This game is about the allure of a haunted television and the infinite, decaying hotel universe you awake to find yourself trapped within #gamedev #gameart #wip

I've been busy making custom fonts for our new game. This scene depicting a conversation in bathroom stall graffiti uses 3 one-shot fonts. A lot of work for 1 minute of gameplay? Yes. Absolutely worth it? I think so.

Over on our Discord we're talking about our process using @inkle.co 's fabulous scripting language Ink for our game design and writing... atm I'm practicing my skills by making a needlessly complex breakfast buffet simulator. discord.gg/GCmXK3u

Hello Bluesky! We're the Sand Gardeners. For nearly 10 years we've been making eerie, experimental narrative games about haunted places and wayward souls. We're working on a very big, epic release that builds on the silly world we've been crafting. Happy to have you along for the ride!
