It’s been about a month since the last devlog and it’s probably been our craziest month so far. We’ve posted about some of the stuff that’s happened, but we’ll recap everything here:
Ben (@perplamps) here, writing during the fourth hour of our plane ride back across the country. We’re coming back from the Game Developers Conference, which is a huge all-week event in San Francisco where people in the game dev community run talks, show off their games, schedule a billion meetings, and go to way too many parties.

What a nutty month!
I started Moblets as a little break from my other game-in-progress, IT Simulator, but now it’s taken on a big ole’ life of its own.
