~4 years in the making, we've just put a demo out!

mostly made by 2 people, we've put a lot of love into this and I think made something unique

so excited for people to try it!

This is a game about improvising in chaos.
This is a beautiful mess.

Demo is out on Steam!

@nicbarkeragain Agreed. But even OpenGL will waste a fair bit of time relative to something like sokol, or even d3d11. It's a pretty unfriendly API to learn and use correctly.

🎺Death of the Reprobate is OUT NOW!!!🎺

It's a Rabelaisian ramble through Rembrandts, or - for the less pretentious among you - Monkey Island meets Monty Python! :P

Please help me spread the word about my silly game. Link below.

😇

@JoeMcRichardson oh sweet! you're a brilliant indie treasure, Joe

[Stan IW @CatastroStan]

We've (finally) been formally recognised as a brilliant indie treasure. That means we'll be playable alongside many other treasures in Brighton (during Develop)🦥

@karl_zylinski Probably depends on goals. With our game we committed to a design space we wanted to explore. Our path to things 'working' was long but interesting and rewarding. I think the key with this approach is to always be asking why it's not working yet (the key game design muscle?)

@clemmygames turn-based improvisation, chaotic bubbles

@TheWakingKnot @SamueloSkoog very important to label your takes - this is how they teach you to make trailers in game developer school
