www.youtube.com/watch?v=2JAe... Nice little breakdown of the unique slide-hoppin' physics-based combat 17bit is cooking up in Kyoto!

Was so stoked that @bb.wavelengths.online came to visit us at the studio. I have been a big fan of the pod for the longest time, and it was awesome to just talk shop and get to know him off the mic. Hope we run into each other again soon! Also Aquarius Sparking - get on it. Was a treat!

Great piece interviewing @jkooza.bsky.social over on @pcgamer.com! "There's a lot of blocking, a lot of parrying and deflecting, so when you do get a hit in, you've earned it and it feels great. This is the stuff that really excites me in combat: there's a very high skill ceiling." #indiegames

It's been a while. For those of you who already know us, here's a recap of what the studio has been up to over the past 4 years. We are 17-BIT. An award-winning #indiegame studio working out of #Kyoto, #Japan. Here's a primer for what drives our passion for #gamedev.

Researchers in Japan have developed a plastic that dissolves in seawater within hours, offering up a potential solution for a modern-day scourge polluting oceans and harming wildlife.

👀... Also, grab some classic and not so classic games from the cool folks I'm workin' with!

Man comes to the US from Lebanon. Starts out delivering pizzas, becomes a Nobel winning neuroscientist. Trump freezes his funding, he gets an email from China offering to move his lab “any city, any university I want" with guaranteed funding for 20 years. What are we doing?

The folks over at @witchbeam.com.au are seriously just amazing folks. They make killer games, and Tempopo keeps that tradition going. Give it a shot, especially if you have kids in the house. Oh, and it's on Gamepass if you are a subscriber too.

Hooray! Oddsparks is now also out on PC! 🥳 The culmination of roughly 3 years of work! I'm really so proud of the team. We've made such a big and complex, yet approachable and adorable game store.steampowered.com/app/1817800/... store.epicgames.com/p/oddsparks-... www.gog.com/game/oddspar...
