Any guess on what kind of game we're making?

I made this game largely on my own. Even though I haven't released anything else with my studio, I'm still gonna keep at it until I can be self sustainable #indiedev #indiegames #gamedev

It's been 5 years since we released Sokodice!

There might be some delays on our jira tickets this month... Who else is playing?

I'm going for more strict logic games. So puzzles with standalone mechanics and rules (like 7th guest) and vibes of Layton

Kind of. It's a 7th Guest/Professor Layton-like, but with some light exploration similar to a point-and-click

The real test would be animating some hair metal swings

With the rise of AI, critical thinking skills are dropping. So, while puzzle games don't do well on the market, I'll gladly take the hit to make more games that will improve logic and reason skills

This may be a little niche...

We see a lot of logic puzzles featuring western chess... But what about Chinese chess? ♟️
