Our first game "Character Limit" is 12 letters of constantly-refilling #WordGame frustration. It was almost called "Linguistic Panic Simulator 2026" at one point.
Wishlist it on Steam (Or wait for iOS)!
(Also, Welsh?! Sure!)

Give this man a coconut! Power move!
Kenney Shape is now FREE! (and it'll remain free, forever) ✨
Previously a paid tool, I'm releasing it as a gift to the community. Today's update will be the final one, with no further updates planned. That way I can focus on new software & projects!

Patch 1.02 is up for #CharacterLimit on Steam now.
It fixes an achievement issue, makes selected letter tiles more easily spotted regardless of colour, and zen is more... zen.....
It's live now!

Pro tip: If you're working on a patch for an #indiegame like #CharacterLimit, and it's on PC and Mac, remember to pay your Apple Developer Account membership fee. Oops....

After Malcolm concluded his working week(?) on the iPhone launch stuff, he's worked on the next patch for #CharacterLimit. It includes a missing achievement fix, tile size changes when selected, and a Zen mode that's more.... Zen.....
Zeeeeeen?

Hi, this is @HotelOutlaw and one of our next in-development projects.
Yes, it's a boat. On water.
Boat: A temporary @kenney_nl asset until the hero model gets made.
Water: Gerstner waves and ibuprofen.

"When's the next video?" We hear you cry. Yes, we know, we're late. Malcolm's supposed to be doing it. Expect it either late tonight or tomorrow.

[Looks at @S4C to bother them about our word game that does a bunch of Welsh stuff too, but sees they're a bit busy with the whole Eisteddfod thing.]

Crumbs! Our first press release for #CharacterLimit is on Games Press! For Malcolm, it's a full-circle moment and a bit surreal...
