If you played, and enjoyed, my silly cat detective game, I'd greatly appreciate if you could give it a thumbs up on Steam! store.steampowered.com/app/2945150/...

why did, of all things, a shoelace site hit me with an intense wave of nostalgia i used to lace my chucks in all sorts of weird ways with this site, shout out to ian, the goat

Support indies! 📣 Summer Sale is going for a few more days! ☀️ Check out my recommendations of incredible games ⭐

Tim Sweeney is fantastic, he serves as perhaps the most universal industry enemy for everyone to look at and say “shut the fuck up, you dumbass”

In the pursuit of hitting a big milestone on "Feline Forensics" sales, and more importantly, in celebration of all the other AMAZING indie games you can get right now during the Steam Summer Sale, here are my personal recommendations~! 🌞

Have you ever wanted to be a cat in a suit, serving as the detective of a murder turned museum heist, uncovering injustice but also the harrowing effect of capitalism on creativity? Omg, that's crazy, I have the game for you, and it's 15% in the Steam Summer Sale: s.team/a/2945150/

Until July 6th, you can get my cat-tective puzzler 20% off and DRM-free on itch! It's a better cut for me, and a better deal for you~! 🖤🔎 itch.io/s/190959/sum...

You can now get a DRM-free version of the game on itch! It also supports me way more, with a much better split than Steam~! 🖤 nobodycrown.itch.io/meowseum-mys...

I have it on good authority* that the crash was actually because I released “Feline Forensics and the Meowseum Mystery” DRM-free on there nobodycrown.itch.io/meowseum-mys... *: my fictional reality based in zero facts

how quickly do you think Capcom would sue me into oblivion, and would that be a good marketing strategy ⚖️ (for legal purposes, this is just a fun design exercise) #indiedev #gamedev #indiegames #gameart

It took me 2.5 years to do it, but I released my first full game on Steam a month ago. It's about a cat detective solving a murder and a heist in a museum... I think it's neat. You should purchase and play it~! 🖤🔎 #indiegames #indiedev #gamedev

i wanna make stuff that inspires people to create fan art.

I'm Eric, and I'm looking for work! 👋 Design, writing, art, code, sfx; I shipped a game having done it all, but it didn't hit its targets, despite glowing reviews. Times are tough, trying to keep the dream alive, and also pay rent! Please share! My DMs are open! 💜 #gamedev #indiedev #indiegames

My early impressions of Saros: If I was a protagonist in a sci-fi story, I would simply not put my hand in the Whatever That Is™️

Final Fantasy Tactics? Really good.

This would’ve been a wild cross-promo with “Feline Forensics and the Meowseum Mystery” which also features animal characters and artwork, but alas, we live in an unjust world 😔

It's not an Akira slide, but I hope the poster will do. Here's to Blight Club: Space Ace - only 40 minutes left! @giantbomb.com @danryckert.com @tolkoto.com @grubb.wtf

Went another couple days without posting because I was too busy overhauling the puzzle system. Thanks to some valuable feedback, and a bunch of work... fill-in-the-blank puzzles now accept alternate solutions! 🎉 Details are in the patch notes: store.steampowered.com/news/app/294...

me: oh, weird they’re announcing this so early me, approx 30 sec later: no, wait, fuck

The last 3 years are gone. I made a video game. The last 5 days went by in a blink. I released a video game. People loved it. I fixed it anyway. I woke up today knowing that nothing needed my immediate attention. I cooked breakfast. I can let my wrist pain heal. I hope I can do it again. 💜

I didn’t post about Feline Forensics (or how it released just a few days ago) because I was too busy fixing bugs, adding features, and patching the game for the third day in a row You should play it, it’s getting better (literally) every day: s.team/a/2945150/ #indiegames #gamedev #indiedev

I’m doing an AMA right now on Reddit about releasing my first game! Come ask questions! 🔍 www.reddit.com/r/Games/comm...

if you want to play a puzzle game made by not-an-absolute-asshat, well, it’s called “Feline Forensics and the Meowseum Mystery”

And for everyone's listening pleasure, here's the soundtrack! It's perfect background music for writing a Steam review, don't you think? 🎵 youtu.be/xKtLjdyVUQo #indiedev #indiegames #gamemusic

Thanks for the review, Thinky Games! Much appreciated. 💜

okay, fine, they beat Feline Forensics’ concurrent player count, but who really could have seen that coming? (congrats @unknownworlds.bsky.social go get those bonuses)

In puzzle games, how much struggle is satisfying? 🧩 It's not always obvious, and design decisions are never universal! The answer is, as it always should be... just let the players decide. Put an option in the settings, and those that want it, use it. #indiedev #gamedev #indiegames

they already made a trilogy’s worth of games, it was the 20 hours of gameplay known as Alien: Isolation
