we have quite a few games we looked to for reference to help us with Pirouette Princess, whether it be the genre, visuals, or game design. Do you see any other similarities with other games? #indiedev #gamedev www.kickstarter.com/projects/fri...

How do you deal with the StreetShielders? (Yes that's their name) Pirouette Princess aims to have enemies and stages be flexible in how you tackle them, be it offensive or defensive #indiedev #gamedev #screenshotsaturday Support the Kickstarter! www.kickstarter.com/projects/fri...

Mel belongs to @friendricestudios.bsky.social for a BulletHell game Kickstarter (Pirouette Princess): www.kickstarter.com/projects/fri... I'm surprised I managed such a crazy pose, but it really suits Mel. I decided to apply basic shading to these drawings; we'll see how the next ones turn out.

Wow those VIP slots filled out fast, thank you! We have decided to increase the number of slots of the VIP tier from 10 to 30! We won't be increasing it any further than that, so grab those slots when you can. VIP tier gives you the full game upon release, as well as an NPC with dialogue!
