And an icon for a folksy game about weather superstition that stars a rooster? A weathervane, of course!

Captain Heathcliff has shiny black hair and a thin mustache and goatee. His baseball-style t-shirt is cut open at the neckline, revealing a bit of his chest. He wears glasses. His hand is on his hip. The text reads "1 day until launch. Battle Suit Aces. October 7th, 2025."

Okay yes, Raincaster’s star is a rooster, and Wooden Nickel had pretty good chickens too, but we’ll never ever top our Burly Men at Sea chickens.

Workspace in which we’re making a game about Ozark mystery and magic.

Foggy Ozark woods, with high probability of lurking cryptids.

Brain&Brain @brainandbrain.bsky.social · Aug 26

One more, because raccoons are also great, even though this one stole all our sumac berries.

Brain&Brain @brainandbrain.bsky.social · Aug 26

This magic is all happening maybe fifty yards behind our house, because the woods were left intact. We've been working hard to rehabilitate it from invasives and our tornado damage last spring.

We set up a trail cam along a game trail behind our house a few months ago, and it's like Christmas every time we check it.

For its 10th anniversary, Prune is making the leap from mobile to PC. How many of you remember this quiet, meditative experience from 2015? "A puzzle game about cultivating growth and the joy of letting go."
