Favorite moment of todays event: A person was sitting quietly, very intently playing Watchword for the first time. "Oh no...... I'm gonna have to buy this game" 😂
Loved to see so many people enjoy my little creation ♥️

If you're in the Raleigh area definitely come check out Watchword at OCIG! This will be my first time doing a booth so should be lots of fun 😁

Watchword is TWELVE BUCKS right now and it's extremely worth it. If you're frustrated from dying in Silksong repeatedly, this is a game that's surprisingly relaxing for how challenging it is.

🥁🥁🥁 Watchword has a release date!
As much as I'd love to delay my game for #silksong like other cool indie games, my irl son is due to be born in a few weeks and I had a goal to release this game before that 😅
Any wishlists & shares are greatly appreciated ❤️

Optimizing code for performance is such a weird thing... So many of my systems are pretty easy to make more efficient just by putting some actual thought and design behind them rather than just rapidfire prototyping without a plan.

Every so often I think, "I should make a game about birding" only to remember that the pure joy and thrill of birdwatching comes from doing it for realsies in beautiful nature with people I love and if I made a game I'd probably hate birds by the end..

My brain might be too smooth for this feature but you gotta give the people what they want!
Glitch pieces coming soon to a Watchword near you! Use them to create interesting intersections of words, they count as one letter vertically and another horizontally!
