Question: do you guys believe free-to-play is inherently bad as a business model? Been thinking about that (and personally I think it's intrinsically corrosive to any game that goes that route), but I'm curious to hear what other people think.

Watching a video about how no one ever chooses to be bad in games. Had the thought "well duh, being evil has consequences so why would you want that?" Then I thought "well if you're rich there's no consequences... What if that was a game?" Then I realized it is, and it's called Cookie Clicker lmao

Crafted a new Legends Z-A team Feel like I've been seeing literally every mythical online except Meloetta, so I went out of my way to fit her on the team lol

No one Literally no one on earth Me: what if I did a page discussing in detail the portrayal and ethical implications of weight loss in wg fetish art?

Question for my European friends out there: what do you think are the odds that Denmark and the rest of the EU back up the "shoot first ask later" thing? Asking as a tired American desperate to see my government actually get burned for touching the hot stove for once.

Nothing like putting thought and effort into a job application you already know in advance that you're never landing to get you excited to do a hundred more like it in the future... I was gonna complain about having to finish two games in a row, but now that doesn't seem so bad by comparison.

I dunno if this is a hot take or not. But Nintendo is the definitive "true neutral" of game companies. They've been true neutral for probably like a decade now, and I'm tired of pretending that they're anything else, lol Can find a bit of every alignment in their behavior, but never the extremes

Just posted a new devlog, and this ones a chonker. Tons of info on what I want to work on, where the game went during hiatus and how people can help with development, so if that interests you please check it out! Oh and there's also a bunch of concept art lol maxdigital.itch.io/mayasbigadve...

I'm just... So fucking tired of this shit So sick of the headlines being more outrageous each and every day for 10 years straight. And then just having to go about my day as if everything's fine.

📢 Calling all Developers & Creators! 🎮We will be hosting our first video event in spring! 🎮 This is where we will showcase updates to Big Bun Projects; but also host and collab with other developers to showcase their trailers and games. If you want to get involved in the event, please contact! ✉️

...Yeah sure why not, I like hearing from people lol

okay lesson learned never feel optimistic ever jesus fucking christ

Been strangely optimistic lately for whatever reason that feels like a bad sign, hmm...

Happy New Year! Been pretty quiet lately, but rest assured I'll have plenty to share about my projects soon enough. In the meantime, I figured I'd finally go ahead and make these sprite sheets public to bring in the new year. (will also share on sites where they won't be horribly compressed, dw lol)

Did a few doodles on discord and some of them were Christmas themed, so I figured I'd share here

Heads up to artists still using Twitter- Twitter is now adding an "Edit image" button under all images posted on the site that allows everyone to feed it into genAI and modify it as they wish with a prompt

You guys remember horse armor? How 20 years ago Bethesda tried to sell people a $2.50 microtransaction and that sparked outrage in audiences? I've decided that E33 using AI is the Horse Armor of our generation. It's the moment we'll look back on and think "damn, we used to have standards back then"

the other night I had a nightmare where my laptop automatically updated to windows 11 without my consent. was less of a terrifying nightmare and more just "wow this sucks I hate it". Not sure what that says about me lol

Some concept art doodles Been putting together a more thorough devlog on what I imagine a completed version of Maya's Big Adventure might look like, and I figure I should make some drawings to break up the paragraphs of text lol

been trying to write up my plans for the game ...man writing is hard, lol. Like actually harder than making the game for me, no wonder I kept putting this off.

This cancerous tumor of a website needed to die 3 years ago I swear. So glad I ditched Xitter and never looked back

So Mario Kart World got an update today. It's a pretty small update honestly, might be hard to tell what's changed

Sometimes I wonder if maybe I'm missing out, exclusively playing indie games and Nintendo and ignoring most every other game that comes out. Then I hear Tim Sweeney talk about how stores shouldn't flag AI in games cause he expects all games to use it, and I'm like "yeah nah fuck that."

