I adored working with Max Inferno on A Little to the Left, and am very excited to be working with them full time on the next Thing!
We recently expanded our tiny team of 3, to 9 people! That may still be small but it’s a BIG deal to us!

We're excited to keep making fun games and have a better work/life balance with help from our talented team, and by moving to a 4-day work week. Excited to show you what we're working on next!

all I'll say about the "Now it feels like indies are making the same 3 genres" discourse is that if you really think that, maybe do some digging? Go on Itch once in a while? There's so much experimental art being created on a weekly basis that maybe isn't getting as much attention but it's out there

I don't have a joke about game development, but I have a lot of strong ideas about how game development jokes should be written.
