Check it out to learn more about this amazing and adorable game! “A charming open-ended RPG where you’ll discover the joys of running your own cozy cafe in a pixel-perfect world. From brewing the perfect cup of coffee to forging friendships with the locals, experience the perfect blend of relaxation and adventure.”
1. Tell us about Tailside
Tailside is a charming open-ended RPG where you’ll discover the joys of running your own cozy cafe in a pixel-perfect world. From brewing the perfect cup of coffee to forging friendships with the locals, experience the perfect blend of relaxation and adventure.
2. What inspires your work?
The daily moments of rest: the cup of coffee you take in the morning, a small stretch, hearing that one bird from our childhood evenings, the moments that silence our minds for a minute. I want to bring this feeling to the game as a little break from today’s stress and tomorrow’s worries.
3. Favorite part about being an indie dev?
The freedom of creation, making and seeing your vision come to life, bit by bit. There’s no better feeling than seeing something you’re passionate about come from imagination to its physical form and something that others can experience as well.
4. Advice you would give to new creators?
Start and figure things out things on the go! I have heard many times from people being stopped from doing something because they don’t know how, but that’s the point – you won’t know until you start. So if you have an idea that you’re passionate about, write it down, conceptualize, draft a plan and start putting it together by learning those new skills needed for it.
5. Thoughts on All Ages of Geek! How can we be better?
I think it’s already great that you reach out to cover indie games around, that is super appreciated coming from someone who is developing an indie game. I’m not sure if you already do things like “Upcoming indie games”, “Indie game gems” on youtube, but those seem to have been doing pretty well for both sides. Compilations of upcoming indie games seem to be pretty useful!
6. Struggles creating Tailside?
Creating the perfect gameplay and experience balance. The game shouldn’t be too hard yet it should be entertaining in a way. This is definitely something still in the works which is why feedback from upcoming early access will be extremely important.
7. Pitch your game in 3 words
Cozy Fox Cafe – seems like this has been working pretty well!
8. Goals for the game?
The current goal is to finish up the early access plans, art and build up a little cozy community around it. In the future, I hope it will become exactly what it’s meant to be – your little stress-free break from daily routine and I hope players around will enjoy playing it as much as I enjoy developing it! 9. Where can folks support your work? Best way and place to currently support the development is by simply wishlisting the game on Steam and maybe sharing it with a friend:
