Erik + Elin, game making couple
Star Jolt and Star Duster are lovingly crafted tributes to retro gaming
Stop by for news and say hi!

@hesselbom Felt like they are questioning our skills, "is this your trade? Are you a professional?" 🥲

[Beardybird @beardybird]

Our retro homage Star Duster being listed at the top of IGNs list of best Apple Watch Games by @RudieObias makes us pinch ourselves every so often to see if we're dreaming! Thank you for including us 🚀

@igdmag Awesome! Good luck on the launch!

[Beardybird @beardybird]

@WesleyTE Thank you!
Should perhaps do a little devlog on how it works some time.

[Beardybird @beardybird]

@WesleyTE Yep, built a few simplish tools to help with screenshotting the correct formats in all locales. Otherwise that would be way too tedious for us.

[Beardybird @beardybird]

@WesleyTE It’s more of a problem over time rather than often, when it happens it’s painful for all languages and formats, especially if video is involved as well. So thinking we should include a tool for it in our process.

Helps out with managing screenshots and meta data in one place rather than through App Store Connect/Google Play Console

📣 Feedback wanted 📣

We’re remaking the trailer for Star Jolt, so much has been added since the last one, tell us your honest opinions!

When you capture an enemy agent we have a little reveal “ceremony” here it is how it looks when you capture a dangerous enemy infiltrator.

So.much.polish.left, so little time.
But hey, it’s getting there(?)

The scope creeps are hiding under the bed, snapping at our ankles, trying to drag us into the abyss of a growing backlog.

Why do we conjure these demons, knowing the plague they carry?

[Beardybird @beardybird]

We have to make a game featuring these sweethearts we found on a walk here in Gothenburg!

[Beardybird @beardybird]

Characters are coming along nicely for Spy Masters, here’s one of the opposing sides (in all of our games), aliens!

The others being robots of course.
But that goes without saying 🤖

Made by Elin as always.

@GDBAYcom Nice! Like what you do, let’s. How small indie is meaningful to be? (We’re a two person, side project kind of team :) )

It’s #screenshotsaturday!
As promised, here’s the femaleish version of the robot character for Spy Masters.

Feels so good to be getting ever closer to a beta. ”Just” need to do the work 🥲

@llstdcom Awesome!

[Beardybird @beardybird]

@mrhesselbom Getting there! Aiming for beta ready version next week, you’re in ofc ❤️

[Beardybird @beardybird]

Went for a run today, saw a raven sitting on a bunker in a snowy heath, overlooking the chilled archipelago of Gothenburg, engulfed in a burning sunset. No wind, no other people, just the croak of a raven.

Reality is pretty lit.

[Beardybird @beardybird]

@mrhesselbom Just tested it out here! In context it became a bit too dark though. Perhaps a bit more on the nose though

[Beardybird @beardybird]

Does this little alien from Spy Masters look like they had bomb explode in front of them?
