Treasure hunting at Toji Antique Market in Kyoto
Awaysis - this has such a unique feel and I love it. The combat is all its own (complimentary) but what I found to be the secret star of the show is the slide ability - you can get around fast once you get used to it. I also _love_ the character designs. @17-bit.bsky.social is locked in here
Steam Next Fest is still going strong, and so is response to our new approach to physics in action games!! Try out Awaysis NOW!! store.steampowered.com/app/3334760/...
17-Bit's Jake Kazdal stops by to talk Zelda anniversary memories, his upcoming game Awaysis, Virtual Boy do's and don'ts, and all the big news out of Microsoft and PlayStation. 8-4.jp/podcasts/202...

Massive CONGRATULATIONS to our brothers and sisters at @84play.bsky.social for 20 YEARS of the finest storytelling videogamery! These coins are SO COOOOL!!
Shibuya may be the home of the scramble and Hachiko, but @jkooza.bsky.social has some other feelings towards his old stomping ground.

I want to start a petition that we release a “COLIN MODE”. It’s kinda like a director’s cut, but cooler
Whenever our @colinwilliamson.bsky.social submits work-in-progress cutscenes, he voices them to make adding audio easier. Personally, I think we should ship these as is! 😸 Guest starring Big Matsu, who badly wanted his dinner.

Its live! Go check out Awaysis! 🤩
A physics-based dungeon brawler with momentum based combat and 1-4 player co-op? It's true!
From the fine folks at @17-bit.bsky.social , AWAYSIS slides onto your screens in 2026. It also features a soundtrack by the legendary Hip Tanaka (Metroid, EarthBound).

Year: 2015

Thanks to the folks over at @sifterhq.bsky.social for taking the time to speak with us at TGS this year. We have spent the last few years making a tight, reactive, physics game that is unlike anything else you have played. We can't wait to get it into your hands.
#indiedev #gamedev
We agree! AWAYSIS was largely inspired by 4 Swords!! It’s too fun!
We are so stoked to announce that we are part of Day of the Devs - The Game Awards Digital Showcase next month.
Honored, and ready to show you all what we have been cooking over here 🧑🍳
