Happy Pride! Bean Sidhe is live on Steam. If you need a reminder that joy is resistance and resistance lives in the very bones of our species, give it a look. #indiedev #gamedev #indiegame store.steampowered.com/app/3694740/...

Steam Partnership is a success. Stay tuned for when Bean Sidhe will be available!

In the meantime, if you have already played and could take a moment to review the game on Itch, that would be very helpful.

Thank you, and stay hopeful, friends. #gamedev #indiedev

I think we could all use the messages and stories told in “Bean Sidhe” right now. This is a beautiful and inspiring game! @sealbeegames.bsky.social did an incredible job. 🇮🇪✊❤️🪦🐾

Thank you so much for playing ♥️ And for sharing with Pistachio!!

Sealbee Games @sealbeegames.bsky.social · Mar 24

First batch of direct aid sent to Nebula and Ahmed. No charity oversight or fees, just people helping people. Thank you so much to everyone who's donated for the game so far - it's a small act of resistance, but it's truly making a difference.

You know what the coolest part about being a self-managed indie dev is?

You can take a week off to recuperate and nothing falls apart (but you do log back in to 500+ Discord messages).

Happy Monday!

Sealbee Games @sealbeegames.bsky.social · Mar 24

Thank you!! It's been a labor of love and I'm so excited to see people enjoying playing it as much as I enjoyed making it :)

Sealbee Games @sealbeegames.bsky.social · Mar 20

Sure!! God willing there won't be any enormous updates but you never know how fancy I might get with petting the cat 😎

Sealbee Games @sealbeegames.bsky.social · Mar 18

"But where was your launch day bug?" you may ask. Because we all know, there's ALWAYS a launch day bug.

Apparently it was in the donation button for the full walkthrough. It's fixed now, and I get to be annoyed about a bug that WASN'T my fault. Win/win!

Sealbee Games @sealbeegames.bsky.social · Mar 17

Look at all these beautiful souls that gave Bean Sidhe its voice ♥️

Watch our very own QA Maestro roll through the game he broke about two dozen times and... hopefully not break it this time.

Okay, we're in the home stretch: Bean Sidhe launches in 4 days. Ya girl has them all off work and everything is currently on track.

Anyone want to place bets on how many errors I get in the zero hour while compiling my final build?

It's nice to see folks persisting in experiencing joy ♥️♥️

After a full hour of troubleshooting a menu widget, I needed a change of pace. Then I remembered that sound effects exist.

"What's she working on now," you ask?

Hell if I know, but it walks, runs, creeps, and has a quest log. So probably either something about judicial reform or hostile architecture in tech.

You know - easy, chill stuff.
