tasked everyone with creating a silicon setup. The group flew through the challenge, so I upped the difficulty—first a silicon setu...

This week, we focused on two big things: reflection and communication—skills that are just as important as the builds we make in the game!

✨ The Power of Reflection
It can be hard to take a step back and reflect when the action is nonstop, but we realized how important it is. Re...

I substituted for ***** today and had an absolute blast. Shoutout to ****** for leading us through a difficult campaign on planet Erekir.

I was insanely impressed at how we worked as a team and delegated different responsibilities. We were mining, combining, building, and comma...

This week, we've been laser-focused on our wave defense challenge, with the **** locked in, iterating, and learning from each attempt! Each round has been a lesson, and we’ve taken time to pause, reflect, and plan our improvements. The **** shared some awesome reflections—not jus...

Today, we dove into the Feed a Turret challenge, and wow—what a session! 🚀 In this challenge, we faced a wave of enemies trapped behind a barrier that wouldn’t budge until we destroyed it. That meant that we controlled when the wave would strike, giving us time to prepare for th...

Today, we hopped into the sandbox and unleashed our inner engineers as we explored high-tier units! We’ve been rocking those tier 1 babies, but now it's time for them to grow up into some beefy babies! 💥

In our fun-filled Beefy Baby Meet 'n' Greet, the girls got to use item and...

Today was extra special because we had a guest from the community, ****, join us to share his impressive map-making knowledge in Mindustry! 🤩 **** walked us through the tools in the mapmaker, giving us tips on where to place resources for maximum efficiency, how to configure ene...

This week was packed with achievements and fresh challenges! On Tuesday, we finally conquered our wave defense map—woohoo! 🥳 The hard work paid off, and we were all super proud of our teamwork. Today, we had a special guest: ********! After all our practice, we felt ready to tak...

I’m SO happy to be back with The Living Death crew this week after missing out last Thursday! 🎉 The girls absolutely crushed it, showing off all the new knowledge they picked up and sharing some seriously rad builds. 🏗️💡

After the build show-and-tell, we shifted gears to tack...

Today we had an exciting addition to The Living Death—welcome to the crew, *****!! 🎉 To make sure everyone (new and old) felt confident, we tackled a deep-dive focus challenge that reviewed some of our key builds. Each player got their own territory, and their mission? Get coppe...

We’re back from the holiday break, and ********** wasted no time diving into our next challenge: Chasm. This attack map brought a fresh twist to our gameplay, with its sparse resources forcing us to carefully plan every move. Resource allocation and build efficiency were the name...

We had an action-packed session today as we jumped between different challenges and maps! 🌌 We kicked things off in Sandbox, where everyone showed off their ******** builds and teamed up to refine and improve them. Lots of cool moments where feedback was shared, ideas were swapp...

Today, we reattempted the Feed a Turret challenge from last week with a fresh perspective and some revamped strategies! ✨ We began by revisiting the goals we set for ourselves: experimenting with cryofluid and testing stronger ammo types.

The session kicked off with an informati...

We missed one of our awesome teammates, ****, this week, so we decided to hit pause on the Epic Attack Map until she's back. Instead, we took a trip down memory lane and revisited some of our earlier attack maps to see how far we’ve come since our first attempts. And wow, what a ...
