This might be my favorite review yet 🧻

Discounty won Best Debut at Spilprisen last week! 💖 Thank you to everyone who took a chance supporting a new studio's first game: our friends, funders, testers, content creators, and every single person who played. Making a game is really hard, but you all made it worth it. 🫶

🚨 Update for console players: we've submitted the Quality of Life patch to all platforms and it's now under review! It may take a few weeks to get approval and go live, but this means we're in the final stage, and we'll let you know as soon as the patch is ready to download! 💖

Fun fact: to make the dialogue font size scalable, we had a problem: sometimes the speech bubbles would get so big that they'd appear off screen 🙈 So to make this work we adjusted the camera position for most dialogues -- here's how the same scene looks with different settings:

Only 2 days left until launch discount expires! 🦊 If you're considering getting, now it's the perfect time, as well as almost last moment to help boost the game before week ends 🧡

You can now tear down your posters if you place down the wrong one or change your mind! After all: a thriving business requires a nimble marketing strategy 📈 ✨

🦊☕ Tailside: Cozy Cafe Sim is OUT NOW ! ☕ Brew, decorate and follow the daily newspaper 🎮 No timers, no pressure, no stress 🧡 Perfect for short game sessions! Only $9.99 on Steam during this launch week! ($10.99 full price)

Tailside is finally out and you can grab it in a bundle with Discounty! 🥳 Pick it up and enjoy a weekend of cozy shopkeeping 😌

We are incredibly honored that Discounty is nominated for *four* awards at Spilprisen, including Game of the Year! 😱 Thank you so much! 💖 #dkgame #spilprisen

You're hired!

POV you come back to work after a long holiday

I finished Discounty a few weeks ago & can confirm that its quite good.

Is your New Year's resolution to play more satirical pixel art supermarket management games? (And if it isn't, please ask yourself why and do better.) Well, good news: you can still grab Discounty on Steam for 30% off for just a few more days!

Some players told us they were bothered by the motion in the title screen, so we've added a motion sickness mode that parks that pesky bus still on the highway! ✨ (Are we there yet?)

Merry Christmas to all of Discounty employees working hard today! (And a gentle but firm reminder that it is against company policy to provide holiday or overtime pay. 🫶)

You can now skip quickly through character dialogues with instant-appearing text! Sorry Ms. Andersen, no time to hear about your cat again. 🦝

Today's our last day before holiday break! (But we'll still have some pre-scheduled posts ✨) Sincerest thanks for making this year so special. We hope you're as excited as we are for what's coming next. Happy holidays & new year from the Crinkle Cut team! 💖
