Being a small team juggling multiple jobs slows things down, but we’re doing our best (and even looking for a new dev to help us move faster). Thanks for sticking with us, your patience means the world. 💛

A player found this bug (in Movierooms Sandbox): his cinema was full of visitors even though there was nothing to do inside! No posters, no sofas,not even an arcade room. We’re still investigating, maybe a movie bug were scheduled or maybe something stranger happened. 🧐

So many customers around the cinema but they are wandering.

🎬Are you really #meeting your audience’s needs?
The #plants 🪴are thirsty under the #summer heat, and there's a pretty awful smell coming from the bin. Maybe it’s time to rethink your #cinema layout, what do you think? 😉

Creating historically accurate outfits for each era takes a lot of time and research! Here’s a #Throwback to our pre-alpha, with "modern" clothes. What really stands out, is how satisfying it is to see such a wide variety of character models. Don’t you agree? #indiegame #gamedev #memories #testing

Chasing weird bugs, breaking things accidentally, fixing them on purpose, polishing details no one will ever notice (but we know they’re there)... #IndieDevs life: chaos, coffee and questionable commit messages. #sundayvibes

I shared this on LinkedIn (urly.it/319hz1) making games as a small, self-funded indie team is a small epic venture.
To my surprise, many reached out privately. Do you also keep creating, even when it feels long because of the lack of the budget and then working on something else?❤️‍🔥
