Saw this coming a mile away, also rest assured that Little Nemo and the Nightmare Fiends is totally AI-free. Flip wanted to express his thoughts on AI in-game, but we couldn’t allow that much swearing without torching our ESRB rating #indiedev #indiegame

Join us tomorrow at 12 PM EST for an exciting announcement of our upcoming game! youtu.be/rVEWbp1FiKg

Got a lil' bit fed up with myself for how much of my output lately has been fanart, wanted to try making something that was ENTIRELY me for a change. Hope everyone enjoys my new son as much as I do 🌱💙

Is there like a guild or co-op or something for indie game studios where they can join up to work on work for hire contracts that pay out to all of the member studios so that there is continual work while each studio can work on their own games at the same time? Is that a thing?

Have we mentioned we like Lumines?
