A look at this week's historic Kharnym Isle map! The map has been known to change, though, and districts have been known to float away and disappear. What happens to those citizens, I wonder? #indiedev #indiegame #gamedev #gaming #upcominggame #indie #gamedesign #gamedevelopment #mysterygame

If you're an indie studio, perhaps this is a familiar picture. Voice recording in your basement, in a cave made of your handmade sound panels and extra blankets. Reaching out from the void, Liv beseeches you. One...More...Line... #indiedev #indiegame #gamedev #gaming #upcominggame #gamedevelopment

GenAI has polluted image search results, especially for animal pics. It’s now basically impossible to find accurate art references. Enter this: a repository of open-access, AI-free images of wild & exotic taxa. Artists creating *without AI* have blanket permission for derivative/transformative use.

Here at Letter Lost, we've been renovating the Kharnym Isle Post for the past year, and we'd love to share our progress with you! Take a look at all the new features to make your work as a postal worker even more rewarding! #indiedev #indiegame #gamedev #indiegames #gaming
