Happy 10 Year Anniversary to a little indie game known as Rivals of Aether. Who knew it would grow into a franchise with 6 games across 5 platforms. We even made a comic at one point and to celebrate our anniversary, I'll post the first issue for everyone to read :)

SAGE2025 has begun and the Snoutbreakers alpha demo is now out! Go download and play it, we put a lot of work into it! sonicfangameshq.com/forums/showc...

Official Statement on the development of #KilaFlow ???

the answer to the mystery here is that the mainstream games industry does not select for or even permit the existence or development of real talent, so of course outsiders are gonna blow AAA shit out of the water

Galvan has been announced! Here are some early sketches of the heavy lad

At SGDQ til Saturday, promoting @chaokocartoons.bsky.social's upcoming game Kilaflow! Feel free to stop by and check it out!

Dreams of Aether is 50% off ($1.50) on steam store.steampowered.com/app/3463050?...

if i can be y’all’s dad for a second: one of the most important things I’ve learned is that acquiring a skill is literally uncomfortable that awful moment where you feel confused and stupid and embarrassed? it means you’re about to learn something. and it’s *mandatory* if you want to get better

PARADROP IS OUT - Use tactical drops to win an island war in this micro RTS. Destroy bases while avoiding anti-aircraft guns and enemy air support. Take on 10 missions in an epic campaign, or challenge another player in battle mode! #paradrop #gamedev #godot #godot2d #indiegame #rts #browsergame

playing wildgate with friends, and whenever its been a while since we checked on the ship or see borders, we call it "checking for lemon whores" so i doodled this.

tried to make a era-appropriate trailer for my THPS inspired fish game

TODAY: @zenimaxworkers.bsky.social members have authorized a strike. "If Microsoft and ZeniMax continue to demonstrate at the bargaining table that they’re unwilling to pay us fair wages for the value our labor provides to our games, we’ll be showing them just how valuable our labor is.”

PARADROP 0.5.0 ok NOW you can play it on your phone this update adds mouse and touch support, as well as actual fullscreen support

hello all, i made a free game! factoroom is a short, cozy automation game where, after escaping from medically induced hopelessness, you're tasked with building up your room to make enough money to free yourself from the shackles of debt i was the lead designer! link in replies

lead your fellow rats to the safety of the sewers, but watch out for the cats prowling the city! you can play rat alert in your browser, and it takes about 30 minutes to beat

As I'm working on this, it's time to reveal my Phase 2! If you're curious what I am making for VR, join the Discord! discord.gg/znncuzEcyn

Check it out on Steam: store.steampowered.com/app/3463050/...

The free period is over, but Dreams of Aether is still 20% off for a week! $2.39 USD is a little less than $80, right? If you already got it when it was free, give your friends who missed out some gift copies! It's like a candy bar but better for your diet. store.steampowered.com/app/3463050/...

As you might have guessed, I worked on the steam/cover art for Dreams of Aether! I also did a lot of pixel art that you'll see in the various styles contained in the game. Feel free to try to guess which ones were mine! Cetain ones won't be very tough to guess i think :)

This game is led by our friend Giik and his team at Lepioid with music by flashygoodness and RESOFORCE. Punch, Flap, and Swing your way through the dubiously-canon story, and see how far you can get in endless modes! Check it out on Steam here: store.steampowered.com/app/3463050/...

found it on my phone thank God

i see we're posting videos for real now

we caused an ecological disaster in rollercoaster tycoon today

🥰

Howdy! It's been a while since my last post! Since then, we've passed 500 followers! As a thank you, have roughly a minute of vs. Tonfa gameplay. In tuning her she's become slightly easier, but that doesn't mean *easy*. Also, 99% of Aggroha's spritework is now done. Seriously, only 1 sprite left.

fun fact: if you draw fanart for a game within the first week of any sort of major PR event for it (announcement, demo, release etc) there is a 99% chance the entire dev team on the game knows who you are because they are doing nothing but reposting fanart in slack

Ex-Amazon Gaming VP said they failed to compete with Steam despite spending loads of tons of time and money "We were at least 250X bigger ... we tried everything ... but ultimately Goliath lost"

Art made for a Rivals-inspired Balatro texture pack! :3c Made these in two days but I don't want to burn myself out so I'm probably going to take a break. [ #roa, #roa2, #rivals2, #balatro ]

Robot Learns to be Human: Overdone, usually supremacist (under)tones, assassinates a character and makes them the 6th samey member of a k-pop group except chrome. Robot Is Just Ontologically Different, And Characters Grapple With That: PEAK, existence is a tapestry, humanity is not assigned.

In a mysterious world that updates in real time...set up a town, keep the sky lit, and sell things to strange visitors. Settlemoon is 50% off for the Steam Idler Fest!! Designed to not be addictive, you can set it up and leave it alone for hours. Get it here: store.steampowered.com/app/2443780/...
