We've been working very hard to get our test builds done for the day (late nights all around).

A huge thank you to @cosmiccoda.bsky.social for helping us play-test our game and for the insightful feedback on our game!

Can't wait to test yours next 😉💖

Thanks so much @cariwatterton.bsky.social today for your presentation on game accessibility, as well as tips for developing for #DAREAcademy !

It was great having a 1:1 talk on improving accessibility within Gobblin', we really appreciated the opportunity to learn from your experience!

You asked, and we listened. By popular demand, controller support is coming to #ECZT. Master the dash, cloak, hack, wall jump and general movement on your chosen gamepad in our next release.

It's time you finally got rewarded for all your hard work! One of the new features being worked on at #DAREAcademy is unique ending sequences based on how well you perform. 📦

Can you guess which ending this is from...? 👽✨️

#WIPWednesday at #DARE2025. Our programmers are working very hard implementing the power up attacks for our game gobblin' to some... varying levels of success 😂

What's the funniest bug you've encountered while developing?
