Hey, everyone! I've only just now gotten around to setting up Bluesky, so there's not much to see here yet. Rest assured, more info about our games (mostly Filtration) will be here soon! Until then, check out and wishlist Filtration on Steam here: store.steampowered.com/app/3415080/...

I'm happy to announce that after three patches, Filtration is in a solid enough state that updates are moving from "fixing issues" to "adding cool new things." (Issues will still be fixed, of course--I'm just no longer in a position where I feel like I have to fix anything urgently.)

So far the reception to Filtration has been beyond what I expected--people are buying the game, playing the game, and leaving glowing reviews!

FILTRATION IS OUT! This is only the magnum opus I've been working on since 2019, so, y'know, buy it if you like puzzle platformers I guess. store.steampowered.com/app/3415080/...

Here's my MS Paint sketch of a platforming section in Filtration, and the finished level.
Top: an MS Paint sketch of a gear train, with several parts labeled ("one of the second-floor rooms: swinging on beams that retract with the 'sudden retract' mechanism," "120° bevels for upper rooms," "bevels," "reduction," "big rotating walkway," "swing platforms") Bottom: this level in the finished game, showing that there is indeed a big rotating walkway with bevel gears etc. connected to it

Okay folks, let's see how many of these I can answer ...
1 like = 1 answer, but it’s about your indie game! 1. What kind of game is it? What genre? 2. How long is it? How many levels, hours of gameplay, etc.? 3. What platforms / input devices are supported? 4. How much is it going to cost? 5. Is this a casual or serious game? 6. Is it singleplayer or multiplayer? 7. Is there any support for user-created content? 8. What gave you the idea to make this game? Inspirations? 9. How big is the dev team? Just you, or did you have help? 10. Tell me about a feature that took a long time to get right. 11. Does the game use physics? If so, how? 12. Will this game keep getting updated, or is it done when it’s done? 13. What happens after you beat the game? Postgame content? 14. How long has it taken to develop? What was the journey like? 15. What style are the graphics? 16. Is there music? How did you get it? 17.
