I also love love love how they use brackets to convey what characters think instead of saying.
Sometimes i just want to know what my characters think but don't say, and Jakuza 0 gave me that!

Volha Kapitonava @volha-kapitonava.bsky.social · Aug 26

Finished #Jakuza0 last night after having played it for weeks!
54 h playtime, and only 33% of side-quests completed...

I also cried at the end!! Highly recommend to everyone! Such a well-crafted game, you can see how much love went into it and how witty the writers are. Ah, I NEED MORE!!

Hey #indiedev community, let's meet up at Gamescom to uplift each other 💚

My team at @cozy-impact.bsky.social and I work on a cozy game. But I work remotely so opportunities to meet fellow devs are limited... I would love to make new friends who are in the same boat though 💃

Reach out to meet!

I just caught myself feeling a wave of pure joy.

When I’m deep in my "tunnel vision for hours straight" work mode, my husband doesn’t interrupt me, doesn't even say a word. Just quietly leaves a fresh glass of water on my desk every time i finish the previous one <3

Volha Kapitonava @volha-kapitonava.bsky.social · Jul 23

oh my this is so cute! i can totally imagine its ability to throw anyone back in time :D

Volha Kapitonava @volha-kapitonava.bsky.social · Jul 23

@loneliesttw.bsky.social totally knows how to be cozy🌻🌿

True, and humanity will die on the hill of constant "optimising".
Moreover, I went through all these recent years in games, but I still can't wrap my head around high profits and team layoffs. AI is definitely making the process more visible and faster

Eww this is so upsetting :(
Considering how well Candy Crush Saga is still doing...

Saw this template on TikTok and thought it's a cool way to show my gaming story!

Narrative-led & puzzle games have my heart forever 💙

Honourable mentions: Inside, Portal, To the Moon, Life Is Strange, and The Beginner's Guide.

My fav unhinged email sign-offs that i actually used:

- checkmate,
- we ride at dawn,
- here we go!!
- imho you rock.

I started playing Yakuza 0 (my first Yakuza game, tho I heard A LOT about the series) and I can't get over the epicness of the mundane!!!

And there's literally Don Quijote musicin the Don Quijote store?? This game is 10/10 Japan experience, and I'm not even done with Chapter 3

Woke up with the birds today! With the birds very loudly eating my innocent cherry tomatoes :D

I already took out all the ripe ones, but ughhhh there are still so many getting ready. I must now figure out how to protect them!!

Volha Kapitonava @volha-kapitonava.bsky.social · Jun 17

Hey, my pleasure!! Also feel free to ping me/reach out if you want an outsider look at the scope of your ideas 🫶

But overall, my best advice for first-starters is to have one cool feature or short cool story and make it work instead of building the whole world!
