Let's play some more Pokémon SoulSilver! Maybe this time we won't get our asses kicked by a guy that lives on top of a tower and I'll be able to learn more about how the pokéballs work to maybe inspire some things from our cross stitched rpg game! Come hang out over on www.twitch.tv/smoldreamers !

Willem is happy: he can move now. He can even do a little victory dance. This will be even funnier with sounds (imagine what those weapons sound like???) Anyway, join us live to discuss all the progress we've made on our cross-stitched fantasy rpg, mostly regarding combat! Twitch.tv/smoldreamers

I've never played a pokémon game, and Myu (my co-dev) wants to add some systems that are vaguely similar. So it's time to finally play one of those games! Let's do some research! Live now on www.twitch.tv/smoldreamers with Pokémon Soulsilver

Let's explore some more Legend of Heroes: Trails in the Sky! It's been a cool lil game so far. So let's see what else we can learn from it for our own jrpg-inspired game! live now over on www.twitch.tv/smoldreamers !
the cover art for a psp game called the legend of heroes trails in the sky. it shows a long haired character turning their back to us, 2 pigtails swaying in the wind. and another character with dark hair a little further away looking off in the distance. there's no scenery except a mostly blue sky with a few clouds and a tiny airship

I'm live on twitch.tv/smoldreamers to try out another JRPG for research! We're working on an indie jrpg-inspired game of our own, so I want to see what else is out there and learn some stuff. I have never played a Persona game. Let's figure out what makes it tick ! #indiegames #indiedev #persona5

Bonsoir, we are still knee-deep in the "try to seduce that one French institution into giving us a little bit of fundings" for our next project. It's going great (I say, shaking with a lasting headache from looking at the same pitch deck slide for 1 hour) Come check in on us Twitch.tv/smoldreamers
screenshot of an excerpt of a slide from the Pitch deck of our next game, showing a few pictures of medieval embroideries with french text over it saying "Perspective et Motifs: la tapisserie de l'Apocalypse" and "Point de croix médiéval de créatures par Mary, Queen of Scots, XVIe siecle" and "Point de croix: un pixel art avec des variations de points et une texture visible".
In summary: it's a bunch of visual references trying to explain the game's future art direction.

The problem of making 3D limbs, is that at some point you have to make hands and feet. Which means making fingers........ and toes. Spoiler: Myu wasn't a fan. Come tell us how you're feeling about it on Twitch during our weekly(ish) gamedev stream! 💀 Twitch.tv/smoldreamers #indiegame #gamedev
