Another cool encounter from #qgcon was meeting Zoey and learning about her podcast @trueavatars.bsky.social ! She interviewed me about Love in the Time of Spellphage for the conference episode which is out now!

Our first public studio event! Met a lot of cool folk, played some cool games, and crashed hard after from all the socializing. Rare for us to leave our witch hut.

NEXT WEEKEND! We'll be at @qgcon.bsky.social demo-ing Love in the Time of Spellphage, our alternative magical Montreal pandemic story 🔮 Come by and chat, we'll have stickers 🌟

New blog post! This one's more on some behind the scenes studio stuff. Thinking about the values you want your studio to live and operate on. How that shapes the actions you take. And very specifically to this post: the tools you use.

Spent some time this weekend learning to how dissolve our cards in #godot. Still want to iterate on it to give it a little more magic. #indiedev

Okay, maybe getting a little closer to a final design for the Fate Cards🤔

The digital construction of Fateweaver has begun! Landscape tile generation works, generating a new randomized layout for each run. Placeholder art still but we're hype to have something working in #godot! #indiedev

Hiii this neat games conference that I’m speaking at later this year is facing a funding shortfall and is almost halfway to its goal! If you have a few spare dollars to help make it happen, it would be much appreciated!

One of the biggest inspirations for our next game is Brian Moriarty's adventure game Loom which came out in 1990. Loom shipped with a cassette audio drama, a book of hints that required 3D glasses for reading and beautiful woodcuts art by Lela Dowling.

There's gotta be a better way to capture video from Godot 😂 But this is what I was able to figure out in 10 minutes.

We've started to explore art style options for our next game. A lot of experimentation still, and a lot of cards to make. #indiedev #conceptart

Interested in some #indiedev marketing stories? Kylie wrote about our early efforts to promote our first 2 games and the differences between Itch.io and Steam we've noticed so far.

So close to breaking 100 campaign followers! We'd love your help in getting there today so that we can share what we think is a pretty great post with deep Soft Chaos lore 👀💖💖💖 Follow our pre-launch page at the link in the quoted post!

Some future mascots for a future newsletter? Or just an excuse for Kylie to draw some birds?

Such a great chat today! I loved the community's questions. It's clear that folks need alternatives to the cycle of hiring and lay-offs and burnout that are so common right now. We hope Soft Chaos can help model alternative ways of working and help share what we learn along the way.

Some early Fate Card ideation. Feels like we could use more detailing and just general flourishes. But maybe approaching demo worthy design 🤔 #gameart #conceptart #indiedev
