Hey everyone! We’re Brayan (Designer) and Baptiste (Developer), the indie duo behind Block-ed, our puzzle game that didn’t achieve the success we hoped for. In our latest video, we share our journey—what went wrong, the lessons we've learned, and how we're moving forward with new and exciting projects!

• Development Challenges: Building Block-ed with a small team and limited resources.
  
• Design Mistakes: Gameplay issues and what we would do differently.
  
• Marketing Missteps: Why our marketing strategy fell short and its impact.
  
• Future Plans: Our upcoming projects and how you can be involved.

We learned the importance of early and active marketing, community engagement, and understanding our audience. Now, we're committed to building our next game with your input and support!

Q: What is You Make The Game?
