"we used AI as a placeholder we swear!" you absolute fool you weakling you pathetic excuse of life i use a 16x16 stickman my friend drew like 15 years ago for a joke as a placeholder that is named spr_FUCK in the files because his name is FUCK and that's the way it should always be done

hi there! you're probably wondering where the hell i've been! and that's totally fair, i sure did drop off the face of the earth after releasing the SAGE 2025 demo of Thunder Edge. so, long story short, i burnt out pretty hard after releasing that demo. (1/3)

(cont.) the idea of working on Thunder Edge after releasing the demo felt like a daunting ordeal for me, and on top of a lot of crazy life stuff happening, i just haven't had the time to do any form of game dev stuff, so development kinda went into super development hell/unintended hiatus. (2/3)

(cont.) i basically haven't touched the game since september 2025 because working on it just... stopped being fun. but lately, i feel very refreshed and ready to get back into development! soooo, expect more updates soon! thanks everyone for your patience 💙 (3/3)

For their first project, my Kids and Society students have to create an infographic clarifying a common misconception about "kids these days." I'd prefer that they not use AI to create their projects, so I made my own infographic explaining why : )

DEADBEAT, the AFTERLIFE SOULSLIKE, is FOUR DAYS away from release! :D [On the underside of the Hereafter are rickety silver platforms, dangling over a yawning absence. Things wait in that quiet darkness.] #gamedev #indiegames #indiegamedev

i like when a video game just lets you throw a fucking brick at someone peak game design honestly

hi everyone! i haven't spoken about my game Amazing Treasure Valley much in a while. i am still making it! here's a small airport i just redecorated. Jean Jetbird can carry you to new places in the valley.

hey wait what the fuck

i make sand think hard enough to turn it into Entertainment then cry when it refuses to think because i made a typo somewhere

For the last post of 2024, here's a preview for how the sprite of this experimental unit will look. Hopefully will have it animated soon next year! This enemy can teleport either herself or her individual limbs to attack from diverse angles and make defense more difficult. #pixelart #gamedev

2024 in review! #artsummary #2024artsummary #spongemagicart #2024art

trans people deserve disjointed normals and meterless reversals

This one time I was in call with my friend and we had this exchange "It's too bad Nintendo hasn't made a sequel to Tomodachi Life." "We can just make our own." "...You're right"

It seems Prototype N's latest demo (v4.9.0) has hit 7k downloads! Woahhhh! Thanks for playing my game! Download breakdown: Itch: 5,907 SFGHQ: 1,019 HTI: 79 Thank you all!!! The game can be played here: arrietty.itch.io/prototype-n

AT THE DRAFT OFFICE IN 2063 Draft Officer: So, is there anything that would preclude you from service in the US Army? Me: I'm too gay to serve. I can't stop sucking dick. I'm transgender. Draft Officer: [Stamps MECH PILOT on my form]

Cave Story being 20 years old is wild. The influence that game had on indie games is MASSIVE. I certainly wouldn't be working in games if I never played it back in high school.

This game influenced my character design, my storytelling, my music. Even the name "UNDER TALE" sounds very similar to "CAVE STORY"... If you haven't played it, you should. You can play the original version for free! www.cavestory.org/download/cav...

i should probably explain my absence over the past month or so, oops. so, i've hit a pretty nasty case of burnout recently. that, combined with me preparing for a massive move from texas to new jersey is, a lot! so, it hasn't left me much time to work on thunder edge.

happy 20th anniversary to my favorite game of all time!!!

I'm so frustrated with Bsky dropping the ball for like 3 weeks straight at this point. And it's really @aaron.bsky.team who is responsible for all the blunders. If he keeps fumbling at this rate, he's going to burn the company to the ground. The guy is a walking liability. FREE #JUNI, FIRE #AARON
