Gonna be cross-posting between BlueSky and #mastodon from here on. In light of recent events, it's becoming evident that I should keep some bridges built just in case one island suddenly burns down...

So yeah, please come and follow me here as well!

LEGALLY YOU SHOULD BE SENDING INVOICES FOR GOODS AND SERVICES. IF YOU TAKE COMMISSIONS ON PAYPAL DO NOT USE FRIENDS AND FAMILY. YOU ARE NOT SAFE, YOUR CLIENT IS NOT SAFE.

THIS IS A FORM OF TAX EVASION.

YOU SHOULD BE USING INVOICES.

Paypal is now playing harder ball on artists, going after anyone even mentioning commissions.

Artists, send invoices. That way, no one has to say what the money is for on Paypal's paper trail.

Customers, SAY NOTHING about commissions. Just say "thanks" on donos.

Everyone: INCREASE THE CALLS.

what’s one totally useless feature you’ve added just because it made you happy? ✨

mine was actually Mandy’s glide ability, it started as a bug, but I found a way to make it work in a way I wasn’t expecting 😅 it’s debugged now, promise!

This is the Steam trailer for Star Spark that I'd been working on!

The game isn't done, but just having the store page is a big milestone for me.

Wishlist it if you like what you see!

Jokes aside though, "imagine how to make them upset" is a real #gamedesign method I use:

1️⃣ Identify INSPIRATIONS and SIMILAR GAMES.
2️⃣ Look up NEGATIVE reviews of those games.
3️⃣ Find reviews describing issues that might apply to your own game.

Well... I actually just picked up House again, after having set it aside for a couple years 😆

With October being upon us, that post I made the other day, and Bark Bark Games working on the sequel, I thought I'd go revisit it; especially since there's still more for me to uncover! 😊

For me... It's a matter of what I actually end up writing, versus what I originally tried to write 😆

Mark Crilley @markcrilley.bsky.social · 3d

People seemed to enjoy the cartoon I posted the other day, so here's another one: an exaggeration, but not by much! 😁

Elric Murphy @epsilon017.bsky.social · 3d

Gaming. Existing. Dunno, don't rally have much to write home about lately

BRUH! Another person who knows Crooked Man AND House??

Here's one that seems appropriate to the season: artwork from my video showing how to draw a skull using the "white on black" method.

I honestly wanted to at least include Ib, Mather Father, and OMORI

But since I can only pick four #horrorgames, I'm going with some games that I loved, that are also more obscure

NOTE: Only the DEMO for Dreamed Away is available right now. The FULL game launches on the 23rd of this month 🙂

The song "Three Kobolds in a Trenchcoat" and all its variations are suddenly becoming my new favorite thing 😄

A few years back I did a series of cartoons that I posted on my various social media accounts. I think this one owes a lot to the work of @artbymoga, who is a master of having a laugh at her own expense. I've always admired this self-deprecating form of humor, in which no one else gets mocked.

I'd still keep tabs on the owner of the block list, make sure they don't get up to anything sketchy...
