The @minnmax.com spotlight about @17-bit.bsky.social, the developer of Awaysis, is incredible. It highlighted the humanity behind game development, with a cool focus on concept art, and showed the process of how creativity in one medium leads to your favorite locales in your favorite games.

The yearly pax is coming up... but just not the same. I will always think of peak Seattle indie days as PAX post setup party thursday night back at the @17-bit.bsky.social studios... and friday morning everyone regretting it deeply... only to repeat it all again on closing night 10X more...

My two seconds in this thing is just @jkooza.bsky.social peer-pressuring me at BitSummit earlier this year into keeping our social activities alive (fear not, they are alive and well). Cool video about our homebros at @17-bit.bsky.social from the lovely folks at @minnmax.com ↓

Awaysis uses physics to enhance its brawler gameplay
Awaysis is shaping up to be a funny and chaotic co-op brawler.

Awaysis - this has such a unique feel and I love it. The combat is all its own (complimentary) but what I found to be the secret star of the show is the slide ability - you can get around fast once you get used to it. I also _love_ the character designs. @17-bit.bsky.social is locked in here

The Awaysis demo has taught me what Diablo always needed was a crumb of Gang Beasts slapstick
