Rolled credits on Hades 2 last night. A huge round of applause to the entire @supergiantgames.bsky.social team for knocking it out of the park a second time. A shining example of the genre and how Early Access should be handled. ⏳🌙🌙🌙⏳

Got the chance to talk with @david-wilde.bsky.social about the unexpected success of @tinybookshopgame.com and the importance of literature.
Tiny Bookshop, an adorable game about selling books out of a small trailer, draws inspiration from some unexpected places. We interviewed developer David Wildemann to learn more.
