Space Warlord Baby Trading Simulator from @strangescaffold.bsky.social is a game about buying, selling & shorting stock in... babies.
Basically, it's the most sane & ethical capitalism simulator you could hope to play.

Hey, I playtested this! Definitely one to watch if you're a fan of incrementals like Nodebuster or Digseum.
Go try out the demo!

This week we took a look at Roots Devour — a game with a unique premise and fun core mechanics, but one arguably fundamental flaw.

🚨TR-49🚨
To begin at the beginning... TR-49 is a game about words, and stories, and the power they have. Yet words fail me now. Pride. Gratitude. Delight. Thank you @indieloupe.com, @pcgamer.com for your kindnesses. Thank you, reader, for playing. My heart is full.

'Smashed it' is accurate!
Everyone at inkle deserves props for their excellent work on TR-49 (go play it, it's out now!), but these three really made the experience something special.
Looking forward to seeing what they do next. Put them in your games!

The cast:
👩 @rmcloughlin.bsky.social
👨 @paulwarren.bsky.social
🔨 @pabosher.com
The script is highly non-linear, so the actors had to jump through hoops to make it work. They smashed it.

Trying (and probably failing) to word this in a non-grovelling way...
This video is the most effort I've put into anything for IndieLoupe, but, for whatever reason, is doing pretty terrible numbers in terms of impressions & views.
...so, I'd really appreciate any love you can give it. Thanks!

I keep thinking I'll be posting soon with some notable updates to share, but then I run out of time for updates because I'm busy writing puzzles. 😅 Soon!
In the meantime, if you haven't tried The Daily Spell yet, give it a shot! I'm really surprised and happy about the response to it so far. 💜

For @thinkygames.com's #ThinkyCon jam, I made The Daily Spell, a daily puzzle with an ongoing narrative. ✨
My goal was to combine satisfying word puzzling with a story you'll be excited to see unfold. Try it and let me know what you think!
