🇧🇩 Bangladeshi Indie Dev Making Waves! 🚀

We are incredibly proud to spotlight one of our own IGDA Bangladesh chapter members, Fahim Faysal, for the recent feature in The Daily Star! 🌟

His upcoming game, Compress(space), is a brilliant "love letter to indie games"—a mind-bending puzzle adventure where you manipulate the very fabric of space to solve challenges. It’s heartening to see local talent pushing the boundaries of game design and getting the recognition they deserve.

Fahim’s journey is a testament to the growing strength of the Bangladeshi indie dev community. Let’s show him some love and support!
