After about 1.5 years in development, my game "May and the Amazing Bouquet" can now be wishlisted on Steam!
This is my first real game, and I'm so excited it's gotten to this point! 🥲
Thank you to everyone who's followed and supported so far!

One of my weaknesses is that I can't just make a throwaway joke and be done with it. I obsessively MUST make any place, people or event mentioned in the joke show up in the game later, which usually means making a bunch of new assets, implementing items and so on... #gamedev #indiedev #Burgertale

Attention Indie Devs!
I just need 15 seconds ... of your game footage! A lot of people jumped on the 15s video trend, so I thought it would be cool to make a compilation to help indies get some visibility.
The anti-spam key is "kook".

In Link’s awakening, if you can sequence break and bring date Marin up to Tal Tal Heights and rescue Marin from the bridge post D7, not only will there be two Marins, but the wrong one will move over thin air to go offscreen in the cutscene iirc, hard locking you into that room w/ no control
i was going through my X archives and found this by @superpodsaga.com, which I qrt'd at some point years ago
so, let me bring the question back: what is the most useless piece of video game knowledge you know?

In The Labyrinth of Time, entering the Ziggurat without a lantern is supposed to show a black screen. However, the developers put in the wrong filename for the black screen, so it fails to render, showing a black screen instead

I am sure bluesky will eat the quality, but this is a mockup for the stream game. Some of it is repurposed and cleaned up massively from past prototypes since this is more or less supposed to be a really quick project :)

Every time you use AI slop in your game, even as a placeholder, even if it's supposed to be temporary, you're helping to destroy the video game industry little by little.

I'm Getting Real Tired Of Not Being Able To Trust That A Video Game Doesn't Have AI Crap In It - Aftermath
It sucks that players are having to scour every asset and line of dialogue

Like the games it's inspired by (Zelda:LA, For the Frog the Bell Tolls), I'd like to have some brief side-scrolling passages in this top-down game.
May's sprites, jump height, and gravity are the same as the top-down areas. So it should feel familiar.

Random person who plays indie games, you are the most important cog in an indie game's success.
Most gamers don't know or care that indies exist.... unless a friend tells them.
Our games succeed because you tell other people you liked our game. Word of mouth is the best marketing there is.

Players using Emulators shouldn't have a better experience that players on a physical NES! 💢
For example, Super Sunny World will feature a QUICK SAVE, similar to "SLEEP MODE" found on some GBA games, to allow you to take a break without losing all your progress.
