The Totemist is amazing. Definitely check it out. Here's my game! It's called Meander. You draw with crochet stitches and decorate your work in the scrapbook! Try the demo and wishlist: store.steampowered.com/app/4714860/... #ScreenshotSaturday #indie #gamedev #art #crochet 🧶

Think I forgot to share that time I had a bug #portraitpaintergame #indiedev #screenshotsaturday

Audio really does make things better🔊 #portraitpaintergame #indiedev

Demo now has gradients, brush references and more options for custom brushes! Try the demo: store.steampowered.com/app/4714860/... #indie #gamedev #art #crochet 🧶 #ScreenshotSaturday

Why use AI to "visualize" when simple doodles on paper is enough? #portraitpaintergame #gamedev #indiedev

Well, this sucks. Set up a linktree just a couple days ago. Deleting and replacing with this I made in 5 minutes. Will prettify it later~ apirateh.at/links

The Finnish translation for my game is now done!🎉 Thanks to @hcpingviini.bsky.social who helped me out with this. I'm super grateful!🙏

Today's Bluesky image problem shows the importance of alt text. There's a setting which makes it so you can't post images without it.

Just got off the phone with IKEA support. I'm amazed at their ability to not help me whatsoever.

Jugué la demo este finde que pasó y está muy divertido, agreguenlo a wishlist y reten a sus amigues para ver quien lo hace mejor... o peor xD sin tableta eh!

YouTube seems to be nuking this one, even after a reupload :/ Views/likes/shares appreciated! I put a lot into it 🫶🏼

This almost worked, 1 remains😂

Things are happening!

I'm sorry, for me personally it's just not enough.

More gradients with custom brushes. Haven't actually working on the game in a while, while I've been focused on the steam page. Missed this. Wishlist the game or try demo: store.steampowered.com/app/4714860/... #indie #gamedev #art #crochet 🧶 #godot

My friend made a stream where you can watch his potato grow, it's amazing! potatis.fnk.ee

I'm 5 wishlists away from 300! If there's anyone you know that would enjoy a relaxing painting experience consider telling them about my game🖌️🎨 store.steampowered.com/app/3917260/...

😍

There was some interest in this so I put a version on itch. apiratehat.itch.io/simple-font-...

Been working on a simple font viewer in #godot on the side. Was unhappy with what I found when looking online, most of them seemed to be web-based. I just wanted a quick and easy way to look at several fonts at once.

Okay here's what I'm thinking: I think a lot of devs had trouble getting reach during Next Fest due to the large volume of content. I'm gong to host a "jam" on @itch.io to let people submit their demos. Then we'll take over the homepage to showcase everything to give creators a second chance.

Progression on one of the final areas I have to finish for my game. #portraitpaintergame #gamedev #godotengine

From how it looks right now, it doesn’t look like my game will be a financial success. I never expected it to be, but had hoped for some better wishlist numbers out of Steam Next Fest because I believe it’s somewhat of a competently put together game. 1/5🧵

The flower pot found its home

The budget for my game just exceeded 1 million dollars.

🚨Appreciation Post Alert!🚨 Want to thank @murderveggie.bsky.social and @johnnyrebeck.bsky.social for streaming my game during Steam Next Fest. Go follow them! It's so valuable as a small solo developer, and as someone with a niche game, to see there was some interest in what I am making🥰

#SteamNextFest is over - But the demo remains! store.steampowered.com/news/app/391... #portraitpaintergame

I don't like this response. I'll start with my conclusions and reply with details. No, I'm not leaving Godot. But no, I don't agree with this.

Portrait Painter: A fun and freeing game that has you copying paintings to fill a museum. Encourages play and creativity! Make your own palette, choose from a selection of brushes, and even paint whatever your heart desires in creative mode!

OKAY YALL HERE IT IS: Next Fest & Chill '26: Summer Edition MEGA THREAD! 🧵 Check below for blurbs about the demos I dug and links to the games!!! (Repost to share lots of cool indie games 😎) ⬇️⬇️⬇️

And here are my wishlist numbers on the last day of #SteamNextFest

My AI problem is not the "slopification". Accepting AI is allowing companies built on copyright infringement to gain more power over everything and everyone. There are big ethical concerns that are too many to fit in a single post.

So cute!!😍

Was sent this awesome painting made in Portrait Painter by @omegawolf42.bsky.social!!! It's so good!😍

The @bevy.org engine team correctly recognizes the issue is one of copyright and licence compliance and therefore bans all contributions beyond intellisense autocomplete stuff as a matter of legal safety, which is something that every FOSS maintainer should internalize more.

I've been feeling a bit down about the low sales of my game since release, but waking up with a review like this makes it all worth it. Hopefully, I'll reach out to more streamers soon and I'll be able to get more attention to the game, while I start working on the next one! #gamedev

Disappointing, will definitely reconsider using Godot for my next projects. Wish Godot had a much stronger Anti AI policy...

LIVE NOW! Checkin out some co-op stuff with friends and community!! ↘️⬇️↙️

Please go wishlist my game so it can be a financial success which in turn will enable me to buy more indie games and art! store.steampowered.com/app/3917260/...

My game is taking part in the #SteamNextFest! Use your skills as an artist and help an art museum close to bankruptcy by painting beautiful portraits! 🧑‍🎨 Or paint freely in the creative mode!🖌️ store.steampowered.com/app/4641510/... #gamedev #godotengine

i feel foolish. i hd assumed i couldnt use my drawing monitor with this game. it is so much better using my drawing monitor lmao but honestly was still fun with mouse drawing for those who dont have the option

My demo is halfway to 10 reviews! Try Portrait Painter and maybe even review it? It's hand-crafted with no AI used anywhere! store.steampowered.com/app/4641510/... #SteamNextFest #gamedev #godotengine

Fun fact, the drawing of The Curator was supposed to be a placeholder. I doodled him in a couple of minutes. Whenever I tried to replace this version I was never happy with any of the results so the placeholder became permanent. #portraitpaintergame

Lovely review! This is absolutely what I've been aiming for with my game! store.steampowered.com/app/4641510/... #SteamNextFest
