Steam just confirmed its discounts and events tab is going fully algorithmic, with the front page getting more personalized in 2027. As a small studio, genuinely curious if this helps indies get found or just favors whoever's already winning. #IndieGameDev #GameDev #Steam

Small, grumpy, and wearing a wizard hat two sizes too big. This little guy will be behind the counter of The Last Tea House. Would you trust him with your tea order? 🍵 #PixelArt #CozyGames #IndieGames

Watching our artist build a new room in The Last Tea House, brick by brick. There's something oddly satisfying about watching pixel art come together layer by layer. #coygame #indiegame #pixelart #gamedev #indiegamedev

Every traveler at The Last Tea House is a hybrid , but this one breaks the pattern. Not two animals this time. Human anatomy, alien features. He doesn't look like anyone else who's walked through that door. #IndieGameDev #GameDev #CozyGame

Meet the water samurai who visits The Last Tea House. Whiskers like a koi, a blade at his side, and a small companion who never leaves his shadow. He doesn't say much , but he doesn't need to. #IndieGameDev #GameDev #CozyGame

The Last Tea House isn't limited to real seasons. We're building weather that only exists in this world , and it changes what a guest's memory reveals. What impossible season would you want to see? #IndieGameDev #GameDev #CozyGame

Winter in The Last Tea House looks like this. Same grid, same "Day 1", but the room feels colder, quieter. Each season doesn't just change the palette, it changes how the tea house feels to sit in. #IndieGameDev #GameDev #CozyGame

Testing out different calendar styles for The Last Tea House , this one's built for spring. Each season gets its own look, not just a palette swap. Rain-soaked "Day 1" tiles fade into something greener as the seasons turn. #IndieGameDev #GameDev #CozyGame

Every day in The Last Tea House starts like this, rain against the window, and a blank grid waiting to be filled. We're testing a few different calendar styles right now. This is one version of "Day 1." #IndieGameDev #GameDev #CozyGame

In our game The Last Tea House, you brew tea from real-world cultures, each one unlocks a different way into a stranger's hidden past. Japanese tea is one of five. It isn't rushed. Whisk it slow and steady , get the rhythm wrong and the guest reads it instantly. #GameDev #CozyGame #IndieGame

Every cup of tea in The Last Tea House hides a memory. Brew it wrong, and the truth stays buried. Brew it right, and someone's past finally makes sense. Five cultures. Five ways to remember. #IndieGameDev #GameDev #CozyGame #IndieGame
