It’s been a big week for past guests of Dialogue Tree (4/?). It’s 2 for 1, as podcasting partners in crime @monolithfiji.bsky.social and @pdyx.bsky.social have made a game together! HYPER DEBT SWAP is a “relentless match-three/clicker-game credit card debt simulator” and it’s free on @itch.io now!

Has any clever person out there figured out a way to have a better filter on itch . io's game jams? I would like to search for a specific length (or at least greater than x and less than y) of time. I'd also like to be able to look at jams that are farther than two months out so I can plan.

When my son was an infant I spent many nights trying to rock him to sleep. Across from the rocker hung a string of paper robots. I stared at those robots for so long that I named them and gave them backstories. Now, about ten years later, I've made a video game that stars those robots.

I'm so excited for folks to experience Monochrome Heights and learn about the story and characters and world of the game as much as the gameplay. It's not very common for 2D platformers to have a dynamic narrative where dialogue choices matter. The game comes out NEXT WEEK!
Screenshot from Monochrome Heights where Happy the Robot is talking to a phasebot who says "Word around the tower is that Goldbot and Layla used to be friends, but Goldbot turned evil!"
