My list of "I'll fix that later" bugs is reducing rapidly. This might actually happen!

In my non game developer life my husband, our dog and I sell art at vendor markets in Salem, MA. It's like a theme park here at halloween. Love it.

We have a market this weekend, and we want to try and bring our game demo to it on a laptop.... as of 5 minutes ago.

🤩 oh wow thank you! I'm so happy it's being appreciated. Definitely the inspiration I needed to work on the demo today.

Tom The Borg @tomtheborg.bsky.social · 9d

I'm trying to get some more traffic on our game's actual Bluesky page

So if you have been following along with Gutterspace development logs, please follow @gutterspace.bsky.social! I'll be posting there on how to get a demo of the game soon.

Gutterspace is our hand-drawn, local co-op game where you and a friend share control of Tittle & Dot, a two-headed skeleton.

Stay in sync and you’ll move gracefully. Fall out of sync and stumble hilariously. Demo coming soon!

Anyone put out a demo for their game recently? What the experience been like and what did you learn from it? Any tips? things to avoid?

We are going to start a limited demo of Gutterspace and I was curious.

A proposed menu screen of a demo for Gutterspace. The scene is a lake and tree lined coast with pink floral trees. A character in a blue knit sweater and a lemon for a head waits nearby.

@jamessmock.bsky.social and I are pouring our heart and soul into @gutterspace.bsky.social. We keep looking through old journals, poems, sketches from when we were kids and putting the unresolved emotions into the game.

The 2 player "In Sync" meter just got an upgrade! when both players are moving the skeleton in sync the meter grows and glows.