Happy Thanksgiving! There's no shot I'll be able draw anything specific for this, so uh... heck it I'll just repost this one cause I really really liked it. Maybe they're blowing her up to join the local parade (they're not lol)

Never been to Sizecon before (or really any convention for that matter) But knowing that a bunch of my friends and even one of my games was featured at the last one, I kinda wanna go to the next one.

Updated Maya's Big Adventure! Not a huge update, there's no new content, but apparently there was a bug that prevented players from playing levels made in the level editor. That's now been fixed,and I made some other minor changes while I was at it maxdigital.itch.io/mayasbigadve...

Susie beats Zero 2 by falling on him because she's just that fat lol

Susie seeing giant Chef Kawasaki as the final boss of gourmet race: "finally, a worthy opponent..."

Maya if she were ever allowed to enter a gourmet race lol

Sorry guys, I think I finally broke. Might not have any game updates for a hot minute. Least I crashed out just in time for air riders to cheer me up soon, haha...

Well it took a long-ass time, but it's finally here. The latest version of the Maya platformer (now Maya's Big Adventure) has gone public, and you can play it on PC or web browser right now! maxdigital.itch.io/mayasbigadve...

I think Iegit made someone rage quit with this one lmao.

Been thinking about fat Susie in a battle chariot after running so many people over with that combo in the air riders demo...

Oh shoot I passed 1000 followers! And before even releasing the new game too. Sadly I don't really have anything special for the occasion other than continuing to do what I had already planned. But thank you guys for all your support! Here's to a thousand more

New Maya game update, we've got more levels and more portals! Head over to my devlog on patreon if you'd like to read more about it! www.patreon.com/posts/close-... ...man I'm really tired this shit took all day lol

Susie in the battle chariot goes so hard lol

Glad to know that NYC will be in good hands with Mamdani. Been following him for a while and the thing that stuck out to me is just how human he comes off. Never in my life have I seen a politician feel more like a real person than him, genuinely most of them talk like grifters or lizard people.

Thinking about how insane it is that advertisers once fled YouTube in droves because their ads played in front of a video that said the f-word. But now we have the most abhorrent AI ads imaginable, and if you don't want to see them or don't want them playing on your videos, you're shit out of luck.

gotta say living in the most unserious joke of a country in history really has been making it harder to take anything I do seriously. It's a skill issue on my part and I'mma try to be better, but it's frustrating regardless

Been playing Pokemon Legends Z-A lately. Here's the goofy team that I ended up settling on for online battles lol

oh shit I just realized I'm almost at 1000 followers uhh... fuck I gotta get to work lol

Been thinking about how people do member shout-outs as a patreon reward. How does that work exactly, do people literally just copy paste their members list or do they have a system for it? I've been thinking of doing that, but I'm not sure how to approach it and represent members how they want.

Decided to do a sprite of @lifelinelemons.bsky.social's Linda on my phone while I was away from home. Maya giving her a lift after she's gotten a little too big to walk on her own, lol Will get back to you guys on game dev updates shortly

Legends Z-A is a funny game lol

It's been a while since I've drawn Maya I should do that again sometime

i may have gotten bored, and decided to mod a big fat toadette into that mario remaster that's been floating around. search it up! the download can be found on my deviantART: www.deviantart.com/honeyswells/... #honeyswells #monobutt #inflation

Gonna wake up to exercise my first amendment right and say that Charlie Kirk sucked actually. Maybe if I didn't hear about a new school shooting every week I'd have enough sympathy left to still feel bad for him, but my generation is numb to gun violence and we have people like him to thank for that

A GAME ABOUT ROUND LADIES TURNING ROUNDER THAN USUAL?! More likely than you think!! (a joint effort between me and @velvet-bambi.bsky.social) youtu.be/nW4-bnzcMcI

Releasing a new Suki game build for Patrons! Sorry this got delayed so long I've been addicted to Silksong lol www.patreon.com/posts/suki-g...
