So this happened... I guess :). On Monday I picked up an Apple Design Award for our app BANDIMAL at WWDC 2018. Yay...? It truly is humbling to be awarded about the greatest honor in our industry. developer.apple.com/design/awards/ @Apple @YATATOY #wwdc #wwdc2018 #appledesignawards #bandimal

What is a Pinrila 🐧🦍🐨? Or a Canpanfante 🦘🐒🐘? Find out in #MIXIMAL, now adding Brazilian Portuguese 🇧🇷 as a new language! Made by @YATATOY! (Beautifully voiced by @eazanotti 📣)

Super cool interview from @iFDESIGNAWARD with @lucas_zanotto, about our kids apps at @YATATOY. Thanks 😎! #design #YATATOY ifdesign.com/en/if-magazine…

We at @YATATOY are proud to announce #MIXIMAL is now available in yet another language: (European) Portuguese 🇵🇹! Kids can create wacky animals like Pincola or Flaquizé 😜 ...all of it with full voice acting 😎. (Fantastically voiced by Marcos Fernandes 🗣)

@DanielThomasArt @GrundislavGames So neat!

@GrundislavGames Here's some additional backgrounds that was made (but not in the demo), collecting dust on my NAS-storage

@GrundislavGames Oh that would be a damned shame!

@GrundislavGames Man, I remember this too 😐. The game always seemed really ambitious to me, so I wasn't terribly surprised that it got cancelled. Zyndikate did such a great job with the backgrounds! Any way this could be revived, or at least repurpose the artwork into something else?

@Nordea_Aspa @Nordea Pitäisi ilmoittaa kuolinpesän tilitietoja verottajalle asap. Oletettavasti Nordea korvaa siis myös verottajalta tulevat lisämaksut, eikö vaan @Nordea_Aspa?

@Nordea_Aspa @Nordea ID:n reaktivointi kestää 3-5pv kirjeitse. Siihen tuplat, jotta saan Business-tilin oikeudet (kahta validointia ei tehdä samanaikaisesti 🤦‍♂️). Korvaako Nordea menetetyt verkko-ostokset ja esim. HSL sakkomaksun, koska maksuja ei voi validoida? Asiakaspalvelukin vaatii ID:n!

Huomio Applen laitteiden käyttäjät! 📣 Lataathan Nordea ID -sovelluksen version 2.3.5, ennen kuin asennat iOS17 -version. Apple on julkaissut uuden iOS17 -version, joka voi aiheuttaa joillekin asiakkaille Nordea ID -sovelluksen toimimattomuuden.

@luiseteiart I was revealing hotspots a lot while playing Gibbous. But the reason was that while the backgrounds are visually really rich, hotspots are sparse. You get used to a bad experience while hotspot-scanning, so you learn to skip. I wouldn’t have finished the game without the feature.

@luiseteiart I think it varies by game, but I would opt for it as an option. I’m playing Broken Sword 5 on PS5 now, and they don’t have hotspot revealing. It’s really torturous to scan with the controller, since the hotspots in the game are sparse and not intuitive. Missing the feature!

It seems some people is asking for hotspots reveal button in my game demo. Is this a new standard for adventure games?, what do you think?

@leandrinux @luiseteiart I remember playing some game on iPad where you would actively see hotspots show up as you drag your finger over them (with some distance minimum). This actually can make hotspot-hunting fun on touch screens, if implemented well.

@luiseteiart I can see how this might be important for touchscreen devices but it's kind of a spoiler for PC games

@ioramastudio I was really glad to spot Chantlings on the list this year 🤩. I've been jamming to it from the beginning!

Delight and Fun! We are nominated for another Apple Design Award this time for our second thing, Chantlings! developer.apple.com/design/awards/

We at @YATATOY just released a new update to #MIXIMAL that adds Dutch as a new language 🇳🇱! Kids can now make up animals like Korilgo or Golisaurus 🤪 ...all with full voice acting 🤩. (Voiced brilliantly by @Eric_Dieperink)

@lungyapp 's development started during #covid as a way to make breathing exercises more playful & enjoyable. We hope to develop it into a medical device for #asthma + #COPD in the future. Thank you for the support @DrTonyYoung @iniitamo @NHS_CEP @innovateuk @ProfHurst @ucl🙏

@idlefriday Can’t wait 🤩!

@iniitamo Thanks Ilari! Watch this space 👀

Automatoys by ⁦@idlefriday⁩ is the most fun and pretty puzzle game I’ve played in a while. Love the plastic and kinetic feel! Such an inspiration! Already got all levels at ⭐⭐⭐, and wanting more 😎. #indiegame #indiedev
