New year means new calendar styleβ¨Still working through Chat's backlog [BTS its all the way to 2027 nowπ ]
Dev Shoutouts this month are ODale Studios - @weenkus.bsky.social - @achimphang.bsky.social - Dead Zeros - Right Hand Lab - Magnesium Ninja - @ionicrelay.bsky.social - EverySecond Studio
Yes, I am still working on this π€£π¦ββ¬
I have to say it is incredible cozy to have a micro bird garden on your screen while you do other stuff
As someone who has a balcony with a bird feeder, this just feels like I am adding it to my desktop now

I created this small cozy corner where birds can freely come and go on your desktop πͺΏ
My original goal was just to porotype how I could do some on-desktop games with #raylib but I ended leaving it on because it feels so cozy
Maybe I should add a pond there as well for the duck

Happy to report Kinsfolk is officially Steam Deck verified! π
I put a lot of effort into this, both testing and optimizing the performance, super happy it got the official badge.
If you have not tried it yet, now is the perfect time π

First #screenshotsaturday after Kinsfolk has been released, so I will just share a review of the game instead.
Lovely to see so many people mention how it got them thinking of their own parents and their own childhood π

Well how about that, 18 reviews and positive 4 days after Kinsfolk release!
Talking to folks that played and reading reviews on how much the story meant for new fathers or folks that had recently a parent pass away really hit me more than I expected π
Kinsfolk is a short, heartfelt narrative journey about family, memory, and fatherhood, told through exploration and reflective moments.

"... I really enjoyed the game. I did not expect it to hit me as much as it did :') The change of perspective in the Deer Story completely caught me off guard.
Wishing you all the best, I'm hoping a lot more people will try it out :)."
Love hearing these π₯Ή
Me at the end of this game. Trying to be a professional but your eyeballs just decide its time to rain. Such an amazing game, such a powerful way to invoke feelings in under an hour of storytelling.
Everyone please play the game (ββΏββΏ)

I finally had some time to relax after the Kinsfolk launch day and watch streams of people playing it.
@ninameep.bsky.social 's playthrough was exactly how I had hoped people would feel when they get to experience the ending, thank you for sharing that, it means way more than I can put into words π

One of the most proud moments in early Kinsfolk development was figuring out good locomotion for the main character.
I mean just look at that feet placement matching the mesh π₯Ή

I started making this game as a story about a father and his child⦠and during development I became a dad myself.
It changed everything I put into it.

After creating so many colorful environments for the game, I couldn't resist adding at least one jumping puzzle.

The farm vignette was one of my favorite to create, most of Kinsfolk is pretty serious, so this was a refreshing change of pace.
