Our friends just released their new game! Now you too can make the entire office like anime. (In game too) If you've ever thought video games should be more like board games give this a shot!

We're live at GDX! Folks can come play the Star Apprentice demo (that's not available publicly yet)! Thanks to @iaalberta.bsky.social for hosting the event!

A convention booth for the game Star Apprentice: Dazzling Danmaku Detective. There is a two monitor setup with one showing a gameplay video and the other available to play the game on. There is a large banner with art of the main character Minnie Star and includes a QR code to go to the Steam page.

Ah, the experience of writing a detective story when you *checks notes* argue with yourself about how your protagonist would order coffee. (The answer is extravagantly btw)

Our evidence thumbnails are a tad big for the UI rn so I had them bounce around like a TV logo. #gamedev

The one infinitely frustrating thing about making a mystery game is that I can't easily blab about it with people because Spoilers exist 🥲

My #1 favorite design trick is when a game establishes a pattern, then breaks that pattern meaningfully. It's like the backbone of so many cool moments imo

I've come to realize the most time consuming things in game dev fall under the category of "making decisions".
