@PrincessKissDev I picked up a pretty old-but-in-good-shape ipad 4 with an apple pen and procreate and I've been going hard on it for a couple years now. Use it bed, on patio, in bathroom, in truck, etc. And it seems light to me but I don't have any wrist problems. :(

Fewer things make me more hype about this thing than your music pouring out of it. I'm excited about even more human ears finding their way to you.

Developers! This heuristics student reached out to me looking for practical experience in the summer of 2021. He ended up conducting a Bounty Star playtest/focus group and absolutely killed it. If you need or know someone who needs this hit him up!

@PrincessKissDev UGH this is great and I love tech like this. So satisfying to both look at and imagine having that tech to play with.

[Ben Ruiz; Dustlord @BenRuiz]

@PrincessKissDev Or any tab!

[Ben Ruiz; Dustlord @BenRuiz]

@BrotherDege @TheOngaku Bounty Star's publisher @A_i, will share more details when they're ready. But I'm not able to say when that might be cuz I'm just the game developer. Haha!

I -can- say that Dege has been awesome and Bounty Star wouldn't feel the same without his music.

[Ben Ruiz; Dustlord @BenRuiz]

@DanFoxAnimates HAHA SHIT emailin'

[Ben Ruiz; Dustlord @BenRuiz]

Feels unlikely but you miss 100% of the Mephisto’s Pacts you don’t shoot. https://t.co/IiarDOP9jM

[Ben Ruiz; Dustlord @BenRuiz]

Dege is the fuckin greatest and you can go listen to his incredible music RIGHT NOW https://t.co/8xvBQEb9Ig

@GfanRp @Zerdex No, it's a single player experience through and through. Sorry!

[Ben Ruiz; Dustlord @BenRuiz]

Bounty Star's environment art was established and constructed by @Zerdex who is himself hyper talented but moved on from the project to do their own cool things. Big big shout/outs

[Ben Ruiz; Dustlord @BenRuiz]

I made the prototype of Bounty Star in 6 months with a hyper talented and cool engineer that isn't on twitter or else I would have tagged her. :(

[Ben Ruiz; Dustlord @BenRuiz]

Been making this cool thing with @biphenyl @Zathalos and @DanFoxAnimates. Brought to you by @A_i

BOUNTY STAR by DINOGOD is coming to Xbox, PlayStation, and Steam in 2023.

Play as Clem, an ex-soldier without purpose or peace, as she gets back into a mech, fights bands of mercenaries, and learns to care about the post-post Apocalyptic desert home she intended to rot in.
