Joe Mirabello BATTLE TRAIN out now! @blankslatejoe.bsky.social · Oct 24

Proper introduction post here: I'm Joe, former AAA games artist-turned-indiedev. Solo Dev of Tower of Guns, directed Mothergunship, and co-directed '3 out of 10', Mothergunship: Forge and Battle Train. I like classic FPS games, game art, and making halloween props. #indiegames #gameart #gamedev

I love how the lore of that game is simply: "yes".

You know a game is going to be a blast when even the devs get surprised while playing it.

Maybe farthest frontier?

Joe Mirabello BATTLE TRAIN out now! @blankslatejoe.bsky.social · 4d

Ahhh.. my brain read "bsky devs" as fellow "game devs on bsky" and i thought id missed some indie drama or something else from ol' randy, etc.

I miss some gossip?

Joe Mirabello BATTLE TRAIN out now! @blankslatejoe.bsky.social · 4d

Replying again to say, sadly, the innoculation only lasted a day. Bah!

Fb I mostly use for family dms and selling/buying used stuff locally. Tik tok is a work staple these days that I need to at least be familiar with.

Joe Mirabello BATTLE TRAIN out now! @blankslatejoe.bsky.social · 5d

Right.. so this is what fixed tiktok and facebook for me. You just gotta KEEP liking them and it took only a few mjns for my feed to switch over to all cakes. Now when it tosses me new things.. they seem to be random crafting or coloring pages and such. Cake decorators must be pretty chill people.

Joe Mirabello BATTLE TRAIN out now! @blankslatejoe.bsky.social · 5d

This isn't to say you shouldn't pay attention to current events and all. Just that Cake Decorators were not on my list of people who chill my blood pressure down, and we should protect them all.

I wish I was kidding... but im not. Suddenly I went from feeling depressed whenever i opened any social feed to.... amazed. The world is filled with art and beauty and its ~~~ delicious ~~~ looking.

Joe Mirabello BATTLE TRAIN out now! @blankslatejoe.bsky.social · 5d

It's cake decorating videos. Just start liking every cake decorating video and your feed will be filled with wonderful things instead of doom.

There indeed was a chill from a window open nearby, but they wanted to stay near me on the couch. the rest of the house was quite warm tho, so they would have left if they were too cold!

Apparently im out of the loop on trending topics. Those are my cats names for anyone curious. They take turns terrorizing each other and then cuddling.

Makes me think for c5, they should prime the relationships by playing offscreen up to a certain level together.. and THEN they invite the audience in. We can FEEL the awkwardness of new characters and relationships.

I think part of what made c1 land for me and the other ones not.. is intros. We didnt get intros in c1. We were tossed right into them knowing each other and midadventure... and that was accidentally brilliant.
