- My game has won the Popularity Award at the Taiwan Bahamut ACG Creation Contest! - 24 August 2026
My game, Lami: A Cup of Code & Coffee, has won the Popularity Award at the Taiwan Bahamut ACG Creation Contest!!This award is quite special because it wasn't chosen by judges. Instead, it was voted on by the online community. It was all of you, the players and fans, who cast your votes for Lami. I am truly overjoyed! Thank you all for giving me this opportunity! Standing out among nearly 70 games was already a tremendous challenge. Unfortunately, Lami did not win the approval of the judges, and failed to become a finalist in any category other than the Popularity Award, which inevitably left me feeling a bit discouraged.Although it might sound arrogant—making it seem like getting an award or making it to the second stage was already difficult enough, and asking for anything more would be greedy—what I really want to express is my own self-reflection.Over my two-plus years of game develo…

- Two Years Developing Lami: A Cup of Code and Coffee - 2 June 2026
Hello everyone! I'm Lemi, a solo indie game developer.Lami: A Cup of Code and Coffee is the first game I've ever developed, and I'm making it entirely on my own.As of this month, the project is about to enter its third year of development.The journey has been anything but easy.The game started out as a café simulator. After about six months of development, I completely redesigned it into a card game for its first exhibition. Later, it evolved into an Overcooked-style game, and now it even includes a workshop and crafting system.Looking back, I feel like every possible pitfall in game development has somehow found me.It's almost as if I have a blessing that guarantees I will step into every trap along the way.How do people actually make games?Honestly, I don't think you can truly understand until you've experienced the process yourself."This isn't just about making a game."I have enormou…

That said, this update may contain a lot of bugs — please bear with me!I’ll continue fixing and improving things in future updates.
