I genuinely never thought anyone would hear this line. I underestimated you deviants...

Finished recording a new format where @mauzbauz.bsky.social and I have a cozy chat about the #indiegames we love. First up is the awesome #indiegame CRYPTMASTER (@thecryptmaster.bsky.social). Make sure to check out our talk with #indiegamedev Lee (@wiwyums.bsky.social) as well. #podcast #gamedev

Time to catch up with 2024 #DevGAMM Awards winners 🏆 Thank you @svenahlgrimm.bsky.social, @agameofjoes.bsky.social, @wiwyums.bsky.social, @jorgegamedev.com and all for joining 🧡

I am enjoying The Seance of Blake Manor an unholy amount. Please don't sleep on this wonderful mystery from the ghouls at @spookydoorway.bsky.social - it's perfect for Halloween.🖤 store.steampowered.com/app/1395520/...

The Seance of Blake Manor is now live on Steam. Check out our launch trailer! 💀 store.steampowered.com/app/1395520/... #indiegames

Why do artists make me so horny? And why are you giggling?

Still looking for someone, haven't found a single person so far (that I can contact). I have a 46-episode script that I need translated. This would be a paid job!

BREAKING NEWS!!! My REAL soulstone has been located by the daring @bottenbig.bsky.social! They even decided graciously not to keep it, figuring its great power was too dangerous for anyone to wield, EXACTLY like Harrison Ford at the end of Raiders of the Lost Ark! youtu.be/2qqilcGfIlE

i was fighting so hard not to give him cat ears #cryptmaster #art

I didn't make a 2024 videogame visual reel because of the strike, so...here, have both 2024 *and* 2025! For any new folks: hi there! I'm Jett, a British-American voice actor based in California. ✨ Masc, femme, and nonbinary characters ✨ Phonetic analysis goblin ✨ Studio specs et al: jettbarker.com

i am not immune to men in robes #cryptmaster #art

An honour to find myself here in such wonderful company!🖤

draw me like one of your undead girls @thecryptmaster.bsky.social #Cryptmaster #artvortex

What is wrong with people?

If you are a #gamedev, #solodev and / or #indiegamedev, check out our show. We have more than 42 interviews with wonderful people sharing your dream of creating games that make us happy. Some of our guests: @wiwyums.bsky.social, @allsees.online, @bippinbits.bsky.social, @sonderingemily.bsky.social

I think they must be purposely leaning in to these comparisons now.

Absolutely disgusted to receive this review which claims my weighty, grimdark exploration of the deepest reaches of the human soul is like "a good stand-up comedy routine".

I've been playing a lot of Cryptmaster recently and man, I am just beyond enamored with it lmao. it's so engaging in solo play but when i play for others everyone really gets into it too!! it has just such wonderful character to it

While it had a strong start, it's slowed down dramatically, which I won't lie has me worried. My "raised in masculinity" brain hates begging for help, but I really would appreciate as many folks as can tune in and enjoy the events I've got planned for the next 3 weeks 😊 www.twitch.tv/squidsena

🌜Dual Eclipse is out NOW on Steam!! 🌞 After 2 years of dev, I'm excited to share this project that combines my love of tabletop and retro RPGs! 🃏⚔️ Please check it out, spread the word, and leave a review! store.steampowered.com/app/3048300/Dual_Eclipse #gamedev #indiedev #indiegame #rpg #steam

As a British person of a particular age, it’s also reminding me a lot of 90’s television. There’s a bit of Knightmare in there (as well as the board game Atmosfear). The sassiness of the Cryptmaster himself also keeps making me think of Richard O’Brien from The Crystal Maze

We're helping to ring in @akuparagames.bsky.social's 9th Anniversary with a special sale for 15% off items in our official Akupara Collection! Save on merch from Cryptmaster, Cabernet, Behind the Frame and more for a limited time: theyetee.com/akuparagames

#indiedev #podcast interview with one of the creators of #indiegame CRYPTMASTER: open.spotify.com/episode/1gI3... #gamedev #indiegamedev

Akupara have a sale right now, and I would highly recommend both Cryptmaster and Sorry We're Closed store.steampowered.com/sale/Akupara...

I keep telling everyone how good Cryptmaster is, and the soundtrack is really good too. 👍 www.youtube.com/watch?v=z66G...

