Really exciting to see the first public alpha test for SoS! I encourage participating — choosing your retainer+weapon to build a kit, and optionally swapping the weapon later is a really neat design! #moba #indiedev #gamedev

It is great to see a #MOBA game trying new things! I encourage anyone interested in lane-pushing genre hybrids to take advantage of this weekend's free access :) #gamedev #indiegame

I had a great chat last week with Joe Ryan — lead game designer for the lane-pushing game TOME: Immortal Arena in 2014! We chat about the reductive design philosophy for the game, where it succeeded, and how it came to an end. #moba #gamedesign #gamedev lanepushinggames.com/article…
