Hi! I'm going to use this new start as an opportunity to share more of my personal life. If you're into cooking, traveling, photography, and whatever new micro-obsession I have next month, you're more than welcome to join me. 💕 Starting with some of my #streetphotography from Seoul in 2022! #35mm

We wrote about the perils of making your second game, and everything we've learned from ours. It's a lengthy read, but hopefully useful to some fellow indies out there. If you don't have all day, scroll all the way down for the key takeaways. 😌

With its fresh herbs, fatty meatballs, acidic pickles, spicy sauce, and crunchy bread, this bánh mì variation may just be the ultimate sandwich.

These cheesy pan-fried gochujang noodle rolls went viral a while back, and for good reason. Certainly not the healthiest dish, but sometimes you got to indulge in cheesy noodle goodness.

Remember when we dropped a lo-fi mini album and never brought it up again? So in case you never heard of it: Lacuna Lo-Fi is a chill remix of select tracks from our first game's soundtrack, available for free on the streaming platform of your choice! #lofi #gamemusic #ost

We never shared this amazing Between Horizons #conceptart by @fredgambino.bsky.social, which greatly informed the game's visuals in its early stages! You can still recognize the DNA of some areas, from top to bottom: the Bridge, Public Area, and Inner Hull. (The park idea was later scrapped.)

Not just for fans of ginger and those who want to be. Seemingly all staple ingredients of Chinese cuisine join forces in this simple, yet very effective chicken dish.

The first dessert to make it into the Hideout! Try it, and you'll understand why. Steam the rice, mix the sauce, cut the mango, and you have yourself a banger.

Four years on, Lacuna is still thriving. Earlier this year, it breezed past 300.000 copies sold, and we got to enjoy another orchestral rendition of its soundtrack. We never thought our debut title would make it this far. Thank you all so much, and happy anniversary! 🎻 #indiegame #indiedev

Not every good dish is complicated, and vice versa. Once the frozen dumplings are thawed and the broth is ready to go, Manduguk is quick to throw together and will soon become a favorite in your repertoire.

I first had this variation of Dakgalbi in a Hongdae restaurant in 2022, and it's been my favorite ever since. It's spicy, cheesy, and comforting, and tastes best with a group of friends around the table.
