We're on Steam! Wishlist now, play soon. #indiedev #gamedev #indiegame #solodev 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 sealbeegames.itch.io/bean-sidhe

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. 🇮🇪✊❤️🪦🐾

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!

"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!

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.

Dia dhuit ar maidin! Come walk through Death's Garden and find strength in stories of resistance. Yesterday we rested. Today we fight back. 3GB download, 1 hour run time, free to play. #indiegame #gamedev #indiedev sealbeegames.itch.io/bean-sidhe

Explore more than graves - in Death's Garden, the fae may also make their presence known. Play Bean Sidhe on March 17th, available on Itch.io. Game will be free with an optional donation - all (ALL) proceeds will be donated to www.instagram.com/n38u14/ and Ahmed gofund.me/055df4d6 #gamedev

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? #gamedev #indiedev

Bean Sidhe is officially launching on 3/17/25 (I know, St. Patrick's Day, let me be extra). Thank you to @mimicsnmisfits.bsky.social for the promo video! #gamedev #indiegamedev #indiedev youtu.be/sKfbUhvmnB0

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

"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. #gamdev #solodev #indiedev

I'm saving most for the game proper, but in light of everything, this performance felt important to share. Thank you to @byconniechang.bsky.social for giving voice to Ash and to @djstygian.bsky.social for contributing to the script. We have to show up for each other. CW suicide youtu.be/YVWXcGtV34I

It is absolutely killing me how different this game looks 9 (????) months later. #gamedev #indiegamedev #solodev

Fine. You can pet the cat. #gamedev #indiegamedev #solodev

Memories unlock as you progress and experience them in the game. With such beautiful voice acting, I want to make sure players can hear these stories as much as they please. #gamedev #indiegame #solodev

What a difference a talented concept artist and lighting designer makes, huh?

Kicking off 2025 a Sealbee account for dev updates and game progress! If you'd like to keep tabs on Bean Sidhe, go here www.sealbeegames.com/bean-sidhe. I just need an email to reach out to when the game releases. I don't want your data, I just want to let you know when the story is ready to share.
