sometimes I just totally fall off of social media entirely woops. it's hard to balance making games and...literally anything else, tbh.

now you can see your partner throughout the game in #CrinchureCollector! this won't change on vibes mode (because your partner is just fine!) but you can expect some...degradation in the other modes... #IndieDev #GameDev #Collectathon #CreatureCollector #IncrementalGame

FINALLY - AN UPDATE! If you've played, you know a Create-a-Crinchure screen is exactly what #CrinchureCollector needed! next update: Showing you your partner all the time, so you can watch them doing great! (or withering away to nothingness ifykyk)

Ayy 420 followers, nice! I'm still out here grinding on Crinchure Collector - the winter is really hard for me but we might be ready by Spring! Will try to get some posts of the newer features up tomorrow!

#NextFest starts tomorrow and we got our demo approved in time!! Make friends with lil' guys, find swords, bake treats, and collect! #CrinchureCollector #GameDev #IndieDev #Cozy

On December 20th of last year, I decided to make a silly little game as a less-cynical response to some recent gacha games I'd played (particularly, one about cards). After 287 days, we're only 10 days away from the demo release date! #GameDev #IndieDev #VideoGames #GachaGame #CrinchureCollector

Another banger vinyl by @iam8bit.com!! Metaphor is a game everyone should play! We're all stronger for the bonds we share with those who differ from us 💖 #Vinyl #MetaphorReFantazio #VideoGameMusic

there are...a lot of Crinchures in this game...and 30+ more to implement post-demo! not to mention the hundreds of swords, ingredients, treats, and recipes... #IndieDev #GameDev #CrinchureCollector

Been deep in the dev mines and I look up and there's ONE WEEK TIL DEMO BUILD IS DUE ahhh!! #NextFest #IndieDev #GameDev #CrinchureCollector

Can't stop thinking about Knights of Guinevere.......don't send help

I think Silksong is one of my favorite games ever.

Controversial take: Silksong good

Finally hitting a grove again! Crinchure Collector demo will be ready for #SteamNextFest! #IndieDev #GameDev

Ahhh yes… the never ending polishing that barely improves anything for the end game. I guess I’m not the only #gamedev struggling with that feeling 😅. What’s your loop polishing like?

Well there aren't overall ratings for #GMTK gamejam anymore but after averaging all our ratings we ended up in the 2000s'ish out of 9k so really happy with our progress compared to our middling showing last year! Now back to work on Crinchure Collector for Next Fest! #IndieDev #GameDev

Another #GMTK jam down! Our 8th released game 😁 give it a try if ya like card games, it's like "BS"! Had a blast making this! #GameDev #IndieDev #GameJam blushingkitsunebasket.itch.io/gmtk-2025

GMTK2025 has a great theme this year! Excited to be making our first card-based game with a take on Neopets "Cheat" 😁 #GameDev #IndieDev #GameJam

It wouldn't be a #GameJam if I wasn't freaking out that the game won't be functional in time 😭 #IndieDev #GameDev

It's been about a year since I did a game jam and I'm having the best time! Umbrella Counterfeit Simulator coming soon 😂 #IndieDev #SoloDev #GameDev

On vacation but......what about my game though? 😭 #IndieDev #GameDev

Got the main new feature done! Now, to add some difficulty to my cozy game... (Optionally, of course!) #IndieDev #GameDev

"OH! TAKEN DOWN IN A SINGLE BLOW!!" (Including voice crack) Lives rent free in my head. The announcer made this game SO FUN!

"haha sure if someone completes the itch version 181 times, we'll make you a custom Crinchure" ... It's gonna end up happening, isn't it? 😂 #CrinchureCollector #IndieDev #GameDev

Make friends, bake treats, and chill and collect buddies - definitely nothing to worry about :) 🎨 Adorable pixel art 🍰 Collect'em'all - Treats, Recipes, Weird Ingredients™ and Swords for some reason Wishlist now, before this Crinchure nibbles my mitt off. #WishlistWednesday #IndieDev #GameDev

yeah, little kitty, I didn't actually mean it - thanks for the assist! #IndieDev #GameDev #CatCoworker

"what if I wanted to make temporary buffs" - cue 3 hours of blowing things up before it works again 😂 #IndieDev #GameDev

Always bouncing back and forth between "keeping things a surprise" and "I'm so stoked about this game I wanna share everything" ahhh!! #IndieDev #GameDev

For the full release, the Ultimate Soulblades will have unique (but similar) sprites to their base-counterparts. Also improved the Calamity Soulblade effect!!

