Thanks man, you make amazing things that are easy to talk about!!
@innocentgoblin.bsky.social's Standing Ovation SRD is responsible for me taking the plunge. @cuchi.bsky.social's enthusiasm, freedom, and creativity have been inspiring. @boxen.bsky.social @paperwizards.bsky.social @cubecookie.bsky.social @200proofgames.bsky.social give great feedback.

video game about depression but instead of being like a fast paced hyperdifficult platformer or a horror metaphor or whatever it's just you trying to drag your character out of bed and force them to do basic tasks.

It's really cool to hear @maddyisabstract.bsky.social play Pirouette by @innocentgoblin.bsky.social. I can only hope that the more people find out about this game the more games it will inspire with its system.
If you enjoyed listening to the amazing @maddyisabstract.bsky.social play my ballet horror game Pirouette, then you can come buy your very own physical copy from me at Dragonmeet!
There may also be a Pirouette based competition 👀🩰

I just received 4 whole pages of incredible, thorough notes from @boxen.bsky.social and I'm excited to go back to the document and make tweaks.
If you've checked out the demo or given it a playthough, let me know what you think!
