The @minnmax.com spotlight about @17-bit.bsky.social, the developer of Awaysis, is incredible. It highlighted the humanity behind game development, with a cool focus on concept art, and showed the process of how creativity in one medium leads to your favorite locales in your favorite games.

Tokyo Game Show 2026 スタート！！　See you there?!

The yearly pax is coming up... but just not the same. I will always think of peak Seattle indie days as PAX post setup party thursday night back at the @17-bit.bsky.social studios... and friday morning everyone regretting it deeply... only to repeat it all again on closing night 10X more...

You ever dream of going to Japan with a good buddy and having a ton of huge laughs and then having a highlights video of the trip's best moments? Then do we have a video for you! Any help sharing the new MinnMax Spotlight on @17-bit.bsky.social is appreciated. youtu.be/4c4d85dFsoU

My two seconds in this thing is just @jkooza.bsky.social peer-pressuring me at BitSummit earlier this year into keeping our social activities alive (fear not, they are alive and well). Cool video about our homebros at @17-bit.bsky.social from the lovely folks at @minnmax.com ↓

It was an absolute BLAST hanging out with @haleyfax.bsky.social & @sarahpodz.bsky.social while they were in town. @minnmax.com really understand #indiedev and it was a privilege to share the story of #AWAYSIS with people who love the industry. Wishlist today: store.steampowered.com/app/3334760/...

Our latest test session of our PvP mode Brawly Ball got a little spicy. Friendships are forged, and destroyed on a regular basis on the pitch.  #indiedev #AWAYSIS

Throw @jkooza.bsky.social into the audio room and deliver some bad news. That's how the best #AWAYSIS audio performance is captured! #indiedev #gamedev

@shacknews.com uses a physics sandbox to hilarious effect in its preview of Awaysis, the slapstick, co-op dungeon brawler from @17-bit.bsky.social arriving later this year. #gamespr 🦊⚔️🐸

I really enjoyed my time with @17-bit.bsky.social's Awaysis at PAX East! Brought back nostalgia from the 90s while dropping in some REALLY cool momentum-based physics. Check out my preview & vid!

Treasure hunting at Toji Antique Market in Kyoto

Awaysis - this has such a unique feel and I love it. The combat is all its own (complimentary) but what I found to be the secret star of the show is the slide ability - you can get around fast once you get used to it. I also _love_ the character designs. @17-bit.bsky.social is locked in here

Steam Next Fest is still going strong, and so is response to our new approach to physics in action games!! Try out Awaysis NOW!! store.steampowered.com/app/3334760/...

I want to start a petition that we release a “COLIN MODE”. It’s kinda like a director’s cut, but cooler

Whenever our @colinwilliamson.bsky.social submits work-in-progress cutscenes, he voices them to make adding audio easier. Personally, I think we should ship these as is! 😸 Guest starring Big Matsu, who badly wanted his dinner. #gamedev #indiedev #AWAYSIS #gaming #cat
