Today's Halloween, the perfect time to play our *free* spooky comedy #pointAndClick adventure game "The founders of [redacted]". It features gorgeous #pixelArt graphics, witches, ghosts, romance, mystery, magic, inept public officials, and mail carrier demons. What else could you ask for!? https://apicici.itch.io/the-founders-of-redacted It's short (1-2 hours, depending on your playing style), free, and it can be played directly from the browser (including smartphones). Really, you have no excuse not to play it.

We made a new #pointAndClick #adventureGame! We submitted "Dumbass/smartass" as our entry for the #108AdvChal jam. You can play it here: https://apicici.itch.io/dumbass-smartass This one was a roller coaster. It took us the whole first week to come up with our story idea, then we spent the first half of the second week flip-flopping between "what a great idea" and "this idea is terrible", then whipped up the game in the last 3 days. We ended up making something we are really proud of 🙂 #gameDev #indieDev

We're planning to participate in the #108AdvChal game jam. We're not 100% sure we'll be able to finish in time (the theme is annoyingly restrictive, and on top of that the idea we had gives us a huge storytelling challenge) but we'll try! So far we have a rough idea of the story, have decided on the characters and we also decided on the title of the game. Art-wise, I designed 3 of the four characters and gave them talking animations. We're using a bigger resolution than usual! #pixelArt

Decided to go back to the unfinished #vulkan renderer in my engine. If I'm not back in a week send help. #indieDev #gameDev

🧵 2/2 If you didn't enjoy the game we'd still love to hear from you, as long as you can provide constructive criticism. And if you haven't played the game yet, you can find it here: https://apicici.itch.io/the-founders-of-redacted #foundersOfRedacted #indiedev #gamedev

The founders of [redacted] released two weeks ago! According to the @itchio analytics quite a few people have played it. Now, numbers and graphs are nice an everything, but I have no idea if people actually liked the game! If you have played it and enjoyed it, we would love to hear from you! It doesn't matter how you reach out—we're not trying to drive any algorithm, we just want to know your opinion 😊 🧵 1/2 #foundersOfRedacted #indiedev #gamedev

🇮🇹 The #Italian translation of "The founders of [redacted]" is ready! Good thing I thoroughly tested it, I had introduced a couple of nasty game-crashing bugs in the process of getting the game ready to load translations! ------- 🇮🇹 La traduzione italiana di "Le fondatrici di [redatto]" è pronta! Meno male che l'ho testata a fondo, avevo introdotto alcuni bug rompi-gioco nel processo di aggiungere al gioco la capacità di caricare le traduzioni! https://apicici.itch.io/the-founders-of-redacted #gameDev #indieDev

Finished translating all the lines, added the button in the menu to change languages... and then I remembered that I also have a bunch of images to translate 😩

#Translation update: I just translated a pun-based joke that couldn't be translated literally into a pun-based joke in the target language that captures EXACTLY the essence of the original. In took me three day to come up with it. I'm very proud of myself. (I'm the one who wrote the original pun, I did this to myself) #foundersOfRedacted #indieDev #gameDev
