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!

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!

TIL that there's a #pico8 player for homebrew consoles, including the PS Vita. Always felt that I'd try more games if I could take them on the go, and now I can! github.com/jtothebell/fak

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!

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

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? 🥲
