Watchword is TWELVE BUCKS right now and it's extremely worth it. If you're frustrated from dying in Silksong repeatedly, this is a game that's surprisingly relaxing for how challenging it is.

I will shout obsidians praises till the day I die! Between the kanban plugin and the new bases update idk why I'd ever use anything else for personal gamedev stuff

So sweet I love it! When you add texture like that is it one texture for the whole piece or is it each "color" gets its own overlay or something I can't tell

🥁🥁🥁 Watchword has a release date!

As much as I'd love to delay my game for #silksong like other cool indie games, my irl son is due to be born in a few weeks and I had a goal to release this game before that 😅

Any wishlists & shares are greatly appreciated ❤️

It turned out way good, well done! I've wanted to see stained glass in Godot for a while, but I don't think I would have been able to pull this off 😅

Optimizing code for performance is such a weird thing... So many of my systems are pretty easy to make more efficient just by putting some actual thought and design behind them rather than just rapidfire prototyping without a plan.

Chayse | Watchword OUT NOW!! @bigquailgames.com · Aug 25

Every so often I think, "I should make a game about birding" only to remember that the pure joy and thrill of birdwatching comes from doing it for realsies in beautiful nature with people I love and if I made a game I'd probably hate birds by the end..

..but sometimes it's hot outside, ya know? 🐦🦢🦅

My brain might be too smooth for this feature but you gotta give the people what they want!

Glitch pieces coming soon to a Watchword near you! Use them to create interesting intersections of words, they count as one letter vertically and another horizontally!

We saw a lot of great demos today!

Be sure to check out:
Watchword (from @bigquailgames.com);
Dicealot (from Goodviewgames and @yogscast.games);
and A La Card (from @shookloose.bsky.social)!

I'm sure all three will consume my life once they're out 😅

I'll try to check out more demos this week!
