The caterpillar is a prisoner to the streets that conceived it...

100 followers! To all the new people, hello!! I'm chickensio, an aspiring indie dev who loves doing game jams. You'll see me mostly just posting games i make more than progress videos / other stuff cause I haven't gotten used to that stuff yet and prefer just making stuff. Glad to have you around!

Any time a creative turns to this tech, they are saying "I do not respect the people who do this thing. I do not value their creative contribution to my vision. I think they are so worthless, they can be replaced by the machine that ate their work." It's not surprising this is seen as hostile.

My friend needs some feedback on game design for his university course. He has a cool video about it. It would be much appreciated if any of you want to check out a cool mechanic and give some feedback on it! youtube.com/shorts/Cruny...

Thinking of shifting to mastodon or smth cause of the pro-ai stance bluesky has that I got to know about... Also the fact that bsky can just pull the plug like Twitter did. But none of the people I like here are in mastodon 🙁

I completely forgot to post about a game i made in 2 days for the global game jam! it's about cleaning up rooms and places of murder as a minimum wage employee for ✨ The Murder Hotel!✨Play it here!! microwavemipha.itch.io/ggj-themurde... #gamedev #indiedev #indiegame #godot #indie

been playing @kenney.nl 's MakeRoom recently! really cute game and I love the things that i can make with it! It is overall a really solid and powerful room decoration / creation game. I do have some suggestions and feedback that I will post when I familiarize myself with the game a bit more!

I keep getting ai slop corpo posts in between the many inspiring indie game dev progress posts and it's so infuriating

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

I was in multiple rooms at GDC where management of games studios let their hair down and said "everyone's using it, gamers hate it so we just have to hide it now", but none were actually able to explain if and how AI were making games faster to develop or better at all

if only there was a way to explore tone and atmosphere in the early stages of production without using AI :(

Made some fan-art for an upcoming video game by one of my favourite small youtubers! @addyvalentine.bsky.social. Very excited to see how this project evolves and turns out, good luck with Gun Nose! #gunnose #2dart

just saw this amazing video by @freya.bsky.social : youtu.be/-opBifFfsMY?.... really puts into perspective how much more dangerous all this slop is 😭 one can indeed only hope the bubble breaks and everything gets better some day

When you message a large creator online that inspires you and they REPLY to your message it is the BEST FEELING EVER

thought about too many cool ideas for projects that would take WAYY TOO LONG 😭 hopefully soon

youtu.be/2LyCorvdyzo I MADE A VIDEOO ABOUT SCOPINGG

I got a drawing tablet for the first time in my life earlier this month, started learning digital drawing! This is one of my first completed pieces! I made this for a friend who is super obsessed with tenna and also worried about exams ehehe idk what hashtags to use for the art uhhhh #art

Let the people you love know that you love them, even if they already know. In this age of atomization, it's more important than ever to cherish the human connections we do have, and share the compassion we can. Merry Christmas, take care of yourself, and happy holidays.

made a game for a 2 day game jam! this was my first time working with a team (of 5 people) and also first time travelling and living at a different place for the jam duration. It was a lot of fun! #gamedev #indiegame #gamejam #indie www.youtube.com/watch?v=Voo_...

I was gone for a lil but now I'm back 🗣️🗣️

Just make it exist first, you can make it good later. the original idea for my game mirrors came from 5 years ago from a week long game jam. I then worked on other projects and then one day decided "hey this idea was really cool lets work further on it!" #gamedev #indiegame #indiedev #freegame

just got this lovely indie game, will be trying it out in a few days. so excited for it!

Made a trailer for my GMTK jam game! www.youtube.com/watch?v=cSZz... #gmtk #gamejam #indiedev #indiegame #gamedev

My mobile game MIRRORS is OUT on play store!! it has no ads or microtransactions, and is free to play! check it out if u have an android! play.google.com/store/apps/d...! #gamdev #indiedev #indie #freegame

Made a game for the GMTK game jam! It's a 3D puzzle game with infinitely looping rooms, and a cute cat! 🐱 check it out here! chickensiodev.itch.io/the-looping-... #gamedev #indie #gmtk

made a lil devlog for a mini project! youtu.be/KAo1xPMjEXI?... this whole game dev youtube stuff is pretty new to me so let me know what y'all think!

Made a cool 3D model for a friend!

It's absurd and dystopian that payment processors get to decide what we can and can't see on the internet. That companies like Visa and Mastercard can use their enormous size to bully companies into taking stuff offline - based on the reactionary politics of a small group.

My game 'Mirrors' is coming to android in a week! (NO ADS) I will keep you guys posted on when it comes out! it's a really nice puzzle game which tests your brain and is quite rewarding. I am excited to see everyone try it!👾💥💥
