We got to test our game on Steam Deck this weekend, and it works! There were a few minor issues, but now I know what to fix.

The last 4 games I played. One from the 80s, two from the 90s, and one from the 00s. Rayforce is definitely my favorite from this group!

I've been checking out Gun Frontier, a pretty cool shmup for 1990. The Saturn port has an Easy difficulty, which made it a fun way to grab a casual 1CC youtu.be/ihGxqEa-3rs

We announced our game last week, and I just wanted to say thanks for all the love! 💙 Also, I promise this account won't be 100% self promotion. I'll share what we're working on, but also other geeky things I'm into. Our 2nd account, @chaindamagegames.bsky.social will just be for promoting the game

I've been trying to learn Mushihimesama Futari 1.5 Maniac, but I wasn't prepared for how hard this mode is! I cleared Black Label Maniac a couple of years ago, and I thought 1.5 Maniac would be a little harder. But it's a dramatic difference! I'm having fun, but holy moly

Over this past week, we've been refining the scoring system and working on graphics for the second boss. There's a lot to do, but we're having fun 😊
