It's been a fantastic ride @pengonauts.com 🤖

Huge shoutout to @joystickventures.bsky.social, our investor / publisher.

I remember in our first meeting the fund manager asked "How much do you need to make the best version of the game?"

They really believed in the early vision of our new studio with no track record - and it's paying off!

When we moved a few months back, I was all in on classics like Monster Train and Slay the Spire to destress.

StarVaders is like you took those two games, mushed 'em up with chess, and painted it mecha. I'm obsessed.
