Minimalist logic game @cipherzerogame.com from Ben Cole Wu and @zapdot.com is fantastic! Simple on the surface but ultimately quite complex. 9/10
Thank you @thinkygames.com for helping me discover this gem!

My review on @thegeeklygrind.bsky.social --
A screenshot from CIPHER ZERO done in minimal style, a varied color palette, and layered in textures. Inside a train, a booth's table is littered with random objects, such as a lava lamp, a camera with film next to it, an open CD players, an old school monitor with blue text. In the background, out the window, the background of a city and its pier can be seen.
"Were we overly-ambitious? For sure. [...] We wanted our soundtrack to be dynamic in a unique way... and I think we succeeded."
Join Ian in how he wove the sounds of CIPHER ZERO into its dynamic score.

A table with several BGW pins, name tags, and a poster that says "this event is brought to you by Boston Game Dev!"
A photo from Made in MA. Manny Mallea is holding a frog plushie from the game Frogmageddon in front of a mounted camera. Its big frog face appears on the large screen behind Manny.
The Boston Indies Demo Night. A crowd of game devs socializing and playing demos outdoors in the evening.
Our Make Games Make Friends event. A crowd gathered indoors is chatting and ordering drinks.
That's a wrap on the very first Boston Gamedev Week! We were totally blown away by how many people showed up to every single event, wore our pins and embraced BGW enthusiastically. Thank you to everyone who took this leap with us, and to all of our incredible organizers. Let's do this again!
