benefits of the studio having the domain 7thbe.at:
- short, concise

downsides
- all company emails will receive endless spam from random Austrian companies ๐Ÿ˜ฉ

Nintendo Switch Parental Controls โ€“ GameChat
YouTube video by Nintendo of America Nintendo Switch Parental Controls โ€“ GameChat

I'm obsessed with this.

In this video, where they animated a set of FICTIONAL webcams using GameChat, they animated the characters at a dropped framerate ON PURPOSE to mimic that it will have low framerate in practice???

oh yeah that switch 2 tech demo game... I kinda like that? but it's not free?? I just wish they did something closer to Aperture Desk Job but I love learning about hardware through interactive entertainment

at first i was like "oh wow, they found a way to have a bundled game with the Switch 2, just like old times!" because well, flagship games are so expensive to develop nowadays, so bundling a small game like this for free was a good idea. But then I saw it was paid and caught me by surprise haha

Screenshot of the main menu screen from A Dance of Fire and Ice on Steam. In addition to the usual choices like "Level Editor" and "Calibration", there is now a new tile in the lower right corner. The tile has the inscription of a crab wearing a jester hat, with white crab particles flowing out of it.

๐Ÿฆ€ It looks like something crawled into our game...

When the calendar flips to April 1st in your timezone, you'll see a new tile waiting for you in the main menu. If you don't want to wait until April 1st, you can type in the code "firestix" to enable it.

Have fun with our very normal game ๐Ÿ™‚

Since we primarily work on Rhythm Doctor and A Dance of Fire and Ice, most things we have to post will probably be on @rd.7thbe.at and @adofai.7thbe.at

That said...did you know that the icons on the bottom of our official site lead to other small games we've made?