Crinchure Collector is coming to Steam, and your wishlist means a lot to us!! Explore a post-apocalpytic world to discover new Crinchures and save your partner! #IndieDev #GaneDev #CreatureCollector #Collectathon #PixelArt #Cute store.steampowered.com/app/3713980/...

Looking back at old game ideas and I'm like..."damn I should definitely go work on this wacky idea immediately" My poor current project is crying 😂 #GameDev #IndieDev

Hek, i haven't posted on here in so long! Hope everyone is doing well despite *waves hands around* all this. Posted about a dozen updates to Crinchure Collector since the last post - I'll post some screenshots when I get to the computer!

I'll die on this hill with you, friend!

Been having a blast working on #CrinchureCollector! Working on 🎂 cooking up some new stuff in preparation for our big debut on Steam!! #ScreenshotSaturday #IndieDev #GameDev #PixelArt

Spend two weeks doing exclusively QA/bugfixing - publish game and in less than an hour someone finds game-breaking bugs 😂 #IndieDev #GameDev

After a month of dev, almost ready for launch! 😃 After an hour of playtesting, I've got 50 more things to do... 😅 That's #IndieGameDev baby! #GameDev #IndieDev

Just played @monstercrown.bsky.social for the first time and this has got to be the most underrated game I've played in years. Diving into the breeding system has been such a delight, I can't wait to play more!!

Putting the final polish and bugfixing on #CrinchureCollector v1.1 - The Blade and Bake update will include 2.34x MORE COLLECTABLES! Looking to release late next week on itch! #IndieDev #GameDev

Controversial take (or not): Watching gamedev youtube videos won't help you finish your game. #indiegames #gamedev #indiedev #godot #godotengine #unity #unreal

So close to #CrinchureCollector v1.1 being playable, and I get slammed with the #Unity Magenta Terror because suddenly I have to use a 2D URP shader instead?? Lmao. #GameDev #IndieDev

That is a loooooot of flavor text... #GameDev #IndieDev #CrinchureCollector

Afternoon of the FINAL DAY (of the #SoloDev Marathon Game Jam)! #CrinchureCollector surprise launches RIGHT NOW! Explore a Post-Apocalyptic World in this Incremental Collector! blushingkitsunebasket.itch.io/crinchure-co... #IndieDev #GameDev #VideoGame #IncrementalGame

Show me a badass female character. Judy my beloved

Afternoonish of the 2nd day, less than 48 hours remain until #CrinchureCollector v1 is live! #GameDev #IndieDev #VideoGames

Hmm the #CrinchureCollector game loop might be too addicting, I can't stop playing!! #IndieDev #GameDev

Dawn of the 4th day; #CrinchureCollector v1 is dropping Friday, for freeeeee! blushingkitsunebasket.itch.io/crinchure-co...

I've got one game on itch.io that saves json to the IndexedDB - no issues. Another game, same exact script...just seems like it can't access anything at all? No new directory, can't save anything... Anyone ever figure out a definitive solution to this?? ??? #Unity #GameDev #IndieDev #WebGL

As I was working on #CrinchureCollector, I had the completely unoriginal idea of building up the soundscape as you unlock new areas - even wrote all the songs and got all the pieces done! Too bad audio files are huge and web builds hate them... cutting room floor! #GameDev #IndieDev #SadDeveloper

So, I'm not a lawyer but does this Pokemon Company patent really say only they can make single-player/versus turn-based games? patents.justia.com/patent/20240... Is this not a ridiculously broad patent?? #GameDev #PatentLaw

Writing all this out before made me feel like a mad scientist... now I feel like I've totally cracked 😂 #IndieDev #GameDev #IndieGame #CrinchureCollector the "True Ending" paths!

#CrinchureCollector is officially Crinchure approved! Look at 'er go! #IndieDev #GameDev #CatHelper
