Lowering the Fingeance Skill Floor
Last week, a fan of ours decided to play Fingeance using only his right hand. Surprisingly, he did very well throughout the campaign (albeit on easy mode)! It immediately dawned on me how much decreasing the skill floor in Fingeance has helped with approachability and accessibility.

The Comic Book Aesthetic
Since we first started working on Fingeance, I have had two personal goals in mind.

A Shocking Reveal: Sparky!

However, we’ve oftentimes saddled her with a…

Redacted: The Balancing Act of Sharing Content
Sharing content with you, the audience, is a tricky subject. We have already reached a point in development where we need to start thinking about what content we share and what we should keep secret.

Finn’s New Loadout
Over the past few weeks, we’ve talked about some major changes we’ve made to the shop. I left Lane a nice present in the form of new Bubbles equipment before we left on our trip to the Game Developers Conference in San Francisco. That’s not the only character we’ve been fiddling with however! Finn’s got…
