Make it a Triple Games

I am showing off mostly the #pets from #AThousandBees. It's one of the most fun things in making the level #backgrounds. Do you want to see other cutouts instead?

And almost done too! It's so exciting to get my first full game out there!

The banner for The Power of Pride Bundle 2026. It depicts a black cat taking a nap amongst an assorted pile of objects associated with projects that may be submitted into the bundle, including a pink game controller, a pencil and paper, a musical note, a 6-sided die, a book, and a black power fist. A rainbow sits behind the logo and cat.

Calling all queer creators on itchio! The #PowerOfPride2026 Bundle is now open for submissions!

Digital games, physical games, books, zines, comics, assets & tools— we're accepting them all! NSFW OK! We want to work with you to share your projects.

And a tags post following this #GeniusLoci location. In my #worldbuilding, I try to alternate between nice and terrible places. This is... probably a terrible one, I am not so sure really.

Do you focus on adventure-worthy places, or something else?

The Broken Jaw Rocks Deep in the yellow forest lie the Broken Jaw Rocks. They are a large, roughly circularly arranged mass of sharply jagged rocks, in a swamp whose permanent mist enhances the mysterious atmosphere, making the entire region unusually inhospitable for the yellow forest. Many researchers tried to learn what might be inside the rocks, but none have succeeded so far - although some claim it, and others have gone insane, building up a legend of the rocks possibly being cursed, or inhabited by unspeakable things.

Glad you think so! I am excited about it. Just managed to get the bee count to exactly one thousand!

I love so much about this game - the adorable neo-80ies witch art style, what I got about the narrative and worldbuilding in the demo, dialogs, all of it. It shows that that you poured a lot of effort into it, I am excited for the full game!

I thought I could leave the #hiddenobjects in, but so many comments wanted them gone, that there is at least the option for that now. And use the system cursor.

The obvious answer to this is "Just... bear." - "This city is weird."

Thanks! When I introduced animal lords it became clear that all animals are full of personality and all have their own cultures.

Monster, creature, character? Burrmo definitely have a lot of personality.

Burrmo The burrmo are large predators of the Great Forest in Gdera. They are about three meters long, with a plushy tail, long head, and dirty-looking greenish fur. Burrmo are man-eaters - literally, in a group of people, they'll go for the humans first. Otherwise they hunt appropriately large quarry. The burrmos' ferocity is infamous, and being allowed to wear any part of them is an honour; most wanted are the thick fur and hide, claws, and teeth.

Thanks so much! I am happy you liked it. The first is, obviously, one of the less challenging levels with fairly "findable" bees ;) When I recently set up the largest level I noticed I have become better at hiding them!
