I just played a normal round of my own game and I'm nowadays only the 15th best player in the world it seems. And we're only in playtest and that only for a week.

We're up on nextupgames.com and it would be nice if you'd 💛 us there. It seems to be a ProductHunt-like thing for games.

We're one of the 5 featured games here today, and every vote helps boost our visibility! Thank you kindly for your clicking generosity 🙏

14 hours in and this morning finally managed to claim top spot on Sparrow Warfare. Screenshotting for posterity because I'm normally rubbish at roguelikes (and until I'm knocked off my feathery pedestal).

What a super playtest this is 🐦

It's the first #TurnBasedThursday that we can participate in and here's our little turn-based contribution, Sparrow Warfare, a bird-themed deck-builder: store.steampowered.com/app/3473440/...

Thanks to our many playtest players we could already put together an update. If you head to Steam you can play a brand new version of Sparrow Warfare with the following changes: store.steampowered.com/news/app/397...

Watch us launch the game live in 5 minutes on Steam! store.steampowered.com/app/3473440/...

Quite happy with how some of the backgrounds in our game have come together. All mountains are actual mountains I photographed in Yangshuo and traced by hand. This rainforest I've only been to virtually though.

It's realisations like this that made us chose our company name.

Let's rollllllllllllllll

Steam Curator: Games From Ireland Games developed in the Republic of Ireland, Northern Ireland, from Irish creators, or playable in the Irish language (Gaeilge).

Delighted that our Sparrow Warfare has already been added to the Imirt curated list of Irish games by @craigbreathnach.bsky.social - we are currently only 50% Irish (but tweaking @martinpi.bsky.social in the right direction a little more every day 🇮🇪)

We're planning to open up our public playtest TOMORROW on Steam... but if you're super keen to hang out with the birds today, just reach out to hello@neonaurelius.com and we'll get you an advance key ❤️

YouTube video by NEON AURELIUS Learn Piquet! The game where you get to cross the Rubicon!

Looking ahead to the weekend and want to have some screen-free fun? If yes, then why not let us teach you how to play PIQUET - a 16th century card game you can play with a standard deck of playing cards. It's fast-paced, deckbuildery, and has great backstabbing vibes!

We're the anti-craft beer movement of games: trust in slow evolution of a tradition. The reason this is not reactionary is that a) we don't believe in a made-up past and b) we think distilling the old into the new is the purpose of culture.

We've been a bit quiet lately while we're getting all our ducks in a row, but we've got a hot new build of our deckbuilder prototype ready today & if that's your jam we'd love you to try it!
