HEY I PUT OUT A GAME?!?!

Absolutely in awe of the outpouring of support from the community; having passed a full $30,000, we're going to be able to pursue our goal of a communal space for Chicago indie devs. Thank you. There's still a couple days left to get your CIGS tickets for cheap!

Can finally show off the cover art for SLAUGHTER VOID, courtesy of Alexey Gorboot. Rad as all hell, really bringing home the pulp-fantasy paperback influence.

Just played "Slaughter Void" from @wurmfud.itch.io, loved how they evolved the hot line miami concept, to me it felt like if DOOM met Hot Line Miami.

Love the art direction and overall the whole gameplay design feels sooo good!

Give it a try there's a demo on steam, will 100% wait for its release👏

So far the top two suggestions are adding animals and new biomes #cozy #indiegame

Released my first Devlog for Grove! I mostly go over why I made Grove and my design decisions, I'm hoping to have another more robust devlog exploring actual development in the coming weeks!

As a big fan of ASMR content this was super cool to see, the ASMR Gamer did a playthrough of Grove!! Idk how other devs feel when people play their games but watching the video I felt SO vulnerable. Great ASMR if you're a fan :) #asmr #indiegame #grove

For anyone looking to support the Chicago indie game scene, this is (in my opinion) the BEST way to do that, all contributions go straight back into supporting the community
We somehow not only blew through our initial goal in THREE HOURS but also our first stretch goal- needless to say C.I.G.S. 2025 is about to hit whole new levels for us. If you want to help build the future of Chicago indies, check us out!

Just made a gameplay trailer for Grove! (per the recommendation of someone who played the demo, found my website, EMAILED me, and said they loved it and I should have a trailer on my store page so more people will play, it was very sweet and made my day)
