"Using hand and feet" to comunicate with our new composer.

Blue circle is current revision, red circle is their style, yellow circle is the current soundtrack.

This was a huge challenge for me but I have faith that the next revision will be perfect.

Just make it exist first - you can make it good later!

When developing our game TRAILS, a lot of time was spent on improvements and polish, but the crucial first step was a prototype that was created in less than a week!

A bit of contemplative beatboxing helps Joe think!

Other improvements

* added option to remove controller button icons
* touch devices can be used properly on the overworld
* no errors anymore when pressing CTRL while drawing a path
* timeline animation
* significantly improved performance on low-end hardware
* locking paths indicated more clearly

Choose your own colors! 💜🦥

With update 1.3 of TRAILS you are able to customize the ships' colors to make them stand out best for your individual needs.

Even though we are only a small studio, as neurodivergent devs we care about making our games as accessible as possible.

Accidentally setting up a collision course in Trails by @purpleSloth!

Hey folks,

there are two small new Purple Sloth game jam entries.

Cryptid Gardens is a rule deduction puzzle in which you need to figure out the needs of cute cryptids in order to place them on a board in such a way that all are satisfied. Its our entry to the thinky puzzle jam #5.

Musi nana is a small puzzle game entirely in toki pona and entry to the pali musi game jam.

Both cost nothing, have a webGL build and are free of AI slop.

#Steam #NextFest was quite the wild ride!

We hat tons of great community feedback and also a networking event smack down in the middle of it.

@betalars held a deep-dive workshop on 10 Insights into Godot and we hope to record that for a wider audience soon.

This evening, we will also once again do a live stream. This time not with hotfixes, but - as promised - with actual #VFX magic. ✨

#gamedev #godot

Day two of #Steam #NextFest

Join us in creating sparkling shaders and ask us anything!

We will be showing off how we create shaders and textures in blender and also some of the dark magic that is shaders in Godot. prepare for minds to be blown and trains to be dipped into a river of time.
