I had a dream where I was watching a commercial for spit. The slogan was "Every time you swallow Spit, you're enjoying human broth."
I think I've been working on this mouth game too long.

Taking another stab at "cheesy" - and also, "flaming hot" - because sometimes you just want a flaming hot human torso. Or a flaming hot pile of puke.
@dunderbeckgame.com is there for you in those moments.

A hot dog? In this economy?! I divided all money by 10 - because a hot dog should probably not cost $3. Not that I can afford another at $0.30, either...

Item variants previously used only different sprites. The new system uses particles and tone mapping for a consistent, expandable visual language, as shown here with the "cheesy" variant.

This mug is one of my favorite things that we sell on the #RUST store - the mythos of Jerry the Lemon is one of my most loved narratives in #H3VR - make sure to scream to the citric celestial after you drink your cup of lemon juice. That's what normal people enjoy in the morning, right? #IndieGames

With my birthday coming up, I'm reflecting on what I've learned and let go. My coding and art skills continue to grow, but my patience for web dev (once my focus) is fading. It's odd, realizing past me (who knew this stuff) is a different person. Still, I'm super happy I chose to lean into game dev.

Back around the turn of the century, the @cincinnatizoo.bsky.social was a whole other kind of wild.
In @dunderbeckgame.com, our zoo-inspired level probably won't have a "butcher's day" but it *will* have bonnacons.

For all of the joking about @dunderbeckgame.com being nominated for "Best in Simulation" at #TMG2025, it turns out the game may have been more simulation than I had thought (Taken from Greg Hand's book, "Cincinnati Curiosities")

Honestly, @shoepert.bsky.social's deadpan panning totally makes it.
I'd say the trailer is unique, gross, interesting, funny, and unique.

A streamer got a bit more than he bargained for when he played #ROCGameFest alum @dunderbeckgame.com for the first time. Check out his mini-review in the game’s new trailer!
After we demoed our game, Dunderbeck, a streamer gave us some "feedback" - we turned it into a trailer. It's #unique. And it (could be) #enjoyable! But it's also #disgusting and #gross...

Last month's dev sprint, surviving on artisanal rat sausages while locked in my basement? Just dialing in the #Dunderbeck SIMULATION EXPERIENCE. You know, because we were nominated for SIMULATION GAME.
Catch it LIVE at #TMG2025 in Philly this Thursday or JUST AS LIVE on stream!

Look at those silhouetted items! I'm really liking the way this is shaping up.
The almanac in @dunderbeckgame.com is a real important part of the gameplay and it's been neglected for too long. BUT NO MORE. YOU WILL BE PRETTY SOME DAY. And that day is today!

I just had another feel-good "Hey, I'm not a fraud!" #gamedev moment - spent the last hour rewriting a major system - but it was deeply entangled so I had to write it blind. Anyway, fast forward to now and it works!
What other sorts of "Look, ma! I'm a real dev!" moments have y'all had?

Gah nothing is better than racking your brain on how to illustrate something with an icon and then realizing you already made an entire icon set - not only for that one item, but for the whole problem space.
