I destroyed my favourite sweater in a fight with a particularly sturdy pumpkin 😭 on the bright side, it was a great excuse to order yarn 🧶 (to fix this) 😅

I got annoyed with the mohair sweater for taking so long, so it started a new project... In lace weight. 🧶

After a long day of work yesterday, we finally got a new demo version for you guys! Get ready for Rottenroots Episode 1 - adding new content from the beginning of the game!

We spent all day deciding on visual effects for a new trailer... Sometimes it's really hard not to get lost in the details

It's finally the season to cuddle up under a nice crochet blanket! 🧶🍂

Another quick announcement: at the moment, Games Against Living Miserably is taking place on Steam. We're partaking, and we're going to make a donation for their cause after the festival!

So we've been discussing if our game needs a subtitle. Do you think so? Our main contenders are "Rottenroots: Beneath the Canopy", "Rottenroots: Secrets in the Soil", and "Rottenroots: A Song of Soil and Sins".

After days of tireless knitting in the garden, I'm back from a short trip - and almost done with the torso! 🧶

It's travel time, so it's time to free my mohair sweater from The Pile. Lace weight hives you a lot of hours of work for a relatively small volume 🙃 (read this as: wow this is taking really long with the thin yarn) 🧶

I've posted about our key art before, and I wanted to let y'all know that we ended up with this design! Title separated into two words, but more importantly we fell in love with the purple hue!

Breaking all the rules with this one: it's not a Nordic pattern, but only the yoke will be colorful, and it's raglan increases!
(Yeah the mohair sweater is in timeout for now) 🧶

This is what we ended up with!

So we've been getting some mixed feedback about the watercolor splashes on the characters' faces... What do you think, distracting are adding to the artistic whimsy?

Yeah nothing quite like frogging mohair yarn (because I was too lazy to make a gauge Swatch and realized my yoke was too short just when I finished one sleeve 😭) 🧶

We have a thing for characters with hidden agendas and secrets... Giving a twist to a character can make them so much more real!

Careful when choosing your #yarn: this cotton may be really nice and soft, but it's just a bunch of individual strings and of course splits like crazy. Blankets really take time when you need to redo almost every stitch 🫠

Sooo... Things are getting a little more serious. Now we're approaching a time when we can actually set a realistic publishing date! Most likely it will be some time in the beginning of next year!

Let's talk representation: how important is it to you to have a game with diverse characters?

Friendly reminder: now is the time to start working on autumn sweaters! Like me, doing a mohair lace sweater in forest green with little raindrop beads! 🧶

We spent a stupid amount of time arguing if the name of our game (one word) should be divided in two words for the key art (for aesthetic reasons) 🤦‍♀️

Creating the hairpin crochet panels is fun, nice and repetitive. But joining them? Yikes. 🧶
