Thank you for reading it. I was a bit hesitant framing our experience in such personal terms because...huh...I don't know, I'll figure it out after a bit. Maybe because I'd get my feelers hurt if it didn't resonate with

So I can see how you can debug BASIC when you're doing the magazine thing and it doesn't run. But what about hex...how did people even find where they made had typos?

Guess my insecurity comes from not having any kind of programming or even math background. Esp in group game jams, I have a feeling I'd be the weakest link and everyone would yell at me.

I would think that quite a good chunk of people who go into tech (as a general domain) did so because they loved games as a kid. This is true for us and anecdotally, everyone I know who is in IT has tried their hand at making a game at one

The first game I made was a Breakout clone in Unity -- only rivalled in popularity among baby game devs by Pong clones. I like Unity, it's free for a super small indie. I liked learning C#. However, when I reached the point where I was

I respect that. Thank you for your very kind words and well wishes. I think creativity is simply the synthesis of all that's past and what's present around you. What we celebrate as originality is mashup. And I think that's a

Thank you. It's been pointed further down in the comments that this claim is not as straightforward as we intended it. There's a thing or two going on in our website, mostly with an embedded player from Bandcamp and something goin

I remember watching parts of this before from other sources. Thanks for linking the whole thing, my husband has never seen it so we're gonna watch it together later. Thank you for reading my post.

Thank you. I guess a lot of people (including me) can be apprehensive about wading into technical domains. I've run into some hostile online environments, for sure. But a great majority of people are are always enthusiastic to help any

Barely scratching the surface of that domain. I'm mostly enamored of enabling little automations in my other hobbies. Like moisture sensors and auto sprinklers for my indoor grow. One day, I'll do something about everything!

I see what you mean, thanks for pointing all of that out. I admit that the finer points of privacy are not really my area. We only meant that we as a company don't collect or store or use the data of anyone who interacts with us. But

I just downloaded your game and started giggling. This is why I love indie games: the stuff you experience can be fucking sublime, no matter how long or how little it lasts. The artwork is ~ chef’s kiss ~ . Found myself truly watching out f

Wow, this was not a thing where I grew up. I never even saw a real pc until I was in uni. That sounds awesome. Thanks for explaining. EDIT: Still totally fascinated by this. I asked my husband because I remembered that he had a much-beloved

The landing page seems...busy. Is this what results will look like after a search? I'm not being facetious. And I'm certainly not a dev-dev (filthy casual, some might call me) so maybe I'm just not seeing what the advantages
