Can you make a cozy strategy game? CHLOROLINK is a 4X game without the 'exploit and exterminate' of the genre. @laywelin.bsky.social on the team's design philosophy. INTERVIEW www.sifter.com.au/post/can-you... #cozygames #strategygames

ChloroLink released exactly one month ago... while there might be some surprises related to it, it's time to move to another project and find a way to pay bills ✨ BUT FIRST let's update the jam toolbox to include all the new tiny tools and scripts! Love that part 💖 #gamedev #indiedev

We made a bundle on Steam to celebrate their release!! It's lovely to collaborate with Low Flame Studio and Milkshake Games, wishing them an awesome release week 💖 Go discover all the pretty fishes! 🐠🪼 #indiegames #indiedev #cozygame
