While building your case in All Will Rise, it’s good to know where you stand with the people around you. We’ve added character biographies and relationship statuses, helping you keep track of the people of Muziris.

Accidentally left the flower bloom mechanic on while testing the winter levels in my game… but they are kinda pretty!
What do you think? Winter flowers: Yay or nay? ❄️

Finally, we have a first super early build! The gameplay still needs a lot of work, but I'm proud of what we're doing with @blibloop.bsky.social 🌻
Next step: ask friends to try it, get feedback, and use that to move toward a good game!

Really love the Nature Futures Framework. We're not only using it in All Will Rise but also in game design courses and the results are SO LUSH 🌱🌿🌾
We're inspired by the work by @ipbes.net on Nature Futures. Do people see nature as something that serves society? Does nature deserve space and respect purely for and in itself? Or is nature entangled as culture? By @laurap18.bsky.social, @machtelds.bsky.social and others #nature #IndieGames

Looked at the Cloud Gardens project for reference..
Saw I have one Game component that links to (mostly) everything in the game.
CUTE, THAT'S IT?!!? THAT'S THE ENTIRE GAME!?

Hi #PitchYaGame 👋
I’m making a woodland sandbox game that grows and changes with the seasons. It’s all about creating small but beautiful dioramas to celebrate nature :)
For every copy sold, we plant a real tree! 🌲

Was not expecting that when I sent this message to Future Friends (was also not expecting to work on it for longer than 6 weeks so I guess I've got bad expectation skills):
