Drawing is easy. Coming to terms with the results is the hard part.

Absolutely love Hablet on @play.date. Best $3 I’ve spent in years.

making games is great because you can make a source file called "caves" and it's all algorithms for generating caves.

Unsolicited Monday game dev advice: When getting started for the week, try to find easy wins. Fix small bugs or add little bits of polish. This helps get back into the groove and gain momentum for bigger stuff later in the week. That's it! Hope you're having fun with your game 🛠️ #indiegamedev

Brother Gregor never spoke and often spooked the neophytes with his appearance, but he was a gentle soul and a phenomenal cook and knew more ways to prepare a fish than the abbot knew hymns

Since I’m doing both art and programming for my game, I get to not only violate decades worth of computer science findings about code design and architecture, but also blaspheme centuries worth of study and understanding of perspective! #doublethreat

Tonight I’m rewatching Dreamwork’s Prince of Egypt wowie never realized how stacked this cast was

Kurt Vonnegut’s definition of what makes something “art” is one of my favorites I’ve seen - from a letter to his brother in 1995.

I BREAK MY POSTING SABBATICAL TO BRING THE NEWS THAT HABLET HAS PASSED 1000 COPIES SOLD!!! THANKS TO EVERYONE WHOS AGREED TO MAKE A DEAL WITH THE CONCIERGE!

Hablet patch 1.15: Fixed duplicate buildings appearing and disappearing. Fixed placing a building too fast causing a crash. Entropy system update, if one building is dilapidated, it will continue to erode until it is ruined before a new building will erode. Submitted to catalogue and Itch!

if i do sufficiently thorough people watching, i'll finally figure out how to be

In an old interview once featured on the Pac-Man fansite, Pac-Land, Toru Iwatani expressed interest in creating games that make people cry. He elaborated that he would like to envision a dramatic game that would provoke emotions beyond what gamers (at the time) were used to.

Unpopular personal take. Given the, like, hundreds of great looking indie games I want to play, I'd happily pay the same asking price of the longer version of the game for one that is no more than 4 hours long.

Working on adding more info to the town labels... Now you can see how many turns before babies are due! in a 4X game!!🤪 #IndieGameDev #tilesettuesday #gaming

- games are more expensive now to make than ever - Obsidian doesn’t really do layoffs or crunch. They treat their employees well and find new projects for them. - Game Pass is always an option - Game studios are in HCOL locales - $80 should be the norm for full-length AAA-budget games.

did not buy a treat and was richly rewarded with free office cupcake

Hablet is a daily-habit, city builder where you spend a few minutes every day to build building a little town with the help of the enigmatic Concierge! Careful though, let time slip by and the city will begin to fall to ruin. play.date/games/hablet/ 🏗️

Early Hablet wips This project I learned that narrow window of #pixelart resolution where pixel art becomes more time intensive, (about an 80x80 sprite) not abstract enough to save time drawing, not high Rez enough to make individual pixels accuracy unimportant on #playdate Catalogue in 3 days!

Japanese game cover design is widely admired by players, a true craft they have perfected over the years. In an effort to make their product stand out, many studios explored a more tactile range of materials. The resulting effect is as amusing today as it is instantly nostalgic.🧵

It’s feels illegal for Andor to be THIS GOOD
