Don't forget to check out all the great Pride month interviews we did, including this one with two members of @purplesloth.studio! 🏳️‍🌈

I took a break from Our Life to explore the #lgbtq options on #itchio and found this little #walkingsimulator by @purplesloth.studio for exploring different gender identities and expressions. I enjoyed it so much, I inadvertently dressed to match one of the rooms. youtu.be/XpWkGAufgTc?...

We interviewed two developers from Purple Sloth Studio who worked on Trails for this week's Pride Month feature!

🦊Ashe did an interview with @thinkygames.com about Blobun and how we realized our strengths as a plural system while working on it (unfortunately "remember that this interview was live already" isn't one of those strengths LOL) check it out!! thinkygames.com/features/wha...

For the second article in our Pride Month series, we talked with Idolon about Clover's Quadrants!

So what do you think about level editors in puzzle games? Is that something you want or would use? Is there a game that you enjoyed more because of the level editor or community levels? #indieGameDev #puzzleGames #levelEditor

Yeah, we are very much in the Kei range with our games 😅 Interesting to see in the article: even though the number of kei games increases rapidly, their total market share stays at about 25% of games sold. No wonder it's getting more and more difficult to sell small games... #indieGameDev

We are currently finishing up the mobile release of TRAILS! 🎉 Not entirely sure all of it was worth it though - I mean does anyone even care about achievements on mobile? Just adding the translations in the terrible online interfaces was a good 5-6 hours... #indieGameDev #puzzleGames #mobileGame

We had the chance to introduce our game on stage today #gamescom with a few of our colleagues from the games accelerator program. That was super exciting to tell an audience in person about Frame of Mind - A game of thoughts. #indiedev #gamedev #pitching #indiegame

Trails is hitting mobile soon, and it’ll come with a limited free version to give you a taste. So we thought it was only fair to bring a demo to our desktop platforms too.

Just make it exist first - you can make it good later! When developing our game TRAILS, a lot of time was spent on improvements and polish, but the crucial first step was a prototype that was created in less than a week! #indieGameDev #prototyping

It's supposedly about porn and abuse at the moment, but "adult content" will include any form of queerness soon enough! We need to create alternatives - but in the meantime we also need to stand together and fight what is happening! #sexWorkIsWork

🎤🎧 Thanks @trueavatars.bsky.social for having @betalars.bsky.social on their Queer Video Game Podcast. If you are interested what developing games as a neurodivergent person is like go check it out. #indiegame #gamedev #podcast #indiedev #lgbtq+ #gay #queer

Choose your own colors! 💜🦥 With update 1.3 of TRAILS you are able to customize the ships' colors to make them stand out best for your individual needs. Even though we are only a small studio, as neurodivergent devs we care about making our games as accessible as possible. #gamedev #accessibility

A bit of contemplative beatboxing helps Joe think!

The universal symbol for collapsing floors in a puzzle game!

Currently exploring the perspective on disability in Solarpunk with a critical perspective on technoableism. In this context, I also want to explore Solarpunk games. I haven't gotten very far yet... So if you have any tips or suggestions for texts, accounts, or similar, please let me know :)
