ahhh, one week of co-owning a smoothie bar with
@garrett.bsky.social! a.k.a the official
@brainfruit.bsky.social discord, where you can follow our work and play some stuff in progress. (especially relevant if you like trick-taking card games) the vibes are great, get in here! discord.gg/YPNKtnTQ4g

an absolute joy to show tide breakers at likelike in pittsburgh last weekend. lively crowd of mostly non-games people who embraced the chance to work with/against each other. @molleindustria.org transformed his gallery space into a beautifully lit municipal crisis pressure cooker, just look at this!

a group of players, dramatically lit in their character colors, reacting to a situation in the 6p city council sim, tide breakers

a group of players perched before their microphones and voting controls, all dramatically lit in their character colors, regarding a tense situation while some chill spectators look on. the buabu flag is visible in the background

a tide breakers player facepalming as their group's run fails and the sea takes buabu

there were several times while making the brainfruit promo video where my ignorance of capcut created some real "magic moments". we left a lot of beauty on the cutting room floor!

screengrab of capcut, rob dubbin is highlighted in pink (a feature I had just discovered), gesturing at nothing

now I'm in the frame. rob is highlighted in a pink stroke outline, looking stoically forward. I'm sitting on his shoulders, somehow tinier. I was trying to figure out how to smush videos together

rob, wearing a hot, looking to his left at a different rob, who is being interviewed for a DIFFERENT promo video. this is how I looked upon first import, really wonderful stuff by computers here.

First off (in no particular order) we have Tide Breakers!

Self-described as a city council simulation in a sci-fi setting, it's a beautiful mix between a branching narrative and a tabletop social game. Me and my group were the first to stop the rising tide! @brainfruit.bsky.social #indiedev #amaze
