had a nice talk about my upcoming game Bernband with the guardian 👍 www.theguardian.com/games/2025/a...
theguardian.com
Bernband’s alien landscape is the perfect place for digital wandering – just don’t expect a map
With distinct, discrete areas that you can visit at any time, this is not a traditional open world game, and resists gamification with the mantra ‘there’s no goal but to stroll’

tooting our own horns here but i think the new stacklands DLC is really good... - less stressful than the base game - removes a lot of the tedium of late game card management - requires you to think strategically about what to focus on next a big inspiration was simcity and i think we nailed that!

Hi Bsky, I'm Lizzy, an illustrator and character designer. I've been working in games for 15+ years, developing my own games, collaborating on indie games and designing hundreds of UI icons for Horizon 1 + 2 and DLC's. My art style is soft, smooth and organic and I love using vibrant colors 🌸
My aardvark character in different states: default, sleeping, happy, sniffing an apple, looking up and munching on an apple.Floating aquatic womb creatures that are built up out of bright gradual layers.A polygon bear sitting on the grass looking up at a pink deer with antlers made out of trees. They profess their love to each other through hearts in speech bubbles.A happy collection of critters: snails, a worm, jellyfish, tadpole, umbrella octopus, hermit crab, pufferfish and nudibranch.
