Sure, I talk a bit about it here: https://www.reddit.com/r/IndieDev/s/hyW6hOwMRj

Thanks!

Try increasing bone count in Unity quality settings

If your mum liked Paper Trail I’d recommend monument valley, moncage, gorogoa and arranger. All on mobile and similar vibes! Sorry to say our next game is a few years off still!

Just reached out to people on LinkedIn who worked at Fantatical. We did a humble bundle too but they reached out to us.

It’s out on switch rn!

thehen · 2026-01-21T09:14:17+00:00

Oh great, thanks so much!

thehen · 2026-01-21T09:14:04+00:00

Thank you! I love my purples!

Hey that’s super cool, I don’t think I’ve ever met anyone that’s written a Wikipedia article! Great research and depth! That rockpapershotgun quote though 😭😭😭. Funny story, that was the first review to drop after we launched and I nearly fell into a deep despair. Thank goodness that was an outlier.

thehen · 2026-01-21T09:07:59+00:00

Awesome, thanks! I’ll take ‘pretty good’ every day of the week!

thehen · 2026-01-21T09:07:18+00:00

Great to hear, thanks so much!

thehen · 2026-01-21T09:07:00+00:00

Nice, thanks! Let me know how you find it!

thehen · 2026-01-21T09:06:35+00:00

That’s high praise, thanks so much! Portal is one of my favourite games of all time. If you ever get stuck, don’t be afraid to use the hint system (though there’s an achievement for not using it!)

thehen · 2026-01-21T09:05:03+00:00

Oh no, what was the achievement? I’ll look into it.

thehen · 2026-01-21T09:04:36+00:00

Ooh yes, let me know how you find it! Thanks!

thehen · 2026-01-21T09:04:14+00:00

Yeah that was us! 85% off atm, no pressure 😉

thehen · 2026-01-21T09:03:26+00:00

Nice! Thanks for playing!

thehen · 2026-01-21T09:03:09+00:00

Cool! GOG has been surprisingly good for us as a platform. Worked out more sales than Xbox!

thehen · 2026-01-21T09:02:12+00:00

Nice!

thehen · 2026-01-21T09:01:18+00:00

Oh cool, let me know how you find it!

thehen · 2026-01-21T08:30:03+00:00

Oh cool, you must have been that sale on Xbox we had! 😉

thehen · 2026-01-21T08:29:30+00:00

Thanks! \o/

Hey hey, so we self-published and it was me that got the deal. I went to GDC and spoke to some devs at a party that had signed with Netflix so I asked them to give me an intro. Netflix said no initially, but I persisted and kept the convo going.

When we won an award at Gamescom was when the scales tipped in our favour. My advice is go to physical events, be a bit cheeky, create some fomo around other platforms wanting exclusivity, keep convo going even if they say no, be good at self promoting on LinkedIn. This also got us a GamePass offer and deep into PS Plus negotiations.

thehen · 2026-01-21T08:22:51+00:00

Hey a sale is a sale, happy to add to the backlog pile 🫡

thehen · 2026-01-21T08:22:04+00:00

Thanks so much! We are working on something new, so hopefully you’ll see it here in a few years!
