cast n chill is an extremely beautiful and considered take on cozy fishing. fighting the fish feels realistic and satisfying, but it never relies on tension gauges or silly minigames.

very happy to be able to set this up with the team over the ditch

girls tell me that it doesn't matter how small your dev team is, the important thing is how cohesive you are

it's entirely possible to be a solo dev and still not be aligned to the core vision of your game
