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!

At some point, you come accross an old, unhabited ruin.
This was something to change the game's pacing
Through the stained glass, you can see connections with another game I made.

Artwork from my video showing how to apply gray scale screen tones the "old school" way, i.e. by applying them as transparent adhesive sheets, and cutting away the excess material with a hobby knife. If that sounds time-consuming, well, it definitely was!

I was trying to think of a way to make the lilipads work better for low vision/color blind folks (notice that they all turn different ways, for example). It hit me today that I could also allow the user to turn on labels for each pad, which honestly works out GREAT #gamedev #indiedev

I have no intent to play Horses myself (because I'm also quite squeamish) but I've read a couple articles about the game, the intent behind its design, and the questionable nature of its ban on Steam and Epic; and I'd like to support this developer and reaffirm my statements about censorship
I dont intend to play it since im quite a squeamish person, but i have purchased the game as i do firmly believe that developpers who are so artisticly daring are a rare breed and need all the help they can get as they are being screwed over by the whims of puritanical censorship.
Show your solidarity with artists and stand against censorship by buying this game on Itch before it gets delisted there too. This is one of those times where voting with your wallet *can* make a difference. A platform making a chunk of change off sales will 100% think twice before delisting.

I hope this drawing I made in MSPaint does better here than it did on Twitter. I think it will...

Your reviews are so so important to indie games. 500 reviews may not seem like a lot, but to the vast majority of indies it's a ton.
Your reviews largely make or break discoverability for a game.

Taking some time today to look through all the Steam games I like by small scrappy indies (especially ones who are my friends!) and making sure to leave a review for anyone who isn't already Overwhelmingly Positive (which requires 500+ reviews with 95%+ positive)
I recommend you do the same!

This is DEFCON 1 priority, y'all. Call your senators, reps, call your friends and tell them to call their senators and reps about this. Call your grandma and tell her to call her senators and reps about this.
What we have here will be *gone* if these bills pass.

Another of my cartoons, this time focusing on my inability to remember numbers, while anything related to music becomes a lifelong memory. I just looked up the release date and it says Mambo No.5 didn't come out in America until August 17, 1999, so I'm afraid this cartoon contains a false claim!😅
