strim time :3 gonna play some dirtbag mahjong~ twitch.tv/milotic #GoingLive #vtuber

Oh my god! That's so much easier! I've been doing handstands this entire time when I wanted to check

we tried to make dirtbag mahjong run on basically anything north of a potato, but it's probably best played on the steam deck it's MUCH easier to rotate the screen to look at your opponents' discards compared to rotating a desktop monitor

dirtbag MAHJONG is out now!! s.team/a/3488460/ come play a single-party riichi mahjong game with party elements, a story mode featuring bespoke challenges of various difficulties, and cute pixel art. comes with a tutorial if you're new to mahjong! #indiedev #pixelart

I hear there's girls being cute and rude and playing mahjong? Also this game is the first one since Super Lesbian Animal RPG where Twitch wouldn't let me put the title in my stream title twitch.tv/arborelia

Hey folks, I found a copy of Dirtbag Mahjong in my inbox, and I am so incredibly overwhelmed and have to decline, but I wanna give it a shoutout anyway 'cos it looks neat and there's a demo you can all go and try right now.

How are you enjoying @dirtbag-mahjong.bsky.social ? Its Mahjong world #JJArt

fun fact! dirtbag mahjong weighs around 100-200 MB depending on your operating system if we were to cache the shanten of every possible mahjong hand (~11 bytes per hand), the game would instead weigh around 16 trillion GB 😊

i just wanna say im completely floored by the degree of positive word of mouth on the game so far. obviously i was hoping we'd managed something people find fun, but the level of enthusiasm is blowing past all my most optimistic expectations ;w; thank you all so much

for anyone who was interested in getting a DRM-free copy of dirtbag MAHJONG on itch, today's the best day to do it! <3

I wanted to repost this commission I did for @dirtbag-mahjong.bsky.social and @rhea-anthea.bsky.social , so that I can have it in my media tab, but also to share news that the game is out now! s.team/a/3488460/ Im excited to play it myself!

Had a blast writing some music for this one! It was a totally new style for me in a lot of ways but was super fun to work on! If you are interested, you can check out the soundtrack here! jeffpenny.bandcamp.com/album/dirtba...

thank you all soooo much for all the shares and kind messages on launch day!! it's been surreal seeing this many people enjoy something we've made, especially the number of people weren't mahjong fans to begin with and gave us a chance anyway. it all means a lot! <3

📝: when writing dialogue for Rowan our style guide consisted, in its entirety, of a copy of Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver for the Sony PlayStation

writing trivia, hana edition: due to her winning personality and disregard for ethics or personal safety, Hana had BY FAR the most lines I had to cut because I read them back and thought "hang on, that's not funny. that's just really scary"

on that note, i'll make a post about it again once we're a little closer to launch day, but if any streamers would like some of the dev team to hang out on stream for a bit while playing the game (or the opposite, would rather not have devs show up), feel free to let us know!
