We just backed Chicago Indie Game Showcase on @kickstarter.com www.kickstarter.com/projects/ind... It's cool and weird being old enough to see different generations of indies take on the mantle of Indie Cultivation.

"Tom, why do you keep plugging this game?" Forget that I worked on it or Battle Chef (VIVE LA BRIGADE!) I'm an absolute SUCKER for deck builders. Trinket got the band back together, and more!, for this one and just like Battle Chef - the look, the sounds, the feel, the VIBES are immaculate.

Woohoo! Very Positive! We set up a separate Next Fest page for the demo in the hopes that we'd get enough reviews to snowball a bit. We'll see if that gamble pays off! store.steampowered.com/app/3408070/...

Just finished the demo for this and holy cow is it the real deal. Gameplay is fun and crunchy and there is SO MUCH incredible art packed into it. I also like that it makes you keep adding new things to your deck. I wonder how the full game is gonna deal with deck bloat/pruning later on.

Normal design flow for us: - Overdesign and add 4 overlapping systems - Hate it and simplify to 1 - Resurrect half the complexity after realizing we only really hated one of the systems

I posted in the Battle Chef Brigade community on Steam that Battle Suit Aces has a demo. Most responses were positive, but this one literally took the cake, digested it, and shared it back with the floor.

In honor of the Next Fest demo, it's time for another episode of "Will It Ship?" where the answer is almost always: probably 😀 Blue Crest's Azure Beam vfx textures are from Color Sheep, Trinket's first game. It's the most powerful weapon in each game. store.steampowered.com/app/3408070/...

🌈🤖Meet Felix! Felix is the pilot of ancient Pholian relic Blue Crest. The challenge of piloting such a suit as an Earthkin pilot is both daunting and exciting to him. His fellow crewmembers are important to him and he fosters several interesting relationships (of a couple kinds 😉) along the way!

Let's meet a character! This is Admiral Lyra Vermeulen. They founded Patchworks and, unlike the other Admirals, are a strong advocate for scientific exploration and push for needed change among the Union ranks. A brilliant tactician, they can successfully convince nearly anyone to be on their side.
