I've had a few extra follows recently, so for starters huge thanks 🙏✨ For those that are seeing this: Hello, my name is Sam and I'm 1/4 of the team working on Lone Pine, a point-and-click-style adventure game set in a fictional national park full of cryptids 📸🌲 1/2
Why am I recording Izzie lines while simultaneously playing chubby bunny? 🐰
You'll have to play the Lone Pine demo next year to find out! 👀

And that’s a wrap! Huge week for the team at MIGW 🥳🎉
I’m equal parts ready to sleep for a week and do a big LP push 😅 Showcases are a lot of work, but seeing the excitement from your playtesters firsthand is worth all the effort 🥹 Huge thanks to everyone that stopped by!

So excited that Catto has released! I played it last year at Qld Games Fest and it filled me with so much joy 🐱💖
It's on sale on Steam now, and the price to warm-and-fuzzy ratio is off the charts!! If this is your jam you'd be crazy not to pick it up!! 🙂↕️

I'd really like to finish Rosewater this weekend. I've been surprised by how long it is and how many meaningful choices you get to make.
Like many modern adventure games, the focus is more on storytelling than puzzles, but there is a lot of story to tell.

Spirit Crossing isn’t specifically a game about public transit vibes but it also isn’t NOT a game about public transit vibes
