Took me a while, but I'm glad that it's done. I thoroughly enjoyed Silksong and made this to celebrate! #art #fanart #HollowKnight #Silksong #SilksongFanart

I'm about to shit my pants.

Spooky...

Pumpkin :]

Recently had the opportunity to build 3 demos to demonstrate the power of game feel!

Now I am invigorated. Even as you watch. Validated by your hate. Energized by your anger. Revitalized through spite. Question me if you must. Useless to even bother. I've chosen this path forward. To vocalize that I can. -Stubborn Nickfire29, 2025

the draw aint drawing

As a game devs we tend to be sedentary, that’s why it's always important to P.E.W.W! P - Posture fixing and stretching E - Eye reset W - Water drinking W - Walking or light exercise Check out the thread for my hints :) #gamedev #indiedev

Have graduated from 'not getting on social media in the morning' to 'checking phone while making breakfast'. Making progress, just not certain it's in the right direction.

Want to know a secret about game design? 90% of it is just *writing things down*. And yeah, there's a bunch of other work involved in ideation and testing, but that stuff also requires writing stuff down. None of it is real until you write it down. #gamedev 🎲✂️

Happy Silksong day to all you Hollow Knight fans!

Finally after 7 years of waiting (+ an additional 2 hrs because steam had a stroke processing the sheer amount of people trying to get this game), THE SKONG IS REAL!!

the itch / Drivethru alternative will be an iterative process. Especially when it comes to marketplace laws. But, I think I have the foundation in place to make a “hub for creators” Website, blog, digital sales, subscription, donations, forms, newsletter, links. how does that sound to y’all?

Seeking alpha game testers for our upcoming 3D Metroidvania game, Pergamon! Set in the ruins of a fallen civilization, Pergamon invites players to explore a richly crafted world filled with secrets, challenges, and mysteries. #gamedev #indiegamedev discord.com/invite/bKjt6...

I personally feel like “it’s complicated” is not an excuse for silence. If we want games to be treated as culturally important and an artistic medium then you have to engage with these issues. We can’t just have groups that advocate for games when they make a lot of money (for who, I might add…)

"Rules-lite, shoes-lite, flavour-heavy TTRPG. Southeast Asian fantasy. Flavours include cloves, gingers, and pepper." I've just released Kala Mandala Playbook! Pay-What-You-Want on Itch. I hope you like it! heycentaur.itch.io/kala-mandala...

I'm about to start watching this show called Fullmetal Alchemist with a few friends. I've heard some good things about it and it sounds right up my alley. From what I've seen the show has a dog in it. I'm a fan of dogs and can't wait! #FMA #anime

good news; NASA found your mom

Doing Lego stuff and I honestly don't know that's going on here.

Me prototyping: Haha yes!! Making games is the best!! Me mapping out all the UI needed to make the actual game: I've made a huge mistake.

In gamedev, we joke about how we shouldn't care so much because "we ain't curing cancer" so chill, right? But you know what? These last few weeks reminded me that the Arts, esp accessible Art like videogames is incredibly important because games have a big place in sculpting cultural norms.

Well, seen as I'm going to be committed to this thing, I believe introductions are in order. I'm Explosives101, and I make games. I'm invested in every step of game design, from prototyping to art to story. I'm still learning and will continue to learn as much as I can about games and game design.

Thanks for 100+ followers, I guess? I haven't posted or even updated my profile until now. Where did all of you come from?
