A signal boost for this awesome dev log by @elanamakesgames.bsky.social! I got to playtest Old and Gray from @bolerogamestudio.bsky.social for the first time at GDC and I am so ready to cry my way through this wonderfully heartfelt and cozy narrative game when it comes out ✨😭💕

Being a game designer isn't about getting things right the first time: it's about trying something out, listening to playtesters, trusting your team, then trying again! Here's my dev log about the evolution of a rhythm game at @bolerogamestudio.bsky.social: bolerogamestudio.itch.io/old-and-gray...

It's #GDC season and the Bolero crew is in SF with a new 7-min demo of Old & Gray! The whole team has been hard at work enriching and polishing our latest build for playtesting with fellow GDC attendees. To celebrate, this month we're sharing a deep dive into our game design process on our devlog!

Happy Valentine's Day, lovers! This month's Old & Gray update comes from our composer Yi-Fan, who has a lot to share about the development process for music and sound in a game with a lot of feelings. Enjoy a sneak peek at the new music for autumn, winter, & spring on our devlog! 💞 🐾

“We’ve waited a long and difficult year to finally be together again. ... Let’s allow the falling of the leaves to remind us of our fleeting moments in this life, to allow us a moment of togetherness for however long is possible, and to look forward to when the leaves grow once again." — Monty xx

Happy holidays, gamers! After Old & Gray's success at the 2024 Macro Jam, our team knew we had to expand this cozy lil slice of life game into a full cozy pie. Over the past few weeks, we've been hard at work polishing mechanics, expanding lore, and changing the seasons for Lloyd & Gray. 🎄 👴🏾 🐾
