my fav pre-conference ritual is having @brownmoney.bsky.social dye my hair 🌌

Indrani is wearing a plaid shirt, with their hair down. Their hair is wavy and a mix of black, blue, purple, and pink strands.

Ohh! So even though Venba has very stylized shapes, our artist doesn't use vector art/illustrator. Everything is just done in Photoshop.

So this was just a simple use of the blur tool!

Realizing that these slick 2D Animated trailers for games that have gameplay that looks completely different is us inventing NES box art again

All of Hades 2's bosses and encounters are just getting spoiled by YouTube video titles that are recommended to me and its very annoying

1/5: Venba from @visaigames is a heartfelt game about an Indian family who moves to Canada in the 1980s. It weaves food, memory, and family bonds through traditional recipes that tell emotional stories.
