I made a video essay! It's a love letter to 3d software crammed in between several hate notes about 3d software companies. Maybe it can be something you put on in the background while you do art. :) www.youtube.com/watch?v=I4md...

Check out the progress of our first 3 days of #jamsepticeye compared to the final version! Try Darkest Deal here! v v v onyxprism.itch.io/darkest-deal #indiedev #gamedev #gamejam

We made a game for #jamsepticeye! Really came down to the wire on this one. onyxprism.itch.io/darkest-deal #indiedev #gamedev #gamejam

Oh boy! That was a roller coaster. Just finished our game for the #jamsepticeye game jam. After 5 days we did it! You can play in browser, so no need to download anything. Let us know what you think! onyxprism.itch.io/darkest-deal

Top Gnome is now officially out of Early Access! Haven't been too active on here for (mostly) this reason. Took way longer than it had any right to, but that's just how it goes in gamedev I guess? Anyways, check out our game below! store.steampowered.com/app/2499080/...

I have a small design rant I want to spend a minute talking about, as it goes with a conversation I just had with @onyxprismstudio.bsky.social on the subject of studying games. From time to time, I see people talking about games that had an overnight success like Vampire Survivors or Palworld...

I had a great conversation with @onyxprismstudio.bsky.social that we're going to continue for a podcast, and one of the points that is so important for developers to understand is how difficult and vital it is to get playtesting done and to understand what people are saying about your game.

Top Gnome is officially out in Early Access! It's been a long road, still tons of work ahead of us but this is a huge milestone for us and our studio @onyxprismstudio.bsky.social ! Check out the game and try out the demo here! v v v store.steampowered.com/app/2499080/... #indiegame #gamedev

Did you know? Top Gnome works really well on the Steam Deck! #gamedev #steamdeck #game #indiedev #topgnome steamcommunity.com/games/249908...

Layering things for the shop animations is nuts. Its kinda funny how the shop screen is the single most involved thing in the game, yet the most rushed through thing by players. (NO micro-transactions, just in-game earned currency) #gamedev #game #indiedev #topgnome

@dnbc32.bsky.social Talks about games that blew up with no marketing. For #gamedev #indiedev #indiedevs #solodev, follow her about marketing!

One of the cool things about making everything in house, is that you can make any font you need! Saves a lot of money on licensing. #fonts #gamedev #indiedev

An interesting thing we have noticed about our game. Once you get used to the mechanics and "git gud" it behaves kinda like a mental fidget spinner. People with ADHD seem to be able to focus in conversation better, including the devs :)

The Animation Guild Petition is so frustratingly close to 60,000 signatures! We have been delivering these signatures DIRECTLY to studio executives. We are going to win a fair contract this negotiation! Please sign and 📈BOOST📈 and #StandWithAnimation! Thank you!✊🏻 actionnetwork.org/petitions/sh...

I find confident decisions comes from one of two places: 1) Prior experience and mistakes 2) Reflecting your thoughts off of others If you don’t have the former, seek the latter. (cont.) #gamedev #gamedesign

Amazing resource for anyone doing UI, or are just curious about game UI. #gamedev #ui gameuidatabase.com/index.php

Life tip: Nobody is stopping you from putting a dot on the top of your USB cables It takes 1 second and saves you trying both sides and somehow only plugging it in right when you look at it

Tried out some of my old pixel art in my 2.5d project. #indiegamedev #pixelart #gamedev

I'm always happy to cover indie games and interview developers on my channel, and if you would like me to review your steam store page, I can do that as well :) #indiegamedev

Hi! I came to blue sky to spread the word about a game jam all about blind accessibility! Help me spread the word about this wonderful project! #gamejam #Gaming #Accessibility #Blind itch.io/jam/games-fo...

So what do we call "tweets" now? Suggestion: Flutter?

Leaderboards work now in our indie game Top Gnome! Surprisingly not as difficult as you'd think to implement. Steam does most of the heavy lifting in that regard. Link in the replies for those interested in our game! #indiegame #gamedev #gnomes

The funny thing is I basically never used Twitter (I refuse to call it X), and despite just starting here it feels so much better to use. So I'll be much more active here as a result. Expect a lot of programming and gamedev nonsense coming from me for the foreseeable future.

Fun fact! The sound for eating a heart fruit in our game came from a walk in the woods. I found a dried, hallow oak apple, and crunched it into the microphone. It was the first sound I tried for that SFX, but it turned out to be the best. #indiedev #indiegame #gamedev #gnomes
