Omg… I love cozy/wholesome games! This looks amazing and cute 🥰

thegingerelf.bsky.social•69 days ago

I'm gonna buy your game and play the shit out of it. This is a threat.

scribblerox.bsky.social•69 days ago

still screaming in excitement for this to releaseeeeee

chaoticncozy.bsky.social•69 days ago

Definitely eagerly anticipating this release, and hoping to stream it too!

discountygame.bsky.social•69 days ago

thank you ^^ and I'm super happy to hear that, we're hoping to have more info to share with creators in a few months ☺️

superfriends.cool•69 days ago

Eagerly anticipating this one on consoles! Love that you are posting on the bluer skies.

discountygame.bsky.social•69 days ago

thank you ^^ which console do you think you'll play it on?

superfriends.cool•69 days ago

Xbox Series X would be my primary. I also have PS5, though, so I'm ready for wherever it ends up.

und3adcupcak3.bsky.social•68 days ago

Super excited for your game launch! 😍

autumnsbounty.bsky.social•68 days ago

discountygame.bsky.social•68 days ago

thank you! ^^

sn0wbubble.bsky.social•68 days ago

This looks cute af

rutledge.bsky.social•69 days ago

Ooooh, this is neat. I'll spin up a @criticdb.bsky.social page - would love to know what 5-10 games you think it's most similar to!

discountygame.bsky.social•69 days ago

thank you! ^^ some of our biggest inspirations were: Moonlighter, Recettear, Stardew Valley, Harvest Moon Friends of Mineral Town, Animal Crossing New Horizons, & Dillon's Dead-heat Breakers (an obscure 3DS game with a supermarket minigame ^^)

rutledge.bsky.social•69 days ago

Thank you! Page is up :)

Gaming on Linux shared y'all, just wishlisted

meanderlust.bsky.social•69 days ago

Just wishlisted, this looks fantastic! Very my speed, and I love that it’s not clamoring for 100 hours of my time.

ghoulsengel.bsky.social•69 days ago

Excited for this release!! Bluesky is def the place to put down roots 💚

discountygame.bsky.social•69 days ago

thanks so much! 🙏 I really hope it can replace the other site

amaiguri.bsky.social•68 days ago

There's not as much of an algorithm, so it's probably a little harder to get pushed. But please stay cuz it's so nice here!

andrewjones.uk•67 days ago

This looks lovely. Followed and wishlisted.

tuppencepies.bsky.social•69 days ago

Looks so cute! I have to ask, is there an endless mode? I often get sad when management sims don't let me just mindlessly do the thing more. Not a deal breaker in the least! Just curious.

lyssorthat.bsky.social•68 days ago

So cute!! Bluesky is DEFINITELY a great place for cozy game lovers and content creators!

iamhunniebee.bsky.social•69 days ago

This game looks super cute!!

rhapsperhaps.bsky.social•69 days ago

Very excited for Discounty! ✨

discountygame.bsky.social•69 days ago

chvosking.bsky.social•68 days ago

Omg yes!! I️ have this on my Steam wishlist!!!

discountygame.bsky.social•68 days ago

ah amazing, thank you so much! 🤩

halflingspy.bsky.social•69 days ago

I ugly laughed when I saw your trailer last year, shared it with all my friends, and wrote about it.

https://www.spritesanddice.com/news/wholesome-direct-showcase-2024-highlights/

There aren’t as many people here, but I’ve found interaction happens more! Actual interaction.

lambchop93.bsky.social•69 days ago

This game looks amazing! Can’t wait to play it on PlayStation!

thousandyoung.bsky.social•69 days ago

Loving the cozy aesthetic! Best of luck with your game! (Also, thank you for using Alt text)

fishy195.bsky.social•69 days ago

discountygame.bsky.social•69 days ago

ah thank you so much ^^

findthestrawberry.com•69 days ago

Lots of cost gaming in bsky! I don't know if it's as active as X, but there are way less bots and it is just nicer overall.

discountygame.bsky.social•68 days ago

definitely appreciate the lower amount of bots and spam here! 😅

massiegg.bsky.social•69 days ago

I really want to play this!!

wtfblossom.bsky.social•68 days ago

Is there creator specific newsletter/sign-up? I'd love to be considered for a review key for streams/videos as this looks totally up my alley!

discountygame.bsky.social•68 days ago

we'll have a sign up form eventually but I'll add you to our initial outreach list now! :) our regular newsletter always gets updates first

wtfblossom.bsky.social•68 days ago

Sweet, thank you! I'll make sure to sign up for the regular newsletter so I don't miss anything! 😊

nov8r.bsky.social•68 days ago

Demo?

Would love to play on #SteamDeck

marylopunny.bsky.social•69 days ago

You've got my attention!

dogtreestudios.itch.io•69 days ago

This seems like a @ba-original.bsky.social game for sure!

