Axolotl 🚀 @pengonauts.com · 25/02/2026feel this in my bones my games so far have been "one for them" games that are safe for the market so that our third game can finally be a riskier, more innovative "one for me" game 0110

Reposted by Axolotl 🚀Dave Zhang @godsavant.bsky.social · 22/11/2025At last, here's my capsule art for DiceVaders , a dice-based strategy game by Pengonauts! Or is it Dice◈Vaders...? It's a dice-based follow-up to the roguelite deckbuilder StarVaders, but this time you play as the alien invaders from the first game. 2336

Reposted by Axolotl 🚀Jonah Davidson @hangedman.bsky.social · 25/09/2025I strongly believe in the breadth and influence of independent art, to grant us oblique angles on the world and ourselves. But also every indie game is somewhere on this spectrum: 281074369
Axolotl 🚀 @pengonauts.com · 10/08/2025I am prototyping two new games - one is a game driven by passion and exploring game design space that I've wanted for years - the other is a game driven by HATE, completely soulless, i am compelled by some dark forces to make both gonna be great, stay tuned for more information 2401
Axolotl 🚀 @pengonauts.com · 08/07/2025if you're evil and get enough players, you could put fake steam pages up to crowdsource player intuition to market test if a game concept would do well 110

Reposted by Axolotl 🚀Dan DiIorio @trampolinetales.com · 07/07/2025These innovative geniuses took it upon themselves to clone my game not once, but twice! What a wonderful use of the $6,000,000 in funding you got for *checks notes* "inventing the luck-puzzler genre." I guess I'm just not enough of a scumbag to add microtransactions to my game, I'll work on that! 2409

Axolotl 🚀 @pengonauts.com · 09/05/2025Huge shoutout to @joystickventures.bsky.social, our investor / publisher. I remember in our first meeting the fund manager asked "How much do you need to make the best version of the game?" They really believed in the early vision of our new studio with no track record - and it's paying off! 3326
