Is there a Japan-only retro game that you'd love to see an English fan-translation for? I now have a suggestion form where you can submit requests: docs.google.com/forms/d/10JJ...

Every year, Luminate releases Spotify data on streaming numbers, payouts, uploads, etc. The data for 2025, released today, shows that a whopping 88% of tracks on Spotify have been demonetized.

I made a tool that makes retro anime sound effects. Meet AnimeVox! I made it for a game, but it's free to use. I'm using the forgotten (but popular in 80s japan) Schroeder reverb algo, and some wobble. If you find it useful consider supporting me on itch :) castpixel.itch.io/animevox

Hi #PortfolioDay, I make 3d environments! ✨️

Gettin’ an early start on this week’s weeklybeat… #chipsky #lsdj #gameboy

I am also open for Logo work - should that be your need ^^ bsky.app/profile/shab...

We're working with Shabello on our indie game Nothing's Ever Really Dead. She's great, and you should be working with her too!!

Hi hi ^^ Looking for Music Work - here's my latest reel! - Indie video games - Tabletop theme music - Any other small indie projects Get in touch if you think I can bring something to your projects! Signal boosts appreciated <3 www.youtube.com/watch?v=HRWa...

We’ve updated the @luxeengine.com website to include an additional section about our philosophy and standards! Generative “AI” is not welcome in our game engine or community, their current incarnation is not compatible with our ethics, standards or goals. We don’t compromise and don’t need to ✨

That's what I'm talking about.

Kyle Bosman's Chat's Stupid Choice Awards 2025. I worked really hard on this and I'm really happy with how it turned out. Thanks to Kyle for fostering and incredibly kind and creative streaming community and for letting me make cool stuff with it. youtu.be/DQV3hCSkGrw

Great people like @shabello.bsky.social and @nhedron.bsky.social were instrumental in this project, providing amazing visuals and helping me figure things out when my technical know-how was lacking. Voice-overs from @wujak.bsky.social, BalladoftheGoddess, and ICKITYACKITYOOP brought it all together.

Remember that there are people who profit from you feeling doomed. So please, take a breath, and cool down. You cannot organise, support, or protect your community if you’re running on solely fear and panic. Steady yourself, share good resources, and remember a clear head is the way to move.

The final day

Attention new users! I've made a starter pack of Japanese game devs, something a lot of folks miss from Twitter. Please flow and re-share! And if I'm missing anybody let me know! go.bsky.app/5R1tEtT

To all the new followers and Twitter expats, hi! I'm Hime (HEE-may)! I'm primarily a solo TTRPG VTuber, but I also play/DM group TTRPGs and APs. I love trying out new indie systems! Sometimes all the rules get a bit jumbled up in my head, though, haha. CROSSED PATHS AND BLACKOATH FAN FOR LIFE!

Haven't used this app in a year. Should I start over and post on here again? I dunno... I never got great engagement. #pixelart

for your holiday reading pleasure: i wrote about why i’m getting back into tapes, and what we’ve lost by letting ourselves get addicted to platforms built around surveillance and instant gratification. 🎶 @404media.co

Anyone know the secret to which tags I should use to boost my art? 👀 I've tried "digital art", "illustration" and "art" already but I'm open to suggestions!

for anyone new to bluesky or just struggling to make their timeline better, here’s my tip: follow a bunch of artists that you like and whenever they repost cool art, follow that artist too soon your timeline will be a steady stream of wonderful art interspersed with news updates on the horrors

Rebuilding the indie animation community here on Bluesky. Please share and also comment for anyone that is an indie creator or team that’d like to be added here and we’re happy to follow and support as well ☺️ go.bsky.app/Hf6oVAY

twitter: new update, every time you post, elon musk is literally going to break into your house and shit directly into your mouth users: that sucks but….i mean i HAVE to stay on there…..

The AI hype cycle is even better than the blockchain or metaverse hype cycles because any functionality can just be rebranded as AI. Background erase in a photo editor? AI. Procgen tools for environ art based on copious pre-made assets? AI. Reactive NPC dialogue? That's an AI. BETTER INVEST NOW

I got to draw a headshot of Nix for the newly released Brawlhalla Tales: Nix. I still love how this turned out and wanted to share it now that the comic is out~

“Öoo” is currently 20% off on Steam! Players say it makes you feel like a genius when everything clicks. Perfect to play during the year-end and New Year holidays store.steampowered.com/app/2721890/...

We spoke to a dozen professional concept artists who are currently or have previously worked in game development about whether generative AI image tools have made their jobs any easier. Zero said it did. Most said it made things harder. thisweekinvideogames.com/feature/conc...

"they don't know how to express the idea" here's rian johnson's storyboard for knives out pick up a pencil and a napkin

It's just immensely frustrating to know how many marketable and monetizable skills I've katamari'd into my skull over the years and suddenly no one wants any of them, and I'm out here losing multiple years of my finite mortal life trying to scrape by just cause one day Pete said fuck em.

Creative solidarity means: If you're a writer, do not use AI "art" or AI "voiceover" If you're an artist, do not use AI "writing" or AI "references" If you're a streamer/actor, do not use AI for backdrops, thumbnails, etc. Never help AI steal another medium No excuses, no shortcuts, no surrender.

Keep making your own shit. Fuck AI slop, and everything it stands for. I want to see the things YOU create; I want see the soul, and heart. Art will always exist; and no prompt by a techbro will ever fucking understand that. #blog #AI #art

Again I say: how fucking interesting that remote work technology is bad and not worth adopting despite all research pointing to productivity gains, but genAI which offers NOTHING is so important to adopt and force on people who have no use for it despite all the horrible things genAI does
