Any graphic/UI designers can explain why this actually looks kinda great?

being an adult is looking at a game concept like this and thinking "this rocks actually. I bet it'd be so satisfying" Actually, hold on. Why the FUCK don't we have roombas that we can drive wirelessly with a game controller? Maybe even slap a camera on it, so I don't even have to follow it around!

This is a very 90s main mechanic. I mean that EXTREMELY positively. The 90s/00s had these games where the main mechanic/concept just made me ask "why?" but then gave me so much fun that I forgot the question entirely. It's kinda like the feeling of reading Douglas Adams

the pilot is TINY AAA A A AAAA A A

This is the most N64 I've ever heard a modern N64 game sound. Huge props to the sound team They even nailed the weirdly complex, incredibly funky and jazzy music!

oh YEAH i know the name now!!

really interesting game with a REALLY nice cause behind it

i love this example of how even "basic" anims like walking can still show the character's personality. it could just be a walk, but no! It's a boxing-like step, which helps sell that Kyle is a FIGHTER. also, it's almost more of a skip, which makes him look agile and most of all, energetic +

Some sound design practice! Animations by @otsoga.bsky.social valeu mestre! My last few contracts were pure Music, so I'm happy with the result here, especially for a 2h session

this is very good mindset for any artist tbh. I had an artist friend who'd send me her art and legit say "tell me what SUCKS about it". Her art skills grew REALLY FAST once she started doing that

I guess one "advantage" of having ADHD is that it's pretty much impossible to lie to myself about this, so I learned it VERY quick.

A few revamps on the action system, especially how cover works. This time, anyone (in this case, Beryl) can take cover behind Hazel who acts like a wall in this game #ScarletRecord #緋色の記録 #indiedev #gamedev #indiegame

always love to see artists who can make 16x or 24x sprites expressive. There's something so neat about it

Some of my recent work for a deckbuilding game! It's fun because i SUCK at that genre, so most of my test comments are "i keep dying"

Mom, I'm on TV!

This is... at the same time depressingly true, yet oddly hopeful? It's sad we have to unlearn so much, but it's awesome to find out that some of what we think holds us back is just not real

fun fact about us sound designers: A surprisingly big part of our brain is solely dedicated to figuring out "why is this satisfying?" ANY time we hear a cool sound

"Hunting yokai in cyberpunk Tokyo" is probably THE coolest game premise I've heard of in a big while

It's always awesome to see devs playing with established mechanics that are usually taken for granted... or, in this case, replacing them entirely! It's so common for us to think "shooting game = boolet countin" that something like this just feels impossibly fresh

Have I ever mentioned that I LOVE games with TINY sprites? Because I LOVE games with TINY sprites.

the thing about being a Game Audio Guy is that it enables me to do niche shitposts like this

fun fact, this is actually what I look like when swimming.

Just listen to the glory of those synth car engines.

I'm so used to most genres of games having humanoid (or at least animalistic) player characters, that even seeing something like this just throws me for a loop I mean, it's a platformer, right? Kinda?

unexpectedly excellent elevator pitch

Its my birthday so you have to wishlist my game, play the demo, and repost this :) #gamedev #indiegame #indiedev #screenshotsaturday #pixelart

good ol' Almam Visualizer <3

I have no idea what this beef is about, but fuck yeah

I don't have the proper words to say more than this now but I was just laid off. My role at Giant Squid is being eliminated. If your studio is looking for an environment artist, please let me know ASAP. I have 5+ years of experience. thank you

I wish this was me, cuz coffee actually *relaxes* me. Even makes me sleepy sometimes.

the ever fascinating Weirdly Philosophical Pixelart RPG genre keeps getting new additions and I'm here for it

man, this is actually REALLY fun! The mechanics are simple but easy to get, and yet levels can get really tricky

"I made a game with my kid and IT'S GETTING PUBLISHED" is a pretty awesome parenting move, not gonna lie

music is boppin too

wait, the 3D platforming is THE BATTLING SYSTEM? The overworld is isometric 2D??? This is so cool!

THIS IS SO GOOD?????

!!!!

i want to make something

i'm small idiot, but also funny business

when your cousin finds a METAL RIFF you wrote together 10+ years ago, and your ongoing bass hyperfixation tells you to SLAPP it UP

i log into twitter – 6 notifs, all bots i log into bluesky – 20+ notifs, all people ...geez, guess I'm jumping THAT ship soon

dirty slow bass – a musical experiment made in 1 day inspired by @darkwebstreamer.bsky.social

I feel like I need to tap the sign cause I keep seeing people trying to "dunk" on hateful peeps on my feed. This ISN'T TWITTER. Please don't make it into it.

useful info for people *looking for* game devs, too. Thanks!

The combo of hybrid turn-based (with the parries) and combat dialog is SO GOOD. I say this way too often, but it's because it's true: People take turn-based combat for granted, but it still has a LOT of interesting design space to explore!

I made a new video! This song's a bit old by now, but I'm still really happy with it. youtu.be/OwCM0T9hLuw

My issue with stealth mechanics in ttrpgs in general is that they rely only on one kind of action, usually named /stealth/ and make the process very dull and uninsteresting while other parts are more involved, you can have different skills for diplomatic interaction, combat is usually the mainpart

The music on this trailer is SO nice. More games should have theme songs. I don't mean "main themes" - I mean THEME SONGS. With lyrics and stuff.