Akupara Games has teamed up with the overwhelmingly silly, unfathomably clever 🖼️ @JoeMcRichardson ! We have wondrous plans for: 🙏Four Last Things ⚔️The Procession to Calvary ✍️Death of the Reprobate 🚀The Preposterous Awesomeness of Everything

If you are missing the dulcet tones of Hugo Myatt AKA Treguard, you may be interested to know that he narrates my game and performs as Orthos the Spellmaster! It was a tremendous honour to work with him, and I rarely say that of anyone...

Ok I figured out what Cryptmaster is. This is The Phantom Tollbooth for metalheads

All card games inside another game are simply called gwent. You differentiate them by saying the main game’s name and then “gwent”. Really enjoying cryptmaster gwent

New Episode 🎉 We had the pleasure to talk with Lee (@wiwyums.bsky.social) one of the creators of CRYPTMASTER (@thecryptmaster.bsky.social) As always have fun listening and share it with your friends (and enemies): open.spotify.com/episode/1gI3... #gamedev #indiegamedev #podcast #indiegame

Check out Cryptmaster if you haven´t done so already - it is a wonderful game made by wonderful people!

‘Love is for the ones who love the work’

Even before LLMs, it was an eye-opener to be involved in hiring junior writers. I was amazed how many had no writing samples and their attitude was like "How can I have samples if I haven't worked on a project yet?" as if only the certainty of having something published would compel them to write!

Finished editing @mauzbauz.bsky.social ´s talk with the wonderful @wiwyums.bsky.social about his and Paul´s #indiegame Cryptmaster. Had a blast listening to their conversation while editing and hope you guys will too! New episode starting Season 6 will be up soon! #gamedev #indiegamedev #podcast

Going to carbon date myself here.

Why Reading Online Reviews Of Your Books Will Lead You Nowhere Good: the-villager.ghost.io/why-reading-...

Later today @mauzbauz.bsky.social chats with the Cryptmaster crew (@thecryptmaster.bsky.social) to kick off Season 6🎉. Again, fueled by pure passion with no ads or sponsors. While I hurry to get it edited for you, go play Cryptmaster! www.openindie.eu #gamedev #podcast #indiegame

I wonder if anyone has yet realised that the latest update to my game contains a clue to the location of a REAL prize in a REAL WORLD location? The clue is written in plain view, though not in black and white...

The wonderful people at @devgamm.bsky.social posted this interview with my minion @wiwyums.bsky.social. (If it's a medical complaint that is making him shift constantly in his chair then he should know that his policy only covers injuries received below ground.) www.youtube.com/watch?v=hhhE...

We've got @xmgrantvo.bsky.social as Morgan, @wiwyums.bsky.social as Aston, and @taylorsconfused.bsky.social as, uh...Elliot...? Let it be known that all 3 of the above made me lightly smack my desk at least once whilst re-QAing [in-game] Nov 1-Dec 31, going "Augh, THANK YOU for your proficiency." 🤣

I think I'm going to book this tapir experience but I just hope he doesn't rub too hard, I have quite senstive skin.

My game has been cruelly reduced by 30% for the Steam Summer Sale. This is ruinously cheap and an affront to my dignity. Please help by gifting copies of the game to all your friends so they can see for themselves how disgustingly low this price is. store.steampowered.com/app/1885110/...

I’m Kicking Myself for Sleeping on ‘Cryptmaster’ for So Long. Don’t Be Like Me, Play This Typing Roguelike Right Now https://twp.ai/4ioksf

demanding every person i speak with play cryptmaster PLEASE

Another fun adventure in Cryptmaster and we took down SO many people in Whatever 😤 Thanks to @eternalmoonmist.bsky.social , @sharkpaladin.bsky.social and @lynxyg.bsky.social for the raids!! We raided along to @jinxperegrine.bsky.social who is hanging out chatting atm 💖 Go show faer all the love!

I may not be good at typing, or spelling, or riddles, but I still had a great time with Cryptmaster. Maybe my VODs can be that final push you need to play the game yourself? Here's part 1: youtu.be/uLqOrXXEYoM

@thecryptmaster.bsky.social has been out for over a year, has been reviewed >1500 times, was my GOTY 2024, and just released its Anniversary Update! It's also out on console now!! I own a physical PS5 copy. ☺️ bsky.app/profile/akup...

With the strike suspended, I feel obligated to repost (resurrect? "Ariiiise...") the "Ulara response" I wrote to Vitus' diss track in May of '24. I first posted it on the other site (with the blessing of a very accommodating @wiwyums.bsky.social) as a "500 reviews on Steam" celebration. …enjoy? 😆🦇
