Today, Giacomo ( @giacomo.7thbe.at ) from Rhythm Doctor ( @rd.7thbe.at ) visited my café! Last year, Hafiz ( @fizzd.bsky.social ) came by too. I never imagined I'd get to meet both of them. My English isn't great, but we talked, laughed, and had a wonderful time together!

This video expresses everything we've been going for wonderfully (and it was a delight to learn about the other two). And every time window dance is brought up I want to shoutout @taronuke.net who did it first in NotITG and inspired us!! Example Exschwasion's chart: www.youtube.com/watch?v=3MOA...

I've been recently dabbling with DaVinci Resolve, and is it just me or it's a incredibly intuitive app to learn?? I've only checked a few tutorials + googling and most stuff makes so much sense PS: I don't come from a video editing background

Thank you for all the amazing reviews you're leaving about Rhythm Doctor. It is really fuel for us to continue making the best stuff we can 🙏

If Rhythm Doctor wouldn't sell in Asia, overall we would have 62% less sales and 54% less revenue... Maybe there's bias because it's a rhythm game but nonetheless... Localization to Chinese, Japanese and Korean (CJK) is still very underrated!!

I disagree with you, but that's what life's about right? jk I 100% agree haha, i'm also loving Pluribus. Been watching analysis videos and every one comes up with new observations; the fact it can ring true to so many interpretations, at least to me, makes me appreciate it even more.

I've been playing Bits & Bops from @tempolab.games and it's makes me grin on every new level. Congrats to the team for the tight gameplay and tutorials, the incredibly cute art, the super good music, the ZERO LATENCY on a PC game, and all from a 3-person team? Amazing 👌

#3157 A helpful tutorial

A digital drawing of one of those drawing tutorials that says 'don't do this, do this.'
The drawing is of an almost naked middle-aged man doing a flying kick. The 'Don't do this' one has a bunch of areas circled and a cross under it. The 'Do this' one is exactly the same but without the circles and a tick instead of a cross.
The text reads 'Needlessly adding red circles will ruin your art' and a smaller bit of text at the bottom reads 'Bonus tip! Add a tick under all your art so people think you did it right.'

just in case anyone still hasn't heard of the MILLION-download 4.8⭐ FREE NO ADS only 100MB very charming endless runner Chiki's Chase!!!! Also I get entertainment every time i look at the reviews!

Great game, but it could use a TWIST:
what I mean by twist is that I have a few ideas that you will either live or hate: one, maybe add a few bosses to each biome! And if you beat all bosses then it gives you a mysterious hint of some other world and as soon as I you enter another run, the entire screen shakes VIOLENTLY, as chiki looks confused and worried. After getting to the third shop and leave the ground shakes again and a roar is heard, suddenly the ground opens beneath chiki! Then the screen turns black, then chiki wakes up in a dimly lit area and hears another roar. Chiki continues on as more roars are heard more and more frequently as they get louder. Then chiki runs to a stop, as something GODLIKE falls from the sky, roars and the fight begins. You can decide the things attacks, when the thing is almost dead it refills it's HP. Try as you might, you can't leave a scratch on it. Then when you are almost dead, something falls from the sky! It's chikis friends! Together, they fuse all their attacks into one and destroy the thing! Then everything goes back to normal and chiki continues on fighting the normal bosses and getting home. When you open the main menu, a new thing pops up! And when used, it blasts the whole screen in a rainbow color but has a long cooldown. That about wraps up my idea and let me know what you think!

Developer Response
,
Cool idea, wish I had lots more money and time to do something like that!

I'm obsessed with this. In this video, where they animated a set of FICTIONAL webcams using GameChat, they animated the characters at a dropped framerate ON PURPOSE to mimic that it will have low framerate in practice??? www.youtube.com/watch?v=Td4Y...

oh yeah that switch 2 tech demo game... I kinda like that? but it's not free?? I just wish they did something closer to Aperture Desk Job but I love learning about hardware through interactive entertainment

Giacomo Preciado @giacomo.7thbe.at · 03/04/2025

at first i was like "oh wow, they found a way to have a bundled game with the Switch 2, just like old times!" because well, flagship games are so expensive to develop nowadays, so bundling a small game like this for free was a good idea. But then I saw it was paid and caught me by surprise haha

🦀 It looks like something crawled into our game... When the calendar flips to April 1st in your timezone, you'll see a new tile waiting for you in the main menu. If you don't want to wait until April 1st, you can type in the code "firestix" to enable it. Have fun with our very normal game 🙂

Screenshot of the main menu screen from A Dance of Fire and Ice on Steam. In addition to the usual choices like "Level Editor" and "Calibration", there is now a new tile in the lower right corner. The tile has the inscription of a crab wearing a jester hat, with white crab particles flowing out of it.

Since we primarily work on Rhythm Doctor and A Dance of Fire and Ice, most things we have to post will probably be on @rd.7thbe.at and @adofai.7thbe.at That said...did you know that the icons on the bottom of our official site lead to other small games we've made? 7thbe.at
