Did you get to play Guernsey at the last NYC indie dev night? We love to see @benjapenguin.bsky.social daily updates on development 🎉🫶
I've been posting updates for my cozy graveyard game on Twitter, and I've been nervous about switching platforms.
...But now, I'm trying out Buffer to help post across several platforms.
So, expect Guernsey updates on BlueSky starting in just a little while! 👻 #gamedev #indieGameDev

Today's Guernsey: At @playcrafting.bsky.social's Indie Dev Night, people played the game under the encouraging paws of a hundred radiant lucky cats. I took four pages of terse and illegible notes, which will become tasks... tomorrow.
