Sharing this one more time. Envelope received a large update this morning that DOES include a save system...kinda. I've added some text to the bottom of the article to reflect these changes.

I actually sent my info over via the get in touch form yesterday. Would it be better to send it to the email address?

To Recurrent Resident: Envelope Review — Tactical Reload

What is the most mundane 9 to 5 you’ve ever worked? Personally, I’m no stranger to mopping floors or bagging groceries to an outdated playlist that loops every 80 minutes. Staring at the clock, have y...

Thanks for listening to me ramble. Looking forward to Keeper in a couple weeks.

It's about trying to find something in an IKEA strong enough to kill a vampire. You can play it on your phone or in a browser and should only take ten minutes (though there are 7 endings). It would mean the world to me if you find time to check it out. stephentbw.itch.io/everything-m...

@timoflegend.bsky.social hey there, I don't know if you'll see this but you've been a big inspiration for me for the last 20ish years. I left my day job so I could get back to doing creative things and teach myself how to make games. I wanted to share a small point-and-click I made with you (1/2).

I made a game for the first ever #Jamsepticeye! It’s free, plays in a browser (or on your phone), and will most likely take you ten minutes to experience. Check it out! It’s about faking your death to pull off a heist. 🔗 👇 💰 💵 💴

Are you into indie horror? (You’re here so you probably are). I watched the 100+ trailers from the @horrorgameawards.bsky.social showcase and covered some of my favs. Check it out! 🔗 👇

More Blender practice… 🛸

StephenTBW @stephentbw.bsky.social · 15d

I hadn’t spent any time in Blender this week, so here’s a small ceramics studio. This is a two part project and I’m too tired to tackle the second half today…

I lost a bet to my sister so I had to make a vampire video game. Tricks on her! I wanted an excuse to learn variables in GB Studio. This is the most complicated one of these I’ve worked on, so far (7 endings!). Check it out when you get the chance! It’s free. 🔗 👇
