For Omochapon I needed to do a little explaining to help the player out but didn’t want it to be text heavy.

Mostly because of regionalising the text but also for fun as a visual! I love these little instruction sheets! 😍😍

I’m not exhibiting this year (2026 I’ll bring Tiltshift) but I will be wandering the halls at #PAXAUS & #GCAP. Can’t wait to see all the games and talks!

Great to see EA and I are using the same metrics for our future player base!

ShawnTheMiller @shawnthemiller.bsky.social · Jul 5

Oh nice! I’m expecting my game @playtiltshift.bsky.social to have 200 million players based on the same sentiment! #IndieDev

I'm an #IndieDev with a very low budget and need to put in some placeholder text for lore and dialogue. Look how easy that is!!

If only there was a place for those other devs to quickly get it! www.lipsum.com
