The team behind Beast Breaker broke the industry wall for first unionized studio and I'll be forever grateful for that. Go buy the game!! Extremely fun, was incredible on the Switch and proceeds from this go directly back to the OG devs as well

Our friend @blankmellow.bsky.social made a great breakdown about the game mechanics for our little BB www.youtube.com/watch?v=jfMC...

"I'm glad you changed your last name, you son of a bitch."

Watching Shirobako really makes me want to get behind the pen again.

I was in the middle of saying "I feel like Maruchan is lower quality than the cheap ramen I usually buy." When I discovered that they vacuum sealed an individual package to the larger package I had purchased. Enjoy 4 photos of the bulk package dangling from the single package.

We're watching the Shirobako movie, and in what has to be a reference to an episode ABOUT USING VISUAL REFERENCES from the main show, they've decided that her bike just looks like that and we are all laughing so hard. What a call back. They love this show so much.

Hey, what exactly are my taxes doing that isn't blowing up children in the middle east or building a gestapo? I'm not really feeling any actual benefits from this particular societal contract.

For those interested in preservation - Krugman here has been tirelessly dumping games basically nobody knows about, especially previously undumped eroge and adjacent games on PC98. He buys and repairs moldy discs to make it financially viable. It's a lot of work, so check out his stuff!

I FIGURED IT OUT! I FIGURED OUT WHY I LIKE THE BEAST BREAKERS OST SO MUCH! It's BASTION. It's got that same beautiful "Industrial Bluegrass" aesthetic. It's rustic and modern at the same time. It's mixing old and new instrumentation. Oh, I've longed for a second album of this genre. At last!

Just a little more Beast Breakers. I can quit anytime I want. twitch.tv/wobblypython

Deploying ICE at airports is to normalize their transition from being a special operation targeting immigrants to being an entity that polices all. This is the production of the American Gestapo, one institution at a time.

Birthday Boy's note: It is not my birthday currently, that was a couple weeks ago. Just getting around to unwrapping my "gift".

For my birthday I got the "affected by atmospheric pressure changes" status effect.

Hi #wishlistwednesday! Our little game Beast Breaker comes out tomorrow 🎉🎉 Find it here: store.steampowered.com/app/4011790/...

Whew. Folks continue to do some gorgeous stuff with the UZDoom (formerly GZDoom) engine. www.doomworld.com/forum/topic/... There's some baked lighting going on here (soon to be a stock feature in UZDoom) which pushes it beyond what you'd expect normally.

everyone who got a max plush: don't miss that there's a cute li'l backpack in the package, too 🎒 a friend of mine almost threw his out by mistake that's something i would do between two pages, yes... but it doesn't have to be what you do too 🫵🙂

okay so AI is absolutely cratering imminently and I need all of you to PROMISE me you won't take the high road, and will laugh and rub it in their faces as much as possible. I need you to laugh and go 'WE TOLD YOU SO, BITCH" at every opportunity, PLEASE be extremely mean and ruthless

YO! The devs of Beast Breaker gave me a key! It's a game about being a mouse! Maybe with a sword! And you fight monsters via Billiards? I'm not entirely sure what's going on but it's very cute. twitch.tv/wobblypython

this is how much room for discussion there is, thank you for understanding 💖

old.reddit.com/r/ABoringDys... If y'all aren't finding another guy you aren't getting into office.

I sent what I could. America is absolutely fucked for medical stuff, and I can confirm both that this is real, and that Skele is nice to me. Not being blind in *both* eyes is a pretty low bar that I feel like we should try to clear for a friend.

Holding hands and singing showtunes with the nice new people I meet on Tau Ceti IV.

....well I should've figured the cool new Flash alternative? vibecoded AI slop made with Claude, ie chat gpt with a less embarrassing veneer what a goddamn shame. The actual flash is available to download and run as abandonware these days, here: animatearchive.neocities.org?home

I've been staring at making this post for the past three days. I don't want to have to post this. But everyone's telling me I should. And they are right, I cant afford the surgery and recovery myself. I need help. gofund.me/974875c0c

Rebecca Ford, the community manager now Director of Warframe, is the voice of The Lotus, probably the most voiced character in the game. It was solely because there was no budget at the time to hire big names or professionals. She still is the voice. There are so many options, Indie or not.

post a non-religious picture you think of as holy

This is rough *pre-alpha* footage of our tactics prototype. We got a fair bit of basic gameplay implemented. Battle scenes are missing lots of details and animations etc. The idea was to re-create advance wars gameplay first, then drip our new mechanics into it after. #gamedev #pixelart #tactics

This is @nuclearhog.farm when they're handed the bunny.

I bet you anything that the dudes hating on Marathon's unique visual style don't know that ancient marble statues were painted very brightly.

www.twitch.tv/dr_dubz I just realized I haven't posted a stream today, but I'm here blowing up my good friend and you should be too

I *know* my audience loves a novel mechanic and a little bit of genre bending. This looks incredible, and also adorable.

Wamt.

in nightmare kart the narration text between each level was originally planned on being voiced, but we ended up cutting it for time / resource reasons. because of that, streamers started reading the text aloud in their own voice that they felt best fit the vibe. it was beautiful. theres no excuse.

Yo thanks for hangin' out! We met a lot of real nice people on Tau Ceti IV! We also blasted a few who attempted to choose the path of violence. We also loaded up a whole new Snake shell just for Marathon! Hope y'all had a good time, cuz I did!

WHAT IS GOING ON? Maybe these cool books I found in an old VCR will help. We're gonna' read from the new Marathon Codex. Let's sift through everything I've unlocked. Let's read! twitch.tv/wobblypython

Waves of Steel, my silly naval combat game, is in the Steam Spring Sale! Build your own battleship, kickflip over torpedoes, and go to ramming speed! #indiegame store.steampowered.com/app/1482750/...

This is why I unapologetically tell the economics students to change their major to something respectable.

This is why I despise the AI slop machines, it has fundamentally changed how I engage with art and entertainment which I now must meet with skepticism and scrutiny, something I never had to do before, and I resent it.

This was easier to do than I thought it would be.

Man, blender EEVEE was so good before the people who want fidelity over speed got ahold of it. Go the fuck back to cycles and waste your life rendering. Leave me the fuck alone. I wanna render hot and fast!

I've seen gameplay of this. If you wish the Super Metroid's breadth and scope was presented like Original Metroid then this is one for you. Looks like a real good Metroidvania.

Man, statistically, if you crawl into my inbox because the task of being a well socialized adult is too big for your britches to handle, you run a 100% chance of getting blocked. Happens every time. My batting average is unreal here.

Not much to show this week, been working on the boring stuff: action prompts, sound management, menus... still, the UI is taking shape with the area titles! #gamedev #indiegame #megamanlegends #adamantheart

@microprose.bsky.social I just looked through your steam pages and I cannot believe how many apparent bangers you're working on right now. store.steampowered.com/publisher/mi...

Met a cool dude out riding my bike and got reminded that the sunset is cool. Then I failed to take a picture for y'all whoops!
