🦝whew, rusty at drawing. anyways, first real drawing in krita (except one from like 4 years ago but we don't talk about that)

🦝do you read the word "gridlock" correctly or are you a little nasty like me

a VCR-like font for a Halloween game, eh? Classic... You can use TAPE! (from my 40 fonts sale) 📼 itch.io/s/158296/40-...

🦝chat is gonna have to put up with us reposting the post about our game being on sale this week because we're trying to make some money here haha, especially before October ends because our november paycheck from Valve looks like it's gonna be real lean if we don't

🦌if I'm making it clear who's speaking or doing something in that moment and you still call me Jess, this'll make me sad. if you're a plural system too, this'll make me double sad like, especially on discord where we make it clearer than glass

🦌we talked before about how our itch sales have all but died since the payment processor thing happened. now, so far since the current Blobun sale is going on, 100% of sales are just through Steam, so yea, it really makes us question the viability of itch as a platform going forward

🐭Yooka Replaylee is like if Yooka Laylee was made by Microsoft Rare. I will not elaborate further

🐭hmm... so you can have an animated sprite and a nine slice sprite, but you can't have an animated nine slice sprite sorry godot, gamemaker wins this one

🐭what do you MEAN godot doesn't just make the game for you?!?! you mean I have to WORK?

🐭recently a player told us that on Mac, Blobun Mini wasn't marked as being compatible with modern Macs? the pico8 export includes code for old and new Macs though, and according to them and other Mac players, we've fixed it now go! play Mac's one game for free store.steampowered.com/app/3827340/...

🐭kinda wish the Paint Tool SAI dev would open source it so someone could port it to Linux... it's so nice and lightweight and we've been having a hard time finding something that's nice and lightweight like that that has a simple to use brush engine

🐭everyone better be ready to buy our game tomorrow >:3

Internetzzzz x3

🦨playing that yooka replaylee dx or whatever

🦨noticing that people have been dropping reviews on itch and steam for Blobun and Blobun Mini again recently and, yea do that, it's really appreciated! we like to read em and also, bigger numbers make the computer happier (we don't care about big numbers but valve and itch's servers do lmao)

🦨since "post your images with alt text to make them accessible to people with vision issues" isn't working, here's a new one: post your images with alt text or some guy will repost your image with alt text and steal all your clout

quick PSA for those who need it!

🐿️our deck continues to haunt us with issues. Blobun has very regular frame hitching now, for no reason, in Gamescope and Desktop mode, but ONLY the Linux version?? under Proton? it's fine. other games on our deck? it's fine? asked a friend to try it on their deck? it's fine. this is too specific

🦨the players have spoken, and Blobun's new price is now $9.99! However, don't buy it yet! it'll be on sale on Monday if you wanna save even more (or buy now if you *dont* want to save more??) Touch every tile, now for a great price! store.steampowered.com/app/3284270/... cyansorcery.itch.io/blobun

🐿️regarding the poll I just posted, we've probably gotten enough responses to make a decision, but we want to get any last minute thoughts in there before we commit to anything! so far though, very glad that it seems nobody would be mad if we lowered the price, and $15 players think it's worth it

🦝since we've announced we're not making any more major additions to Blobun for now, it seems like a good time to revisit the price discussion, which people have definitely told us about. So, let's talk about it! Did we charge too much? or is it just fine? poll here: forms.gle/h4tymKMWNMFa...

🦊I like the part of Silksong where Hornet shouts out "Gentoo!" one of the trickiest Linux distros to use

🦊petitioning everyone on the timeline to start calling Microsoft "Microslop"

🦊been having an issue with godot when trying to import a sprite sheet to an AnimatedSprite2D. This sprite sheet has frames of 140x140 resulting in the padding I highlighted in red, which Godot just completely ignores and it instead just imports it as... whatever THIS is. can't specify 140x140 at all

🦝I hope you guys know that if this new Bubsy takes off, people are gonna be making Bubsy OCs what's a Bubsy OC look like? we'll find out together

🦝now thinking about how our Nintendo Switch desperately needed its thermal paste replaced and we opened it up and yea, found the most dry paste we've seen in our life, and we figured out it needed this because we were having difficulties playing THIS store.steampowered.com/app/839870/W...

🦝so our steam deck has had this issue for a few days now where the emojis are messed up and we *think* it's part of why chrome keeps crashing. it's like this in game mode too and the "Repair OS" option didn't fix it. found someone on reddit with the same problem 2 years ago, but no solution there

🦌why were guys back in the day obsessed with "head and torso of a man, body of an animal" ? centaurs, satyrs, nagas, fauns, and mermaids are all the same thing

Yesterday, I learned about @kaikalii.bsky.social's uiua.org programming language. Very lovely and original. suno pini la, mi kama sona e lon pi toki ilo Wiwa lon uiua.org. mama @kaikalii.bsky.social li lon e toki sin suwi a.

🦌so what's the deal with steam trading cards and backgrounds and stuff? apparently we can do them now for Blobun and it's like, we don't understand any of that stuff lol (also since we just announced we weren't working on it anymore for now, we're not rushing back in to add these lmao)

🦌shoutout to the handful of people who bought Blobun on Mac (where the game is not available because developing for mac is too expensive.) we really hope they were buying it for use with their Steam Deck or something (where the game works perfectly)

🦌playing solitaire in KPatience is funny because it's a struggle between: - "This game is winnable" are you sure captain? I'm not seeing it - "This game is no longer winnable" I bet I can find a solution

🦨the steam deck has been nice and we appreciate people giving us money for it, but the amount of issues we've had with it just using it normally really show that it'll never be more than an enthusiast device. the year of the linux desktop isn't here yet

grhhrnn,,, hn....

🦨the AWS outage just reminds me of the previous version of our site where we wrote our own bespoke gallery software, and someone was *insisting* we should use AWS and that we'd regret it if we didn't bestie (as we told them at the time) it's just a bunch of furry JPGs that like 5 guys are gonna see

I made a map of La-Mulana! I've tried to hand-draw every nook and cranny of the ruins. There are still a couple things to touch up, and I'm sure I made some mistakes; let me know if you notice any. 💕 drive.google.com/file/d/16JoM...

🦊everyone talks about how Ashe's puzzles in Blobun are the most evil puzzles but I want it known that she also made (or directed us to make) tutorial puzzles too. she was very firm about "it's no fun to kick the player's ass unless they're ready. when they get to my sicko puzzles, they'll be ready"

🦊was posting in a server about how we used to use images to make puzzles in Blobun before we made our own level editor and, man gamedev sure is a journey lmao (also I'm pretty sure this puzzle is impossible, dont even try it) #indiedev #gamedev #gamemaker

🦝trying to figure out how a nonogram game should be sized in a pixel art space where it also cleanly upscales to modern displays while *also* having room for hints is very tricky

🦊sometimes we think about like - people love saving and reposting GIFs - sites appear to capitalize on this - corporations realize they can take control of the GIFs people post now that they're centralized - top result for "velma you stop that" on Tenor has a big Warner Bros logo slapped on it

🦊been laughing like an evil witch for like 10 minutes because I've found out that Godot can import an image as data which can be read by the CPU and isn't in VRAM. I can just take this puzzle Mika made, load it in as data and read the nonogram from it, and that's it #indiedev #gamedev #godotengine
