π Hey space cowfolks, we're back! πΈ
After a bit of a hiatus, we're sharing new Bitter Silver art & news leading up to launch later this year.
Here's a brand new screenshot featuring a harbor side locale you'll be tracking down a bounty to.
Amazing work by our BG artist Isabella Clapp as always.

Me and @rothiotome.bsky.social and the whole amazing dev team that worked with us put our love into this and we can't wait for people to play it! β€οΈ
Our hearts go out to everyone at Bluepoint Games affected by this shocking closure.
Are we going to have an industry in ten years that isn't just gen AI slop, AAA games rushed out too early & indies made by developers working insanely unreasonable hours in order to survive?
Support @meghna.bsky.social and their whole team making a brilliant indie game!
Back ALL WILL RISE on Kickstarter and play the demo on Steam!

Our cute robot cat named Hobbes from our game, Bitter Silver, for you all in these troubling times.
Happy #Caturday!
Gen-AI continues to be an honest-to-God affront to art and artists.
Everything said about them being plagarism machines since 2021 is correct and will always be correct.
Fuck this.
Bitter Silver is an upcoming Cowboy Bebop-inspired visual novel where you track down bounties with your misfit crew to find answers about a curse plaguing your life! π
Unabashedly queer, multiple endings AND a cute cat! πΈ

It's really easy, if you're a game dev, to actually NOT invite terrible people to preview and help you market your game.
Especially when you're putting out a new game no one has heard of and you're building an identity as a studio and trying to connect with your audience.
Small, free act you can do to bring some good in this world: add positive reviews to ALL you Steam games, especially the small indies. You don't need to write anything smart, just "game good" is enough. Every positive steam review tips the algorithm and helps your fav artists get more sales
Teaser: Plus One is launching a line of adult games to support creators who are getting deplatformed/don't have a place to put their sexy shit.
Currently, we are calling it Plus One XXXP.
If you pitch us a game for this we have one specific ask:
BRING YOUR HORNY SHIT FORWARD!
#TextNotSubtext
Abolish ICE. Stop their funding. Call your reps until their ears bleed. Protest. Call for a general strike. Vote at the ballot box. Record everything, take them to court, and off to prison. And most of all, remember the dead. Thirty plus people perished in ICEβs hands over the last year.
today is Saturday so you'll be getting a lot of answering machines until Monday. leave a message regardless. fill up their inboxes (they can be filled!) AND email AND @ your reps on social media if they use them. don't let them have a quiet weekend.

Remember how appalled we all were in 2022 when Russia completely unprovoked attacked Ukraine? That is what weβre doing tonight with Venezuela. We are the bad guys here. Everyone who supports this is supporting unprovoked murder. Fuck every last one of them
I will hate these people for the rest of my life.

Happy New Year! We're so excited to share Bitter Silver with you all in 2026, a labor of blood, sweat, and pixels for the whole team, backed by folks on Kickstarter who believed in our vision of a Cowboy Bebop love letter & more.
See you soon, space cowfolks.
You're gonna carry that weight.
We canβt afford a $1M trailer slot π
But reposts on Bluesky cost $0 - and they really help tiny teams like ours β€οΈ
If cozy medieval creativity is your thing, hereβs our Scriptorium trailer!
Bitter Silver will proudly have a declaration saying "This game was made by hardworking humans, not AI."

Whatever horrors you may find in these dark spaces, have heart and see them through.
There are no premature endings. There are no wrong decisions.
There are only fresh perspectives and new beginnings.
This is a love story.
SLAY THE PRINCESS is 40% off on Steam, the cheapest it's even been.
It's harder and harder to run a crowdfunding project as an independent creator.
The number of new pledges has slowed to a halt for the past few days. π₯²
Please help share the project! π
No Players Online - the full version of the viral abandoned online FPS horror game - is back on Steam. π
The game was falsely removed weeks ago, just after launching, which has severely impacted the studio's survivability.
Please spread the word, and support it! β€οΈ
