Bought and played a little in early access. Loved the vibes and the game play. Stopped playing because I knew I'd play more when it hit 1.0 and wanted to let it cook away from my prying Early Access eyes. It has the sauce. Please play!!!

It's breaking my brain that we now have an anthology. THREE published games. Crazy. And more to come... store.steampowered.com/bundle/73746...

Duskers is at its deepest discount to date, to celebrate the launch of Below the Crown. store.steampowered.com/app/254320/D...

If you have Below the Crown and can spare the time, please review🙏

Me watching the enemy King walk all the way across the room toward my Wizard Bishop thinking "what's that silly AI up to now?"

This game works so well as a chess game but also as a standalone, unique tactics roguelike thing. Very crunchy and satisfying! Also shares a designer with @beastieball.bsky.social, Damian, and I can vouch that guy knows a thing or two on how to make a fun game

Some bug reports are better than others

Agreed, especially on the weird story part 🤣

Such a joy to see Below the Crown launch 1.0 today. Genuinely awesome dungeon crawler meets chess that is utterly addictive. As always, was a pleasure writing the story with Misfits Attic, and I can’t wait to see what players think of the weird story we concocted!

Below the Crown Launches 1.0 today! Our love letter to Chess, Dungeon Crawlers, and general nerdery :) 15 years ago it was called "Chess the Gathering" and I would take to boardgame meetups... I'm thrilled with what it's become with the help of an amazing team & community <3 youtu.be/B9UXpiGngfo

Behind the Crown...

The title says it all 😆 youtu.be/O6jOvjQGGXc

In the past, community features tended to come last in development. But for Below the Crown, I'm glad we added them in early so that I can interact with the community. Even if that means realizing I'm not the best player even before launch 🙃

Mark your calendars for April 21st: Below the Crown day. You'll be able to play as a Queen Wizard, fight the Emperor, there are even multiple endings 😱 youtu.be/eBYqkB9Ljvk

Had a blast at the IGF awards with @benni.bsky.social, honored to be acknowledged for the excellence of our design :) #BelowTheCrown

I couldn't pass up an opportunity for Below the Crown to be with these other awesome Chess titles. Everyone needs moar #chess #BelowTheCrown www.humblebundle.com/games/checkm...

I rushed this out and forgot to turn off my accent😅 Our last update before launch! Below the Crown is cruising toward 1.0 next month. youtu.be/iq3JNh5Ijf8

Roguelikes + Dungeon Crawlers + CHESS = Below the Crown. @misfitsattic.bsky.social This is chess like you've never seen it before with game-changing spells and psychological tests inside a glitchy 80s aesthetic 👑

We done made Below the Crown it's own account! Now it can argue with other game accounts online!

Below the Crown - the early version of our Beta Update (our final update before launch!) is in the Future branch if folks want to help us test it out!

My 14-year-old daughter said I didn't need a haircut before GDC. This week - please direct any hair-related feedback her way.

The demeanor required to run an indie studio everyday.

I'll be at GDC next week, showing off our soon-to-launch IGF honorable mention, and hoping to fund one of our two potential game # 4's. Please reach out if you'd like to meet!

Check out the cool fan art of Duskers Drones from @xlaxxon.bsky.social ! Time to make it live action people...

Below the Crown is coming in April! Our final Update in Early Access is in just a couple weeks. What a wild ride so far, and IGF honorable mention to boot. We added a discount to celebrate and made this trailer remix🥳 youtu.be/fdJ0zwm3q00

My favorite bug report for Below the Crown so far... "No action needed, just wanted to say that I LOVE this game. This game rules. It's definitely the best chess roguelike yet..." Little moments like these add up <3

I'm starting to hear more stories from folks like @rcmacleod.bsky.social that Below the Crown is sortof hitting this chess-adjacent space for those that Chess doesn't quite land for. Really exciting as this was one of our hopes :) Chess Dungeon Crawler, Yeah - aftermath.site/chess-dungeo...

Well, the graph is going in the right direction :) #BelowTheCrown

Duskers 💾 By @misfitsattic.bsky.social I looooove this game. You control a small team of lil drones through safe and unsafe chambers of derelict ships. Every choice counts.
