Today is my indie dev 1st anniversary 🎂🎉

I started my journey on May 15th 2023, exactly one year ago! Everything worked out quite differently that what I expected, in a very good way. Thanks a lot to everyone who contributed to this great first year, I love you a lot 💖

Minami Lane Post Mortem 🧋📖✨

I wrote a post mortem of Minami Lane, with the story, thoughts and a lot of learnings!
It's quite long but I tried my best to keep it interesting!

@gatlink et oui haha, ou alors pas une formation classique ! Je me demande si c'est pas quelque chose qui nous aide à accepter de tout faire un peu à l'arrache et pas forcément "comme il faudrait"

Minami Lane is now available for macOS ✨🦝🍎

I'm so happy! Thanks a lot to playtesters who helped us a lot with this.
There could still be some bugs with the mac version that we didn't see. If you encounter any issue, please report them.

Share with your apple lover friends!

🦝🏡🚲 Minami Lane D-3 📅✨🌸

It took some time and a lot of discussion to settle on the name for our little game! Here is why we like it:

  • Sounds cute with the "mln" sounds 🧋
  • Quite unique ✨
  • Fits the japanese-inspired setting 🍜
  • Captures the "tiny street" pitch 🏡

🦝🏡🚲 Minami Lane D-4 📅✨🌸

Minami Lane is inspired by a lot of different games! Here are some notable ones:

  • Outlanders
  • Gourdlets
  • Kairosoft cute management games
  • Boba Simulator

Minami Lane is going to cost $4.99! ✨🦝

We set the price for our little game! It will be cheaper than a boba tea!

As a reminder, the game will stay small, with 5 missions and a sandbox mode at release, and minimal content added after that. Expect 2-4h of cuteness, cats and villagers complaining there is too much tea in their tea!

Only 18 days to release 🫢 we are doing our best to make the game as good as possible and we really hope you'll like it 💌

I still can't really believe it's real 💖💌🌸

What a year! I started my indie dev journey, released Froggy's Battle on Steam, started working on Minami Lane with @blibloop, and learned a lot. I wrote a detailed wrap up of my year, along with figures and learnings on reddit if you are interested 📖✍️
