You can't make an origin story without breaking a few Tiny Timmys.

A very efficient HR visit at The Bureau of Fantastical & Arcane Affairs. #indiegame #SFX

OFFICIAL: We have undergone a zoning change from 'game' to 'semi-open world game.' #indiegame #indiedev #gamedev #openworld #BFAA

To Mandrake or Mandon’t, that is the question.

We've gotten a few questions about what it actually means to play as an Inspector vs a Hero in BFAA, so here's a little breakdown!

I would die for Ted.

The Bureau has received multiple reports of egg-related disturbances across the realm. We are looking into it. Happy Easter! 🐣

Are you prepared for the Hero’s arrival? 👀 #indiedev #crashoutcore #gamedev

Every game needs a strong hook.

Sound effects are cool! Like this medieval building sound effect! #SFX #GameDev #IndieGame

We’re really proud of the animation team, so here’s Elliot, our lead animator, giving a quick look at our animation process. Let us know if you’d like to hear more behind-the-scenes insights from other parts of our team!

A little late to the New Year, but we wanted to say thanks. We’re really proud of what the team pulled off last year and excited for what’s coming next. Happy 2026! Demo planned for the first half of the year. #indiedev #gamedev

A little late to the punch, but here’s IGN talking about our game after our last showcase, it’s always cool to see stuff like this :)

Apropos of absolutely nothing: a collection of recent concepts from our human artists!

More #voiceover #casting is going on over @hipflask.games ! We're adding several roles to our game, which is over 30k Wishlists on Steam and growing strong! This is an #opencastingcall so feel free to share it around! Deadline is October 10. drive.google.com/file/d/1nkK4...

Things have been slow on our marketing front, but I think this next trailer is really something fun, can't wait to show it to y'all.

Because our game is relatively large in terms of content, we use a good number of assets. Here's a peek at how we are adjusting those to better fit our world :)

Do you like cute sentient mushrooms? Of course you do. Here's some cute sentient mushroom concepts by our artist: @erinmchughart.bsky.social

Small bit of early grey-boxing today

6/23-29/25- more cutscene illustrations for @hipflask.games 's Bureau of Fantastic and Arcane Affairs

Hi! Idk what happened, but we’ve had a bunch of new followers lately soooo welcome, friends! 👋 We’re making a game about being a bureaucrat in a fantasy world. Hopefully, that sounds groovy to you. And uh, if not, then hopefully you'll stick around for our cool game dev updates and/or sharp wit.

I present to you a very early WIP of our menu and of course a lil video showcasing the logic behind it.
