TL;DR the developers of slay the spire created a fun free card game within 3 weeks to explore and learn the Godot game engine. You can play it here: https://megacrit.itch.io/dancing-duelists

"Hey, here's some shit we threw together without knowing what we were doing" is a weird marketing tactic.

I'm sure they're doing it more to promote Godot rather than themselves, but it looks really weird with my consumer hat on.

Edit: FFS, I wasn't trying to disparage them. The hostility in the replies here is really disappointing.

Edit 2: Or maybe I'm just in a bad mood today.

Did you by any change miss that it is a free game?

[-] lolcatnip@reddthat.com 3 points 1 year ago

Yes, I did.

But also free things can still have marketing. I assume they want people to actually play their game.

Not to mention, they literally only had a month to make it, being that it was for a contest.