😂

tulilipz.online•67 days ago

ladysarahsapphire.bsky.social•67 days ago

I've had this on my steam wishlist since I first heard about it at...maybe the wholesome direct? I'd love to play the demo on stream with my community! We love cozy games! Can't wait for release. I'll take a look for a newsletter or emailing list

circusofviv.com•69 days ago

I'm STOKED to play this game and write about it!!! 🥰🥰🥰

discountygame.bsky.social•69 days ago

thanks! ^^ excited to read you write about it :)

snailpass.itch.io•69 days ago

I didn't realize you guys were on here! Have had the game on my wishlist for a lil bit, looks super cool !!

discountygame.bsky.social•68 days ago

thanks so much! and yes it's a bit slow reconnecting with people on here but glad you found us ^^

estromat.bsky.social•69 days ago

Seriously, the one and only reason I still have a twitter account is the lack of gaming content at bsky - but it's getting better. So yes, be part of making gaming great on bsky! (looked for your game. Was already wishlisted 😬)

sleepyrocket.bsky.social•68 days ago

I saw your trailer a while back and loved it, hope you find success on this platform!

discountygame.bsky.social•68 days ago

aw thanks, the trailer was really fun to make! ^^

2nerdsonacouch.bsky.social•69 days ago

EPIC GAMES STORE TOO? 💙 Let's go!

2nerdsonacouch.bsky.social•69 days ago

Definitely a fan of the art style 😊

redria64.bsky.social•68 days ago

I'm still hoping to hear more about playtesting! this looks right up my alley 🥰

discountygame.bsky.social•68 days ago

thank you! ^^ and we are sending out the first round of playtest invitations this month!

kobanya.bsky.social•69 days ago

sweetga.me•69 days ago

This looks great. Adding it to my wishlist!

ravvyplaysgames.bsky.social•68 days ago

Glad to have you here! Looking forward to your game. ^.^

bit66.bsky.social•68 days ago

lmao are they planning a mouse uprising?? 😂

discountygame.bsky.social•68 days ago

there's definitely something a bit odd about the rats in this town....

noctisnexus.bsky.social•69 days ago

found this game because of Bluesky a couple months back and I’m so excited to play!!! if you guys end up doing keys I’d love to do a stream on it when the time comes, a lot of my pals like to see new games before they buy and it should help a bit! (will be playing regardless of keys though) 🩷🥳

discountygame.bsky.social•69 days ago

thank you! ^^ and great to hear you heard about us here! it will be a while before it's relevant but will definitely add you to our outreach list now <3

endalia.bsky.social•69 days ago

Good luck with the release! It looks super cute and would definitely play it.

discountygame.bsky.social•69 days ago

Discounty is a cozy supermarket management game with a satirical twist where you:

🛒 Salvage a failing store
🏙️ Explore a run-down harbor town
🍎 Organize & restock shelves
🧑‍🤝‍🧑 Make friends—& enemies!

Wishlist here: http://bit.ly/DiscountyGame

discountygame.bsky.social•69 days ago

It's a narrative-driven management life sim that takes about 15 hours to complete.

Over the course of the game you'll get to know the people who live in town, both outside and inside the store. ❤️

Their personalities also determine how they shop -- making customer behavior feel more lifelike!

rocktb.bsky.social•69 days ago

Does that mean there are Karens who ask to see the manager? If so, can we get varying levels of water guns to scare them off? :D

discountygame.bsky.social•69 days ago

😂 there are definitely a few customers who have no patience and no chill. (luckily in this game you ARE the manager ^^)

a lot of people have asked for ways to retaliate to mean customers (someone has suggested trap doors 😂) so maybe in a future update...

rocktb.bsky.social•69 days ago

Sign me up for silly options, like a clown who throws pies at them.

casthelilghostie.bsky.social•69 days ago

This sounds amazing and the kind of game I absolutely love!
I haven’t seen this pop up on steam for me yet so nearly missed it!

discountygame.bsky.social•69 days ago

We're a small team consisting of just 3 full-time and 2 part-time develpers, and this is our first game! ✨

You can find us on most other socials & we also have a newsletter where we share exclusive updates and devlogs about making the game!

meztermind.bsky.social•68 days ago

Hi, I’m Mez and a cozy content creator on Twitch. I’d love to review this game with my community. Do you have any newsletter to sign-up for?

digitalchs.bsky.social•69 days ago

Hiya, I am a co-editor of @thumbculture.co.uk & I'm really interested in doing a review or preview article for your game, is it this possible to get a game key at all?

It looks so cute and you've been on my radar for a while now 💖

discountygame.bsky.social•69 days ago

thank you! 🥰 we are aiming for a summer launch so won't have press keys for a bit, but will add you to our outreach list! :)

digitalchs.bsky.social•69 days ago

Thank you! I think I told @matthewpunter.bsky.social sufficiently how much I love the look of Discounty 💖

indiedivattv.bsky.social•69 days ago

Just setting this here :)

I have experience with Beta testing, in fact, my roommate and I just finished a test yesterday *lol

I love the look and would love to give it a run when ready to test, or a key to stream to draw more attention :)

thekevinmiller.com•69 days ago

The struggle is real

thekevinmiller.com•69 days ago

By that I mean the tension between the other place and here.

Game looks fun! Thanks for sharing.

simonva.bsky.social•69 days ago

Looks awesome!

bwick.bsky.social•69 days ago

yes it’s worth it. i have been following your game over on twitter since it was announced and don’t use twitter anymore. please share here as well!

lesterlee.bsky.social•69 days ago

Yoooo this looks rad!
