BIC Festival Audio Award Win!

Lo-Fi Room
A browser game made in HTML5

Hello everyone!

Last month I went to Busan Indie Connect Festival (BIC for short), to show Lo-Fi Room~

The main news for me from there is that the game won the Excellence in Audio category! :) Which I was super happy with! (Here are some photos of me with the big prize sign)

I had a really good time at the event! I was able to meet a lot of really cool people and also get really useful feedback from what people said and also watching people playing the game in real life. So thanks to everyone who came along!

Here are some photos from my booth. It was a little tricky to work out a good setup but I like how it turned out :)

The main thing I learned  was that it can be pretty unclear what you have to do in the beginning of the game. So I’ve mainly been focusing on improving the starting experience for players. For the next month or so I'm planning to focus on that, I will still keep working on levels steadily, but first priority is on improving the menu UIs and trying to make what you can do more clear. 

I also sent out playtest keys a few weeks ago with an extra 19th level, so if you signed up to be a playtester before then,  check your spam folder! I'm hoping to do another bigger playtest once I've added 3 - 5 new levels, but that might be a little while.

Thanks again for following the development, I really appreciate it! :)
