Nice news article about EARTH MUST DIE's imminent release (only 10 days now!) and how a strong VA cast can give a game a bump these days. (Although of course the writer is interested in it regardless thanks to Size Five's pedigree, because he is a very smart person!)

Been a while since I had so much fun translating a game... The Drifter isn't just another point'n'click, it's an *adult* p'n'c (it's a p'n'c for adults AND it's what p'n'cs become when they grow up). It's dark, it's a masterpiece, and I'm forever thankful for having had the privilege to work on it.😌
The Drifter v1.1 update is live! And 20% off for the Steam Detective Fest!
The team at @thewarlocs.bsky.social added Spanish, French and Italian loc, and I've added support for fan translations too, so you can play in like... pirate-speak if ye be wantin'! ☠️☠️☠️ store.steampowered.com/news/app/117...

A big thank you to all those who have already tried Agents of Groove! If you haven't yet, did you know that the game offers many settings to tailor the gameplay experience? Here's our previous thread on accessibility features we launched with:
#gamedev #indiedev #playdate #AgentsOfGroove
#gamedev #indiedev #playdate #AgentsOfGroove
We believe #accessibility to be important to allow people to enjoy videogames. Rhythm games and the @play.date controls can present unique challenges, so we designed #AgentsOfGroove to be fairly relaxed, and implemented features to tailor the experience further 🧵
