To me, it's development company size. So 20 people or less I consider indie. Above that we get into AA, and I think I would consider AAA to be 300+ employees.

Sushi Ben came out yesterday! It has both VR and normal modes available and looks super fun and silly. May be a good option if you need a quick breather from the moodiness of SilkSong

Anyone else rushing to beat the bosses that are getting nerfed in SilkSong before they do? Just me?

The first one getting nerfed has been my favorite boss so far, actually lol.

Okay SO. I mentioned I was working on two projects at the beginning of this year. This is the other project I'm working on.

If you wanna follow my little endeavor, please give my studio account a follow! I'll be keeping this account focused on other people's games and releases (:

I'm digitally hand-drawing every scene of my game. Here's a sneak peak of one of them 👀

#indiedev #hobbydev #dog

A drawing of two parody movie posters. The first poster is a parody of JAWS. It has a picture of an orange cat with its mouth wide open and says "PAWS". The second poster is a parody of Citizen Kane. It has a picture of 3 Great Danes, titled "Citizen Dane", says "It's Terrific!" In the top left corner, shows DOG as the main actor, and for the rest of the credits says "bark" and "woof"

Okay but, real talk here, a good chunk of the charm of Hotel Dusk for me was how you used the DS like a little book. I loved that aspect of it.

I'm not sure how they could maintain that charm with a remake 😕

That said, wishlists would be great, thanks! 💚
