As we get closer to the holidays, Leon has set up his Christmas tree!
I hope he's on the nice list, because in Port Gelour, the alternative isn't coal....

Merry Devmas day 9!

Pro Game Dev Tip: Don't have assets ready for that level? Never mind! Cropped photos and MS Paint are your best friends. Just don't expect anyone other than your team to understand what is going on.

Can you tell what's happening in these high-quality scenes?

#Devmas with #Adaptory - Day 3

Space fans will agree, when it comes to the best view, it’s hard to beat a front row seat to auroras lighting up a starry night sky.

Today's #DEVMAS post is about cut features! This one is about "Converters", so have a listen to the design rambles about what they are and why they were cut ⭐🟧🟡

In our game Teeto, you can absorb things, changing your form to get special powers.

No better power than the power of invisibility from JOHN CENA

What if? Here's a feature that never made the cut for #Apothecurse.
Our old crafting system! It's pretty basic, but we've revamped this whole system, more on this in a future post!

Happy Devmas day 4 btw 🦑

Welcome to Day Three of the 12 Days of Devmas! 🎄

Our prompt today was to show our favourite view in our game, but one does not simply choose ONE view in Beyond These Stars...so here's four! 👀
