Sometimes we ask @jkooza.bsky.social & @allymobbs.bsky.social to do level testing. Somehow they always get stuck fighting ⚔️

I'm convinced dungeon crawlers have always needed skiing physics after Awaysis' newest trailer Somewhere between classic Zelda and Human Fall Flat, you'll find self-billed "dungeon brawler" Awaysis.

Great mention from @pcgamer.com

"I was impressed when I saw Awaysis' physics-based slide jumps and enemy-propelling magic projectiles, but I was elated when I saw one player seemingly brush their co-op partner off a ledge and into an endless abyss by accident."

We call it co-opertition. #indiedev

Death Stranding 3: Escape from Tokyo

Meat vs fish sushi at Kintan, Ginza. Pretty stunning.

The long ride to Makuhari Messe for Tokyo Game Show at the buttcrack of dawn is an age old tradition with my long time partner-in-crime @johntv.bsky.social

@84play.bsky.social pre-TGS party is a major highlight of every TGS, and has been for over 20(!!) years! This year was longer than ever and had insane live sets from LEGENDS Chip Tanaka (also doing music for our latest game AWAYSIS) and Yuzo Koshiro!!

👀 make sure you have this on the calendar folks!

Our CEO @jkooza.bsky.social made it up to #TGS2025 today after a long train ride. Some nice shots as he head into the convention center.

We asked the team to describe 17-BIT in a single sentence. It may be chaotic, but at the end of the day we have the most badass team around!

To make the world of #AWAYSIS feel as organic as possible, @allymobbs.bsky.social spent the day throwing piles of wood to capture authentic timber timbre. 🪵

Always a top honor to be featured in the games industry’s finest journal, EDGE!!

Anyone heading to TGS this year that would like to talk #AWAYSIS from @17-bit.bsky.social? Let me know - we have some limited slots available on the business days with our CEO and Creative Director @jkooza.bsky.social.

Incredibly excited to be working with the person who created the soundtrack of our childhoods. An incredible honor.

Our sound designer and in-house musician @allymobbs.bsky.social put together an incredible live set and put our guest musician the legend Chip Tanaka on stage for a mind blowing session as well! We celebrated with street beers afterwards.

So many friends to celebrate videogames with at BitSummit!! @swerytd.bsky.social @liambme.bsky.social

BITSUMMIT XIII was one of our best shows ever, booth was packed the whole show, lots of smiles and return customers. People loved it, and it was incredible to experience so much love and excitement for all our hard work on AWAYSIS!! Thank you everyone who came by!!

Day 2 of #BitSummit was incredible! So many folks came by to play #AWAYSIS and had a great time.

Same place. Same time. See you tomorrow!

Incredible show tonight by the LEGEND, Hip Tanaka, who is working alongside our own @allymobbs.bsky.social on the soundtrack for our new game AWAYSIS!! First playable this weekend at BITSUMMIT!!

I was commissioned by @17-bit.bsky.social to make a goblin from their brilliant new game Awaysis. Character designed by Satoshi Matsuura and the logo by some guy called @jontofski.bsky.social 😜
If you are at Bitsummit this weekend head up to the third floor opposite Nintendo to check it out.

Collaboration was an absolute pleasure, hope to do it all again!!
