Thanks for the shoutout and feedback!
It's easy to skip demo content by going to the classroom early. I will update the demo in the future ๐Ÿ™

In Hillthorn, clues act as conversation subjects. They can also be combined together!

There is no dialogue : You have to interpret the meaning behind the clues you receive.

I noticed that they standardized the Steam awards. It's probably for the better, but I will miss using the Jester in a passive aggressive way ๐Ÿคก

Are you taking games that barely missed the deadline but still released a demo this week? If not no worries, we'll probably make it for the next one ๐Ÿ˜…

Thanks for doing this! Already noticed some nice one in the comments.

Welcome to Bluesky!
I like how it looks! The painted style reminds me of Child of Light a little!

Thanks for giving it a try! I was worried about making them cards because of this, but it just works ๐Ÿ˜…

Balancing the amount of clues visible at the same time was one of the big challenges! If you handled the demo you'll be fine for the whole thing :)

In Hillthorn, you investigate using deduction and logic by combining actions and clues together.

What's sad about this whole bubble is that I feel most people don't really believe these lies. They just don't care because they think it's gonna be profitable anyway.

Finally got around to play Consume Me and I can't recommend it enough. It's easily the best storytelling I've seen this year. ๐Ÿ”ฅ

Rarely have I seen an rpg system serve the story so well! Don't skip it! ๐Ÿ™

Seconded! Don't let them use this logic to put pressure on developers and players to accept things that they're against.

I've spent the last week making a game for #ScreamJam

It's a self person shooter where you play a streamer exploring an abandoned facility.

This is equally confusing and worrying that they are putting so much effort into this. It's sad.

This is the kind of stuff that will make me push hard to change the software we use internally.
