Hello hello, we’re closing late pledges for Bibdu on Kickstarter today so this is your last chance to preorder Bibdu if you fancy doing so!
You’ll get your name in credits & an exclusive armoured version of your hound Cú in the game!

We are also super excited to be working with Justine G Cappelli who will be painting our Tuatha Dé!
She has an unbelievable exhibition on in the Garage Theatre in Monaghan at the moment if you are nearby you should definitely pop in!

there's an upcoming game about the Gaeltacht that's doing the rounds on socials that's riddled with GenAI. Their excuse is "I'm making this game in my own time while I have a young family", which is not an excuse if you think of the thousands of games released by folks who didn't need to use GenAI..
They're so close to the €70,000 stretch goal for a Nintendo Switch port! Only a few hours left to back it!

Bibdu is down to its final 5 days on Kickstarter! I can’t put into words how grateful we are for all the support this whirlwind of a month :’)
With that we want to share the love with another Kickstarter project that shares our love of the environment and hand painting!

Woodlands is a special collection of dreamlike fantasy illustrations and poems by artist Ulla Thynell.
Ulla’s work is full of dreamy mystical scenes of forests, animals and nature, created by hand with ink and pencil!

We recently met Barry and Lara bibdu.bsky.social and fell in love with their work and passion for hand-made art.
Bibdu is an Irish mythology RPG with open-world exploration and card-based combat. Every detail is so beautiful and thoughtful.
How far will you go to become immortal once more?

Thank you for the shares everyone!
Our next stretch goal is to include the work of Justine G. Cappelli, I think her designing the characters will totally level up the game so I’m really hoping we make it!
Here’s some of her work :)
Find more of her work on IG & www.thechickenleggedworkshop.com

Just spent a week in the north 1/3 of Ireland (draw a line from Dundalk to glencolmcille - everywhere above that!) researching locations for our game!
Here’s four of my faves:
1. Labby Rock (Nuadas Grave)
2. Carrowmore
3. Creevykeel
4. Giants Causeway

The big day is finally here...
🌟The Witchlight Woods DEMO is OUT!🌟

Try it now on Steam: store.steampowered.com/app/4604730/...#indiedev#indiegame#solodev#horrorgame
Indie game question:
What do you prefer in a game - more animation/movement in scenes, or more scenes/story in general?
I guess quality or quantity, sort of?
Interested in hearing any opinions!
#indiedev#gamedev#indiegame#solodev#kickstarter
Personally, I generally prioritise ambiance over story, I’m very visual & find it hard to play something that doesn’t appeal to my eyes so story comes second to that - I’m wondering if that’s a common stance or am I in an echo chamber with my own thoughts lol
