Another stellar deckbuilder! I am utterly addicted to this one. The balance is incredible and the story is slick. There's something like 56 permutations of starter teams, and even then you can mix up the starting cards and relics as you meta-progress? It's SO FLIPPING GOOD!

PANEL ANNOUNCEMENT📢 Miko Charbonneau | prettysmart games In this post mortem, Miko talks about how the prettysmart team ensured healthy communication and a joyful post-launch experience between them and their players, when releasing their retro horror deckbuilder, THE SPIRIT LIFT.

Minor Update to THE SPIRIT LIFT! Increased discoverability of evidence, new cards and other secrets. Plus we added accessibility and content notes to our Steam page. store.steampowered.com/news/app/172...

When we asked our lead artist Audrey Twigg to design the trauma cards, she knew just what to do! After all, we were living so many of these feelings! Check out THE SPIRIT LIFT: store.steampowered.com/app/1727590/... #indiegame #screenshotsaturday #gamedev #horrorgames

You probably figured out that Mossferatu was a parody of Nosferatu, but is that the only name reference you found in THE SPIRIT LIFT? 🧐 #indiegame #withacharacternamedIndy #whoisagamer

We’re halfway through #DownloadForCharity! Here’s streamer fr0zenunicorn realizing that The Spirit Lift demo (by @prettysmart.bsky.social) ended right when she was getting into it 😅 Still time to discover great games and support underrepresented game developers 👇 buff.ly/NBm7LX8 #IndieDev

THUNDER’s chaos? The random stops? The “what is THAT?!” energy? Yeah… that’s all based on our dogs and cats 😄 They “help” during dev (by doing nothing 🤣) - and still shape the game the most. #gamedev #indiegame #dog

I do this all the time, even with early prototypes. It helps me guess how big the budget and design/content needs will be. (Comment from @catacalypto.bsky.social's amazing thread of game tips, go check it out!) #gamedev #mathisyourfriend #evensimplemath
