Somehow my screen broke when we arrived at home after the Otakuthon...
You fight well my friend 😇

But hey! Now I have a cool free CRT effect 🤣

Had a lovely time at Otakuthon MTL this weekend! 🌿✨

Lots of folks played Brickotori, shared feedback, and even learn the controls without help! 💛

We also met amazing people and fellow indie devs!

Btw, all your creations will appear here! I just put the loading state

One thing a lot of players asked was to see through the bricks when building. And here we are!

The statement may seem simple, but it isn't an easy task. Oh boy, so many questions and problems to solve... check them out and let me know your thoughts!

Added this little feature yesterday, the dotted lines origin now follows the brick at all times. It adds a bit of fun to the movement 😁

I just implemented auto-snapping, and falling-bricks!

Now we will automatically go up when placing a brick, and we can also place bricks in the air! They will quickly fall to a valid position :3

The Comiccon was great! A lot of people tried the game and we got lots of feedback to improve it💪

It was our first time going out to show a game to the public, so we were very nervous 😳😳 But everything went well!

Two women are playing Brickotori together in local co-op at the Comiccon game event. They're seated at a booth, each with a cute custom controller, quietly focused on building a cozy brick scene on screen. One wears headphones, and both are surrounded by a warm, inviting atmosphere. The monitor shows a cheerful fireplace scene with colorful bricks and a smiling character structure built with bricks.

A player with pink-dyed hair is peacefully playing Brickotori at Comiccon. The screen shows a cozy desk map with a colorful build in progress, complete with soft lighting and playful bricks. The setup includes pastel gamepads, a fluffy cloud wrist rest, and a sign for Anawim Studios. Everything feels calm, creative, and full of personality.

Three players enjoy Brickotori in local co-op at Comiccon. The screen is split into 3 sections, each showing a different part of the shared building zone. Surrounded by cheerful controllers and Bricko-themed decorations, the players quietly focus on their collaborative creation in a relaxed, friendly space.
