in an effort to make a puzzle game hybrid, we've started working on an extremely early combat prototype (no final visuals, missing game feel stuff + bugs)!
Aiming for a mix between hack-n-slash and tactics wrapped up in a Zelda inspired adventure game🧩

Teaching AI literacy.
(GenAI is wrong A LOT. And even though people tend to think it saves time, we now have randomized controlled trials that show situations where it takes *more* time even when participants self-report it's saving them time.)

I was feeling a little burnt out on bug fixing and prototyping, so I took a detour make the moment-to-moment gameplay feel just a little bit better with vfx.
Worked like a charm to build some development momentum 😤
switching tasks can really be a huge help sometimes.

It seems like we are achieving something which is not that common on Steam: Approaching 1k reviews 1 year after launch.
Apparently, if a game hits 1k revies, it is very fast. Not many claw their way there over a year lol.
