I don’t think words can express how proud I am of how far we’ve come with this little game. There’s still a long road ahead, but with every step we take the love and support we receive grows. I can’t wait for the day we get Chords out on cartridge and on Steam. ❤️

A follow up to yesterday's theme of ridiculous levels of detail in Chords. I figured not only did the doorbell need animation but the aircon too... #SegaGenesis #MegaDrive #IndieDev #GameDev

🚨 Alert! In the latest installment of Chords our hero Akio leaves the cooker on... He doesn't really but if you’re into Visual Novels with Snatcher-style tension and 16-bit mystery then you might like what we're cooking! #IndieDev #SegaGenesis #SGDK

Out of pure curiosity, I wondered: Could my engine handle a Snatcher port if I ever felt like doing one?
Turns out… YES, it absolutely could. 👀
