Took in a stray and I love her but it’s REALLY hampering my dev time lately 😅

Thanks dude! Lots of noise on Reddit for sure, but also some solid advice if you can sift through the bad faith takes. This trailer is a lot better than my first attempt thanks to some of their suggestions.

Sleepyhead Games @sleepyheaddevs.bsky.social · Sep 19

Reddit clowned on my last trailer so here’s a redo. Yay or nay? 🧙‍♂️🧁🪄

Began building my games hub which is a magical bakery, so naturally we needed a cute lil espresso machine to get things started!

Lol yup, everyone thinks they’re up for the stress and commitment making a game entails but few truly are 🫠

Appreciate the feedback! I’ll concentrate my efforts into the hood and his oppressively straight back haha, ty! 🙏

Cthulu inspired cultist for the upcoming church stage! Looking for any tips, tricks, or feedback as I'm not a pixel artist but am now 100% solo requiring me to learn the craft!

No problem dude, dig your whole vibe! It was great watching your playthrough and very helpful hearing your thoughts. Thanks so much for taking the time 🫶

Sleepyhead Games @sleepyheaddevs.bsky.social · Mar 11

Dude I was just watching this today and then blasted through your other stuff thanks to the algorithm, didn't even know we were already bluesky buds lol. Good luck on your journey and I'll for sure be following along!

Did you play the Rune Song demo yet?!
@alexplswhy.bsky.social did and provided great feedback! If you're a creator interested in covering Rune Song, let me know so I can shout you out too!

Even if that’s the case, it’s still gotta get done and coincidentally is the best way to improve on your skillset. Keep going 👍

Sleepyhead Games @sleepyheaddevs.bsky.social · Mar 7

Thank you for the love! The writing is hit or miss for people so I’m really glad it worked for you! If you have the time, it would be so helpful if you dropped a review on our Steam page but above all, thank you for playing! 🙏
