"Sunset High isn’t just a game—it’s a meditation on memory, identity, and the choices that shape us. It’s a story about growing up, about learning to see others more clearly, and about finding meaning in the moments we wish we could change." www.gamesreviews.com/pc/pc-news/0... #firstimpressions

PAX East 2025 pick ups. Shout out to @nesmaker.bsky.social , @pizzapranks.bsky.social and @turnip.games !

How do you introduce a mechanic to the player? I hate tutorials so am always looking into diagetic, innovative ways to do so. In Sunset High we use a short story to try to hint at players they now have temporal powers. erraticunicorn.substack.com/p/the-advent... #flashfiction #shortstory

Our last show before release is coming up. We will be attending PAX East this week and showing off Sunset High. Come say hello and checkout our cartridges. #PAXEast #indiegame #onedayatatime

An ode to idle animations. O sweet idle animation, Cradling the player, Creating a sense of familiarity. Conjuring life in the scene, Connecting stasis with spirit. What would we do without you? Bobby would rather snooze through class than pay attention. www.tiktok.com/@sunset_high...

Bobby always has his head in the clouds... What is your favorite cloud? #headintheclouds #sunsethigh #indiegame youtube.com/shorts/YYGBb...

Today I was fortunate enough to give a guest lecture for the video game development class at UVA. The idea for Sunset High was berthed in this very class. It feels good to give back (: #gamedev #indiegame #mentorship #educationneverstops

Ever wish you could undo your mistakes? Well, in Sunset High, you can. Excuse the bad haircut -- indie game dev money doesn't get you a barber... www.youtube.com/watch?v=0C5V... #badhaircut #indiedev #rewind #pixelart #gamedev

What data structure is best for a quest system in a game? We went with a Directed Acyclic Graph, even creating a custom plugin for Godot in order to edit and visualize them. Listen to our lead engineer talk about it below: youtube.com/shorts/Jnv7I... #computerscience #gameprogramming #gamedev

To solve the disappearance of K_____, a riddle will need to be de-riddled. Are you capable of doing just that? "The closer you get the further I go. The more you obsess the stronger I grow. Only free from me once you let go... What am I?" www.youtube.com/watch?v=lWxE... #riddle#indiegame#gamedev

How do you try to make it as frictionless as possible to digest a game where the primary interface with the world is reading text? We tried to hook into some psychological behaviors that influenced our UI. #gamedev #gameui #psychology #ui #ux youtube.com/shorts/4Sx1U...
