Hilltop Studios @playhilltop.bsky.social · 6d

Hilltop Studios @playhilltop.bsky.social · 6d

I both love and hate that idea so friggin' much.

Hilltop Studios @playhilltop.bsky.social · 6d

It's killing me and the team to not be able to talk about what we're working on (yet), but I can say that October has impeccable vibes for what we're cooking up! 👻

Super exited to start Lil Guardsman!

Make one good decision: get Lil’ Guardsman at 60% off as part of the #SteamAutumnSale

...Then enjoy making hundreds of terrible ones in-game! Insult royalty. Jail a tree. Befriend a goblin (maybe).

This game was so fun, so good. Loved the voice acting. Loved the sass. In fact I streamed/played it on twitch when I was in a mentally low headspace. It really helped me stream when i felt struck. Good story. Good hijinks. I highly recommend!
