Fellow creatives. Please. Going into the new year. Give yourselves some credit and remove the "aspiring" part of your bio. "Aspiring" voice actor. "Aspiring" writer. If you're working on being the thing? You ARE the thing. You may be aspiring toward a certain goal? But you ARE the thing. <3

Hello again! ~ I guess you all know why we're back here today 😭 Anyway, I hope you have a lovely Christmas Eve!

Here's how to support human artists! 🎨

Rolled credits on Hades II! Amazing game, definitely GOTY in my book. Takes the formula from the first game and just gives you MORE. Art style is gorgeous, soundtrack slaps. At 50+ hours in it's still hitting you with new, fully voiced dialogue. 10/10. #Hades2 #HadesII

The game I've been working on, The Forbidden Flask, is out on Steam now! It's not perfect, but it feels pretty good to finally have it out there. Check it out and let me know what you think! store.steampowered.com/app/3243410/... #gamedev #indiedev #indiegame #godot

Over the last couple of days I've updated my Godot Starter Kits to support 4.5! ✨ It was a blast, I kind of forgot what a breeze it is to use @godotengine.org. I can really recommend it, you can see all my kits here: kenney.nl/starter-kits

If you happen to be canceling streaming services for whatever reason, maybe throw a few bucks to a creative's Patreon or Ko-fi. Many have monthly tiers starting as low as $1, which may not sound like much, but if they get enough sign-ups, it could be life-changing money for those living on the edge.

Recent pics from the Highland Renaissance Festival + Warp Zone game night with the friends I'm making a game with. 🎮 The Forbidden Flask is a medieval tavern sim where you serve drinks 🍻 and brew illicit potions (just don't get caught when the guards make their rounds 👀).

if you wanna make video games as a career you have to enjoy the process of making video games. its not enough to just enjoy the end result. same goes for most types of creative works

The honest reason I don't have microtransactions/season pass/ads/100 DLCs/etc in Balatro isn't just about the ethics of those practices but because when I play other games that have those things it makes me want to put my computer in the dishwasher and set it to pots & pans
