Good idea! So far we have...

"You might get sued. But okay."
"You look different from the pictures."
"Don't tell their lawyers!"
"That sounds familiar."

We'll add your idea!

Funny you say that!

You can name the band in the game and we put in some easter eggs to detect certain combinations. If you try Def Leppard, Iron Maiden, Judas Priest, Europe, Lion, or Alice Cooper you get something like this. 🤘

Last #TurnBasedThursday we were in the fun place to host the weekly roundup thread of other great turn-based strategy games made by our fellow devs. (There were so many cool ones!) 🥰

To close off our hosting week we'd like to highlight five #indiegames that caught our eye. 📣

⬇⬇ THREAD ⬇⬇

<12 hours to go! 😀

Can't wait for you all to see the Steam sale page; we've put a ton of effort into curation to make it fun to discover new games.

Join the Turn-Based Games Discord (discord.gg/zfmrtb2FkQ) too! Great spot to ask for recommendations, share discoveries, find people for multiplayer…

Friends, chumps, wizards-of-ill-repute: today we launched our DEMO for Sparrow Warfare!

If you are into deckbuilders and somehow not already 110% consumed with Slay The Spire 2, give us a whirl over the weekend!

Congratulations! It's next on my list to try.

Those mechs look very grounded and the way they moved was viscerally compelling. Good stuff!

Those laser blasts from the boss looked super painful. Well done with the VFX!

Excellent rendering! He's the game's heartthrob for a reason.
