Friend made this. Tried early build, kept me up all night. If you like Lynch and expressionist cinema, play this. Santaragione are also good eggs and for this to have happened is pretty shit. Can pre-order here: www.gog.com/en/game/horses

C'est toujours un plaisir de participer à l'écriture de ce jeu et de lire les supers dialogues de mon collègue @gioborrows.bsky.social ❤️ En plus avec les nouveaux chapitres c'est la saison des fleurs et des premiers amours

I shall be coming to Adventure X btw... If I'm allowed back in the country. We got that ticket

We got a demo!

We have an open beta!

Very happy to announce that The Abbess Garden will be part of Indie Assemble (store.steampowered.com/curator/4471...): a large Steam festival with a lot of hidden gems you probably never saw before (I know about max 5% ^^) My game: store.steampowered.com/app/3411970/... #indieassemble #indiegames

Looks like Gmail bundled their normal event extraction that had been working well for years, with useless Gemini AI services. Can only get one if agreeing to the other. Aggravating.

Here we are! Wishlist and repost greatly appreciated. Wonderful project by Edwige that I'm fortunate enough to be writing. It's got real historical characters and plants. All sprinkled with spy drama, queer romance, and monologues equating blooming calendulas with class struggle.

Announcing a game today. Be prepared for loads of posting, reposting and all that.

Yay! The showcase date has been announced and The Abbess Garden will be part of it! I'm so happy and excited!🌿 We will have a "developer spotlight": present the team annd share gameplay videos of the game! Thanks #dames4games 💖 #indiegame #cozygame

I'm testing the winter vibe in The Abbess Garden! I didn't want to cover everything in snow as it would make gardening very difficult ^^ What do you think? #cozygame #indiegame

Worse part of moving is having to admit I probably won't need all these boxes

Dinner

To start the year peacefully, I went back to The Abbess Garden by drawing plants for the in-game botany book this morning ✨ (and some programming ;)) The book fills itself when the player discovers a new plant's stage over their exploration and months🌿 #gamedev #indiedev #gardeninggame #abbessgarden

I don't care it's the 2nd of Jan and we supposed to be "back at work". Stop writing me emails and messages and demanding my attention!

On one hand I'm sorry life bullshit and slowing down on socials got me to lose touch with mutuals not in my area. On the other I'm quite happy not to know what all the fuss is about yellow, beyond being used in games obnoxiously, sometimes.

So what I'm gathering is that this Mangione trial is a gender-flipped version of Chicago.

I don't suppose anybody remembers how to speed-run nook points in Animal Crossing NH? The 5yo niece is enjoying it, but I'm not gonna force her through dealing with the exploitative racoon just so they can live in something nicer than a tent.

Violence is never ok, even toward billionaires that are destroying society, we must rely on our democratically elected leaders to address the underlying issues that caused such figures to reach politically influential positions. Say no to violence. 1/2

Working on the gardening gameplay, adding some watering animation. Very WIP, but it's progress! The plants on screen are calendula (marigold) and senecio (groundsel) 🌿#indiegamedev #gamedev #abbessgarden

After years away from game dev, I couldn’t stay silent about my people’s dehumanization. I made Dreams on a Pillow 🍉a game inspired by a famous Palestinian folktale about the 1948 Nakba. I’m crowdfunding it now—please back & share! 🔗 launchgood.com/1948

Lyla and the Shadows of War was one of the games that convinced me to get in the industry in the first place. Happy Rasheed is back at it. If only it was under better circumstances. www.launchgood.com/v4/campaign/...

Started Arcane. Profoundly in love with them VFX.

Taps the Desk, as he's read this a couple of times in the last week.... If someone says writing barks is easy... they are doing it wrong. It's such a kneejerk thing to say and it just isn't true. I have read bark sheet after bark sheet that's derivative and unengaging. Where the writer has gone-

We're making a pretty little thing. An historical gardening game. Follow Edwige for all the news and newsletter.

People are actually following over here. It's time for the hard-hitting content.

Incredible talk by Matteo Lupetti. The book is only available in Italian, so this is the best one can do to experience it.

Today's day is going: made hot water and forgot to put tea in before drinking the whole thing.

Last time Trump happened I made a game about effective resistance But like many others I don't really have it in me this time Stay safe if you're there. Get out if you can. Brace for shits and bullshit and meaningless violence wherever you are People are still being genocided and it'll get worse

Nice to see this place busy up. Will it stick? Or we're just too spent by shitty socials to attempt ẽ̵̡̲͘ṉ̸͑̀̚g̷̬͋̊͠á̴̠̚g̷͇̗͑ẻ̴̪͖̦m̷̫͓̊͐͝e̵̦͍̔̋n̶͙̉t̴̬̽́ in a less shitty one?

@ozone.birb.house Hello! Game dev and games educator here. Please and thank you.

I love freelancing with many different teams at the same time. The most annoying thing about it at this point is how the many different tools and services each uses log me out in the weeks between a work session and another.

Oh, hey I can post photos here. This is gioborrows.itch.io/frozen-assets in Milan for Zona Warpa. Should have kept count on how many rich people were eaten. But we're talking 150 at least. Including some 16 by children. Which is just healthy parenting.
