Yeah right?! I don’t mind investing tens of hours in some games from time to time but the biggest surprises I had were generally from very small games such as Crow Country, A Short Hike, What remains of Edith finch or indie games like that.
Focused on one objective. One experience.

We haven't talked much about Cursor Quest yet! So let me introduce you to ClemiDOS, the OS in which the game takes place! We spent the week redoing it's entire look and feel; we'll certainly change some things to distance ourselves from windows, but we're quite happy!

Looks like Jolan is getting on the challenge too this year!

My very first #inktober! I've always been attracted by art but never jumped on it. This year though I decided to change that!
@fallingleavesfr.bsky.social is the occasion to try new stuff and learn new skills!
I decided to try and do both official Inktober AND #chatonktober, 'cause I love cats huhu.

@monetai.bsky.social is taking up a challenge with this years #inktober! Even so she doesn't have an artistic background, our new adventure is the occasion to try and learn new skills! :D

Lucie Dewagnier (Monetai) @monetai.bsky.social · 7d

Let’s do the #inktober!
Still learning to draw so don’t expect beautifull things ;p
It’s one of my objective with @fallingleavesfr.bsky.social. Using our project to train skills I don’t have, drawing is on top of that pile !

Short games also means small price. We know not everyone can afford a 60 bucks game, or even 30, but still, culture shouldn't be a question of financial meaning, but just the will of discovering and experiencing new stuff.

What do you think about that?
Share your thoughts with us, at all time!

Today's games tend too often to just immerse in dark worlds, dark times... That's kinda boring and really depressing to us. We want you to feel stuff but end up with a smile on your face and eager to share your experience with us and the rest of the community!

We aim for 6 to 8 months development time, which is kinda short for video games but still allows for some polish and to ensure taking care of all core pillars. Hence the "short games".

With FLS we want to propose "short games that you would enjoy by rainy afternoon, snugged under your blanket with a hot cocoa".
Lots of chill and good vibes ;)
When we say "chill" we think of a mood. Not just honeyed, we want to talk about serious topics too, but not in a depressing way.

What about we talk about what we want to do at Falling Leaves Studio? :D

(Oh, btw, FLS will be the contraction for the studio's name, in case we run out of charact #indiegame #indie #videogames #gamedev #godot

Jolan was the Senior Producer on The Rogue.
More of a cat person. Lately, he fell in love with games like Citizen Sleeper and Crypt Custodian. In terms of music, he prefers Metal Core, American Rap or Dubstep kind of thing, but also enjoy calmer stuff from time to time.

Lucie is a Senior Developer and was Lead Tech and Game Director on The Rogue. She loves rabbits, indie video games such as Crow Country or Luck be a Landlord, and french music, think of Pomme or old stuff like Cabrel. (plzzzzz marry me <3)

Time to talk about who's behind Falling Leaves! The studio was founded by Lucie and Jolan who met and worked together on The Rogue Prince of Persia during their time at Evil Empire Studio, a french indie dev. Go follow them, they have bangers incoming! #indiegame #videogames #gamedev #godot

Hey!
We did quite well with our little #GMTK25 game, fallingleavesstudio.itch.io/dj-wizard .
This was a very chill jam where we experimented a bit with mechanics and art style. A fun and relaxing week end!

Long time no talk. We're a bit busy right now but the development of Cursor Quest (DevName) is still on track!

Wanna learn how to make a Tarte Tatin? ;)

Clementchine @clemidev.itch.io · Apr 10

Since CursorQuest takes place in a fake old computer, I had to make an old-fashioned boot screen.
The text is in French, sorry english folks just know that there are the ingredients and the recipe to make a tarte tatin!
(what if i make a tuto for the bootscreen ? Let me know !)
