Look, I'm not saying the game we'll give you for signing up to our mailing list at biscuitfactorygames.com is *good*
But it is *stupid* and *short.*

Also so far we have a 100% success rate making players at least smirk while blowing a little air out of their noses.

Its called Hidden Honks

This fella @ivanfisher-owen.bsky.social has just released a game of unreasonable artistic ambition. A point and click adventure made using stop motion and HAND CARVED WOODEN PIECES.
Only a madman would try such a thing.

Its called Éalú. Give it a look.

We made use of them for @biscuitfactorygames.com 's first title - Tree Kingdoms!

They were a godsend for a small team like us making a game in 7 months

Look, if you're a "deals in euro" sort of person, this means you can grab my game for a fiver.

If you're GBP sorta person, even less than that.

Some quality game for less than the price of a pint.

This sort of work was also a big chunk of my PhD research around how theatre folks were interrogating what its like to play a game. Seems a lifetime ago now...

Dan | Buy Tree Kingdoms on Steam now! @danyoutohell.bsky.social · 18d

I did indeed! Live Point and Click theatre. Full "on demand" set changes (go into the next room!) and multiple storylines.
It was called Fused and was performed in the Dublin Fringe in 2013.
I was inspired by an earlier show called "BrainExplode" performed in NY Brick Theatre in 2011

When's the last time we had a new scifi movie with a solid 80s style opening scroll explaining the whole world building?
You know the whole
"The Year is 20XX, world resources are gone and everyone is at war, [this thing] is now a thing and everything is terrible"
Etc etc
Any recent takes on that?

Look that up. Amazing. Le Fou bring that up, we gotta check that out.

That makes so much sense. You know I noticed in the 4-Dozen egg diet my T count really shot up, you can check it out on our website. Its true"
