Enjoy a new gameplay clip from Horses of Hoofprint Bay today 🥰
The video shows the player filling up hay and water troughs, mucking out the stable, grooming their two mares (one of them is visibly pregnant!) and starting a stable upgrade for more space. What would you like to see next? 👀

the assignment was to "look at a phenomenon" (natural or otherwise) and explain the movemnt to others. everyone had to choose 1 and do a 5 min presentation (animation itself wasn't required but I wanted to test my knowledge). best animation assignment I ever got! #2danimation #framebyframe

there are many kinds of people who make games. but also maybe we can be mostly boiled down to:
1: struggled in school, always a bit defiant, passionate about (game from when they were 13), neurodivergent
2: teacher's pet, people-pleaser, games saved their life, no other life skill, neurodivergent

I was starting to write a post here and then it turned into a blog post instead. Riffing off @malicedafirenze.bsky.social's recent good post, to talk about the future of indie games: blog.vbuckenham.com/the-future-o...
The future of indie games
I've followed Alice Ruppert on social media for a while now. She runs a website focused on horse games. I'm not a horse girl! I mean horses are fine, but they're not something I'm mega into. But what ...

so many people ask "will the game be free?" and I'm sitting here lowkey like "why tf would it be free" 🙈 #indiedev

A longer look at horse care in our game! 😍
You use the curry comb to remove dirt, but this roughens up the coat. You then use the brush to smooth down the hair again. The game never forces you to clean your horse, but riding while dirty may cause saddle sores!

Video game giant Rockstar has sacked more than 30 workers across the UK, including my constituents working at their Edinburgh office. I urged Ministers to support workers who have lost their jobs, and stop this from happening again.

diegetic UI is tricky but also so rewarding! Love when games feel like toys 🥰
Another glimpse behind the scenes of making Horses of Hoofprint Bay: We're currently improving on the horse trader visuals. While parts of the game were polished for the announcement trailer, a lot of features currently still consist of sketches and placeholders! (see alt text for more info!)

The good thing about everyone being so fucking tired of genAI slop is that you can just show your work and go "look at this, we made it by hand!!" and you're already adding value to people's lives with it💖
