I like the tiny group vibes

We're obviously keeping our discord, this is more a backup in case if (when) discord explode and enshitifies

if you u wanna join we'll probably be only 5 people on this, join the fun

Joke aside they were super nice, and we're honored to be able to bundle with them 🥺🙏 (it's very validating as a nonogram dev)

Logiart Grimoire is excellent, and very challenging!

We'll release an patch soon with puzzle #351 fixed, and tweaks to night mode (making it closer to the previous color scheme etc)

We'll add more customization options to Night mode later with as we realize it's hard to make a night mode that fits everyone!

Thanks for your patience 🙏

fun fact: we contacted Jupiter ( who's been making Picross games for 30 years) to make a bundle with them, and send them a pic of our retro-games shelves to show that we're true fans (and it worked)

If I buy the DQVii Switch 1 version on Switch 2, will I be able to continue from where I finished the Switch 2 demo?

Prepping our #SteamNextFest coverage over on noclip_2 and the @noclipvideo.bsky.social Crewcast for later this month.

If you're an indie dev planning to have your demo as part of the event, feel free to reply here, in my dms, or send me an e-mail (in bio)!

about this new bsky trend: posting a photo of yourself as a young kid with the tagline "this is who runs this account"

my mind cannot understand why people willingly post pictures of them as kids online... this is internet, everything you post is, and will stay public forever 🫠
