Happy #screenshotsaturday! I'm so excited to show off the unique combat system for our game! @rought.bsky.social did an amazing job creating our game's combat, a blend between BG3's tactics and Paper Mario's timed minigames!

Hi Bluesky, could really use your help 🙏🙏

We just launched our latest game Starless Abyss - the exact week that Oblivion was shadow-dropped. Which has been *not fantastic* for our launch

If anyone can spare a RT, that would be so, so helpful ❤️❤️

Those closest to him at the time said his last words were "... this peace... this moment... it fills me with determination."

BREAKING: Pope Francis, the first Latin American leader of the Roman Catholic Church, has died at age 88.

Pope Francis dies at 88

Francis' often turbulent reign was marked by division and tension as he sought to overhaul the hidebound institution.

For this #screenshotsaturday, I'll show off something I'm doing for the first time: Sorting through Voice Acting auditions! Would 100% recommend the @voiceactingclub.bsky.social discord for other indies looking for VO work!

You can drop “ttrpg” from this sentence and it still rings true.

Jacob Budz @xptolevel3.bsky.social · Mar 14

There is still no good reason to use AI for your ttrpg games.

It’s a great way to siphon the life out of your hobby and make you slowly feel empty inside.

Get ready for the virtual E.T landfill!!!

For this week's #screenshotsaturday, we have something not that far off from the first opening moments of gameplay! It's really cool to see these systems finally working in unison and feeling like a game :) !

It is definitely still #screenshotsaturday if you squint your eyes hard enough! Turns out inventories are complicated systems, but I'm working through it! Right now we have the totally useful "Wizard Hat Of Self Immolation" for when you want to set yourself on fire!
