i don't spend a lot of time on bsky, but when I am here, it's to block a discord's worth of bad commenters pestering my friend. i love blocking all the people who liked a bad reply and seeing ALL the bad replies on my friend's post disappear at once. like immolating a hive of wasps. i see you fucks

I hire Bruno as often as I possibly can. He's great at giving extremely actionable feedback as directly and helpfully as possible. If you're writing your own indie game for the first time, there is nobody better suited to give you advice (and a taste of real live professional editorial)

Time for another one of these posts: I'm a narrative designer/writer with 8+ years of experience, including at a lead level. I'm available for short- or long-term contracting on: - Writing; - Systems, narrative, and economy design; - Design or narrative consulting; Full credits: brunodias.dev/bio

maddie came out of officeworks with a suspicious roll of card stock under her arm but it turns out it was merely ORDINARY BUSINESSMAN LITTLE LION (shown with monty for scale)

DIY Skin Deep papercraft cats 🐱: blendogames.com/news/post/20... You too can make a cat...!

You should play Skin Deep (a video) 📼: youtu.be/S795oPGKaEU

It's been very interesting to see the way some people react to the cats in Skin Deep. Normal people seem to be like "haha, nice." And Blendo fans know the cats are part of "the IP" and expect them. But some people are like "the moment I saw a cat!?! I assumed this was cringe, but it proved me wrong"

You heard it here first (and so did I): Skin Deep is horror adjacent. Thank you for the kind words

Skin Deep ($15.99) - an immersive FPS, and i mean 'sneezing can alert guards' immersive. you're the 'insurance policy' on a starship, and the means of protecting it against pirates is endlessly inventive and incredibly funny. a fantastic comedy stealth sandbox. store.steampowered.com/app/301280/S...

The Culver City protest was nuts. Covered what looked like more than 4 blocks, crowd spilled into the street, No Kings organizers gave up, everyone marched in circles, front rank proceeded down the street to block even more traffic. Lib grndma demo fully activated. This summer will be very cool :)

there's a men's streetwear brand we've been seeing a lot here that causes maddie and I to immediately enter silly goose mode and go "nina pasadena mentioned??? skin deep mentioned??????" whenever we spot it

Was glad to be able to talk about Pill Baby - a game which is short but feels absolutely massive, crammed with combat systems, side quests, expressive art interludes, hideous enemies, slow-mo kills, and intense stuff about what it's like to be an immigrant moving to a wealthy country for work

The Mod Museum has some great shit in it. Even if you're not planning to mod skin deep, it's a wonderful little glimpse into what the creative process of level design was like for this team, what things they did invisibly to polish the environments, and so on

Mappers (especially those familiar with the Doom 3 engine, or The Dark Mod), please descend upon this game like a horde of locusts and produce endless funny cat rescue scenarios for me.

shortly before Skin Deep's release, I had a lengthy chat with @ghoulnoise.com about composing the soundtrack! we covered everything from the game's Bond-style theme to inspirations for its corporate propaganda songs to Snow's cat's cameos in the game

this was such a fun interview to do!!! please check it out if you're curious about the music of Skin Deep!

The newest adorable member of my scale model video game goo shelf is the Walkie Talkie item from Skin Deep. It's roughly 1:4 scale, but that's just a wild guess because it's a fictional object to begin with.

I have been working on this game for years and rolling around on the ground is still so funny to me that I have to watch a video of it every time one crosses into my field of vision

Skin Deep (2025)

… precious cargo tumbling through space / a hundred thousand miles of journeys pass before your sleeping face / vicious pirates, a creature without name / they’ll come with guns or gleaming claws/the outcome’s the same / in cryo …

I've never gotten many notes on my releases (in the past I barely promoted anything for fear of annoying people so this isn't surprising) Anyway, the fact that there's two on the Skin Deep ost already makes me 🥹 If you've got a favorite tune, leave a note! ghoulnoise.bandcamp.com/album/skin-d...

sometimes in skin deep i walk in front of a ship’s repairbot just to hear it say hello
