I don't like the trend lately of "heyyy see we made a sequel to [legacy IP]" and then it's just a different game entirely

Been reading Tsukihime, I think she's neat :)

The other day we managed to effectively half how long world collisions take in BUDD and I'm still happy about that

Figured I'd share a bit of steam review insight on the horse game server inspired by this 🫡

I worry that sometimes I yap so much about video games that somebody's gonna see my games and call me a hypocrite because my games have the exact same things I yap about

🐭anyways we still need a lot of help paying this year's taxes despite us making estimated payments so if itch is so afraid to depart with our money/you already own blobun, we can always just use direct support on kofi haha ko-fi.com/gfxsql

I hate when some nerd says "You just don't like [new entry in franchise] because it's not like [old entry in franchise]" Yea? And? When the pizza place stops selling pizza I think I get to be at least a little grumpy that it's not selling pizza anymore.

I always feel a lil giddy when friends get art of their characters and it's based on refs I drew for them

After yesterday’s doodle of @engineerkappa.net Kappa from Crystal hearts I felt the urge to draw Lan again.

STEAM: store.steampowered.com/app/3957840/... ITCH: mr-freaks.itch.io/strato-freak... Live from the USC, it’s Strato Freaks DX: A Normal Demo. You and three friends can clash underwater, soar over lemonade, rescue rainbow monkeys, and chase crazy combos! Now available on Steam and Itch!

Finally, the new Prototype N demo is out! This is a massive update as the game has moved to a new engine. The game can now also be played on higher refresh rates too! Demo Link: arrietty.itch.io/prototype-n/... Changelog: arriettylunaris.neocities.org/posts/PNChan... #indiedev #prototypen

Hii, rent seems like it's going to be tight this month, so I'm going to drop this here if anyone wants to help. Any bit would be appreciated 🙏 ko-fi.com/engineerkappa

There are a lot of metroidvanias that would really be better suited as a linear action platformer, imo

This is a weird pet peeve of mine, but I'm not a fan of when pixel artists "chibify" characters that aren't meant to be cute? If we're talking itty bitty RPG sprites then whatever, but sometimes I see it applied to beat em ups or higher res cutscene art and it doesn't feel intentional

It's a lil funny to me how some games let you mix and match totally different (yet related) difficulty settings Mushihimesama for example: - Arcade Dipswitches - Normal/Maniac/Ultra mode - Port exclusive Novice/Arrange/1.5 modes - MAX shot type in 1.5

Any time a large corporation announces some stupid new product it feels like a form of attention pollution

I should post more things that aren't 30 minute scribbles but i haven't been drawing too many things that aren't commissions for people lately

love doodling the girls

i feel like a problem i have playing any sort of Dark Souls adjacent game is when I spend so long chipping away at an area and finally beat its boss I just feel... satisfied No need to keep playing, I already beat the Guy that was giving me trouble, the narrative arc is over, gg

My next game "Endless Monday: In Progress" is coming later this year (probably)!! Penny and crew are off on another adventure, thanks to your love and support!! 💙 You can wishlist here! -> store.steampowered.com/app/2627590/...

The booth is opened! #MAGFest2026 #MAGFest

Arcade games are so cool......

2026 is the year we become an annoying pretentious hipster about video games

Trying Dariusburst CS on my janky multi-monitor setup and this is cool as fuck??? The game was clearly designed for a single ultrawide monitor and not two monitors of very different sizes, but it's kinda fun trying to mentally connect the dots and track hazards between screens

I think something I want to do in 2026 is finish the comms I owe people right now, then actually start a patreon for both art and gamedev

Animal Crossing 1CC

For some reason it always fascinates me seeing open source software license info in commercial products Especially these in two specific modern retro games (Earthion and the Genesis Mini Darius port)

Finally beat the true last boss of ZeroRanger This game is so good

This goober's goober: Christmas flavored.

Getting more strong urges to rant about game maker changing esoteric things my game relies on

Brrrrr

“Now’s your chance to become a fan!” #elpheltnation

Been playing a lot of ZeroRanger and thought these dorks would look good in green and orange

Rock Paper Scissors is really boring to me as a mechanic in video games and I feel like it's the biggest thing that bothers me about both Mega Man and Pokemon

Thinkin about ZeroRanger again 💚🧡

Something I love doing in arcade games is jumping to the highest difficulty or skipping to the next loop to get a taste of what the game's like at its most unhinged

This feels like cheating, steam

Just spent nearly 3 hours playing through all of BUDD earlier trying to write up a gigantic list of dumb nitpicks I want to change

I'm the type of girl that buys any type of game collection and dumps all her time into just one game

REMINDER: for january's patreon poll I'm picking out of people's submissions. Please do it through this form forms.gle/YTgn3Tdbak2T...

A very Saturn Christmas Patreon comm for @arrietty.itch.io

I firmly believe the best way to design anything is to come up with the most unhinged version of it possible, THEN sand it back town into something reasonable The sanding is inevitable, so If you try to come up with something reasonable first you'll just sand it down to a nub

I think there are some characters that work way better as blank slate player surrogates than trying to turn them into actual characters But at the same time that feels incompatible with modern franchise games that have to overexplain their plot, characters, and world with cutscenes

I kinda miss passwords in games Obv dedicated save files are better in almost every way, but it's cool having a physical way to store game data that you can share and copy freely
