Time flies, huh? Just wanted to take a moment to thank for all their support during (and after!) development, without which Teacup probably would have probably ended up as a cute but unfinished demo on itch.io.

Happy Anniversary, Teacup! It's been a whole year already since this little frog embarked on her journey for tea. Teacup was our first project as a team, and while it's a simple and short game, we're so happy to see it has brought joy to many. Thank you all for your support!

Looking for something spooky to play? Smarto Club took a break from being wholesome and went spookyo for a week to develop RENTAL, a short and eerie adventure about the dangers of renting a house in the middle of nowhere. Check it out for free on @itchio! smarto-club.itch.io/rental

Pro-tip: It's actually ok to nominate yourself. That's not me saying this, a lot more orgs than you think are completely fine with it! Bonus: they then also know you actually want to be nominated. So yes, get other people to help out, but also please do nominate yourself!

This has been a lot of fun to set up! Looking forward to seeing the path people will vote for.

Fascinating thread!

Some have called 2022 the year of "microgames". In the wake of @poncle_vampire a host of ~$2 games were created mostly by solo developers or tiny #IndieDev teams in the span of a few months. Let's talk game dev experimentalism! 🧵👇 1/9

This is a pretty interesting approach!

Would anyone be interested in seeing some pitches we decided to not go with before starting Thirsty Suitors? Most likely the ideas would be revisited in a different form at some point in the future or not at all depending on how we feel at the time.

Last week of development has been that satisfying time when you finally start to put together the work we've been doing in parallel and it starts to feel like a game, not just a jumble of assets and systems. Looking forward to showing it to people!

Oh look, it's my brain!

indie problem #50838 designer brain: 🌸never compare yourself🌸 you are on a unique journey of learning & growth, embodied by your art~ business brain: this game is 20% less pretty than that one, yet must sell 500% more than that other one, or else maybe we don't eat 🤔📈

Still hold this series dear to my heart. Happy with how the story resolved but would love to see them on PC someday!

Gravity Rush celebrates its 10th anniversary in the US today! Released on the PS Vita, Kat became somewhat of a mascot for Sony's last handheld console. 10 years later, a lot has changed at PlayStation, but I hope they won't forget about Japan Studio's legacy. #gravityrush

Part of being a #gamedev producer is managing the team's morale and taking the fear and anxiety away from the team. But then you're holding a bunch of fear and anxiety, so what do you do with that? Is anxiety a crafting material? Can you cross stitch it onto a pillow? 🥲
