the burning of orkney - my favorite piece I did for @stoutstoat.co.uk's Carved in Stone!

Carved in Stone is officially out! In this comprehensive setting guide you'll be able to see, touch, taste, hear and smell your way through everything that modern-day scholars currently know of the enigmatic culture of the Picts, from the perspective of someone living in the late 7th Century.

This game is absolutely gorgeous, I’ve been avidly watching the layout evolve and there are two page spreads in here that made me gasp aloud with delight. If you’re interested in playing games in settings that predate the medieval period by a good margin, run don’t walk to grab a copy

Carved in Stone is HERE!!! @archaeonado.bsky.social called it “the best book on the Picts ever written,” so you should definitely check it out over at www.stoutstoat.co.uk/carvedinstone 🏺 #picts #archaeologysky #rpg #ttrpg #indiettrpg #dnd #pathfinder

every artist should learn to draw old people. learn to love it, even. folds and face planes and weight. save yourself some trouble and find the beauty in it cuz we'll all get there some day

Tactical Breach Wizards is 40% off in today's Daily Deal! The cheapest the wizards have ever allowed us to price them. To celebrate, we've added a community missions pack, featuring some great ones players have made since launch. store.steampowered.com/app/1043810/... .

we're starting to wrap up on the first build! we're only missing music, polish, testing, and maybe hitting some of our stretch goals 😎 here's a look! #renpy #fvn #furry

Although all Wizards are required to choose and be part of an Institution, there are some that have grown too powerful to enforce any rules upon. Some of these Wizards reject not only rules, but Society entirely.

Was missing doing stuff in the fauxnimated style so here's this heavy from a kind of Verhoevenian shlock type of setting. I may end up using this guy again down the line

I will say this: a lot of new folks are clinging to a nostalgia for ‘getting a publisher’ as a marker of validation, of being a ‘real game’. And I’m here to tell you that’s bollocks. They need you more than you need them. If they can provide a service, awesome, but you hold the means of production.

oh hey, that's my art (please go check out this project -- it's so cool, and has tons of incredibly skilled and varied work in it about a culture rarely discussed!)

I wrote a massive TTRPG setting guide encyclopaedia about the ancient Scotland and the Picts who lived in it. It covers everything scholars currently know about life in the 7th century, from landscapes to kingdoms to faith, magic, settlements, and so much more. Check it out! carvedinstone.scot

Earlier this month, on September 1st, Spelkollektivet turned 8! Now, 4 weeks later, we are celebrating our anniversary with a Steam Sale featuring games that have been made at Spelkollektivet! Check it out here: store.steampowered.com/sale/spelkol...

i have a lot of fun picking apart my writing for this game to have funny stares and silences instead of whatever it was before

got off my ass today - the illustration tab on my neocities now actually has images! i'll maybe eventually update it for personal project work stuff too, sometimes it feels like i sit on a hoard of art for no good reason gyrium.neocities.org

anyone know of some good upcoming VN jams? preferably month long ones but i'm flexible

Hey this is really fucking dire! Keep calling Stripe. This aligns with nothing they've previously told us

why is doing things with a brace on your dominant hand so hard. pretending the answer is not the obvious one

After 5 long years of development, Dice Gambit is finally out! I cannot stress enough how excited, anxious and overwhelmed we feel right now! Thank you so much to all of you. We are so proud of this game, and I hope you will enjoy it too! 🛒 store.steampowered.com/app/1812860/...

no more hyping my stuff before its out, we all have to sit in austere silence and meditate on the third formless jhana so we dont form any expectations or attachments ok?

this feels like maybe a long shot, but does anyone know (or know someone who might know) of any good resources, academic or not, about historical forms of scholarly or governmental debate, especially outside of the western idea of it?

hi guys, my friend maisa and her family are trying to raise 1k in 8 days before their fundraiser closes. i just donated €20, can anybody match me or share? www.paypal.com/pools/c/9gnU...

i hate being a career artist because it forces me to consider the things i want to make as products and my time as money (time being a fluid concept as i'm a freelancer). i want to do things because it's fun or because i believe in it, and i want my art to be art first and product second

i have a lot of "dream game" ideas but one of them is part VN, part language translation puzzle game, part debate strategy, part investigation, part... (looks at notes) census data puzzle game??? all in a big stupid fuckoff fantasy world with historical influences. who's "scope" i don't know her

I'm down in the cross referencing and hyperlink mines on Carved in Stone so y'all get another teaser of the book

Finals are filtering in for Carved in Stone over the next week. I've been very quiet recently because art direction has been 3 months of non-stop crunch. But it has been so, undeniably worth it. Cuisine was the first actual topic we wrote for the book, and @joutp.bsky.social brought it to life

SLEEPING LEVIATHAN A late start to #shadowvember is better than no start, right? Trying to wring a full HK/Dragonfall-esque cRPG pitch out of the limited lore Vancouver gets. Hopefully this is the start of something neat, cause I have ideas. [ #shadowrun | #cyberpunk | #illustration | #art ] 🐦

i NEED to draw weird bug people. but first. i need to stop being employed

INDEMNITY SIGNAL is a print-and-play puzzle escape room where you need to consult a manual to figure out how to send a distress signal via signal modulation. It got first place in Spelkollektivet's Midsummer Game Jam! PLAY IT IN YOUR BROWSER: gyrium.itch.io/indemnity-si... #indiegame @itch.io

Happy #makeaterriblecomicday2025 everyone!

and now you can play in your browser! it took 10 builds for shaders to compile properly and also for the game not to be a laggy mess whats up

turns out a somewhat complicated ~1 hour long information puzzle experience is a tough thing to playtest at an in-person jam, but i'm so glad people gave it the time they did. to all the people who played through the whole thing, you're the world's strongest warriors

our game is done yippee it was fun!

me? in a game jam? and it's NOT a visual novel? it's more likely than you think

mushrooms

does anyone even remember this game #beyondgoodandevil

someone very kind likened the writing of our game to earthsea im gonna go cry

So some goobers convinced me to concept a dark fantasy dating sim So here we go. Concepting out the villain that tried to save the world

hey! we've opened up a discord server, if you wanna keep up with the game and other stuff we do, join us 🎉 👉 discord.gg/hmykTvH2S9

If you use AI you’re accelerating climate crisis, polluting deprived communities, burning through water, giving bosses excuses to reduce workers rights and wages. It’s a moral and ethical degradation.

it feels very good to be closing in on a final art pass! enjoy some of the main guys' sprites

shoutout to marxophone for somehow being ediction's best fanartist ever despite being the first and only person to be one at all
