profit and loss is hard to calculate when you buy asset packs for EVERYTHING you can make.

i bought fonts recently that i'll use in a game, but i didn't buy it SPECIFICALLY for that game..?

Hey everyone. I'm running a deal on all 650 of my commercial use #fonts for 1 week! Representing over a decade of my font output, at a crazy low price of just $19 (less than I normally license a single font for!) Cheers and Happy Halloween! :) hawtpixel.itch.io/hawtpixel-fo... #gamedev #indiedev

Hey Bluesky! I figured it would be a good time to show off the game I've been working on for a little while.

Introducing TaleKeep, a peasant-hopping castle simulation RPG set in a storybook medieval world.
