And so we lived Nat's dream at the @baftagames.bsky.social @bafta.org ! To everyone that made this even a possible reality, our huge THANK YOU. ❤️🫶
This wouldn't be even a thought without everyone's love and support! Fingers crossed for a future where we can finally take the prize home! 🤞😏

It was an incredible honor to see Is This Seat Taken? represented at the BAFTA award ceremony alongside games like Donkey Kong Bananza, Mario Kart World, and the winner, LEGO Party! 🔊 Audio on to hear us cheering like it was a high school talent show.
Sergi Pérez y Ausiàs Dalmau llevan vendidas más de 740.000 copias de su primer videojuego, 'Is this Seat Taken?', y este viernes compiten contra Nintendo y LEGO por el BAFTA al mejor título familiar de 2025.
Lo consigan o no, ya han ganado. 👇

Hey #PortfolioDay 👋
I'm Doot, an indie #gamedev working on small cute games with @blibloop.bsky.social 🪷
It's #PortfolioDay! Hi I'm Doriane, an indie dev/game artist 🌻
I make art for games and illustrations 🌱
3 years ago, I quit my job and started a new life as an indie dev, thinking I would need to find another job after my savings run out. 3 years later, the little games we made sold more than 500k copies combined. I don't need to find a job anymore! THANK YOU 💌

If you're an indie dev and feel weird about having to market your game and ask/prompt for reviews I ask you to have a mere fraction of the persistence of the dental clinic that has sent me three texts asking me to leave them a review since they pulled a wisdom tooth out three hours ago
