I made a lil' cozy narrative exploration game in #bitsy. It's about cryostasis & the end of the world.

Playtesting & tweaking right now, it'll go live later this week ❄️

Just finished reading an article about making small games that really resonated with me. I like the idea that not each game has to be huge and strive to be a big viral success. Just making a piece of art that is self contained, fulfilling and doesn't overstay its welcome can be enough.
I think that's one of the reasons why I enjoy game jams so much, paired with the shared excitement and seeing other people's takes on a theme.

@mcc I love Stuffed Wombat's games! His dedication to making #SmallGames is inspiring and I'm blown away by how great these games turn out to be. Gutwhale, ORD, qomp, Always Down, etc. http://stuffedwomb.at/games

Here's his "Small Games Manifesto" http://stuffedwomb.at/the_small_game

And a great interview he did with @eggplantshow https://eggplant.show/57-small-games-with-stuffed-wombat

That interview was recorded before Producer 2021, so it's spoiler free.
