In what's probably the last update before Steam Next Fest, Enigma Heart's demo sees a few small changes, and one rather cool one: store.steampowered.com/news/app/298... #GameDev #EnigmaHeart #Steam #SteamNextFest

I need your help. Can y'all name some trans developers that you've heard of? If they're on Bsky, feel free to tag them or link them off-site. I know of a few that are out there but definitely would love to hear what games they've worked on. Any and all help would be appreciated. Thank you! ☺️💜💜

Too many non sequitur posts? dril issue.

Please buy Ace and lesbian mario 3 it made me learn shell jumping and for that I am eternally grateful

Shoutout to everyone who choose to create in spite of everything

Brooklyn, 1980. A kind young man from Japan offers Mario to adapt his life's story into video games. The old man's only request is that his wife gets to be a Princess, as she should be.

I think my biggest fear, & I know it's going to happen for some, is going to be people only getting as far as Enigma Heart's similarities to Zelda II (of which there are many, obvs) and not seeing the ways I expanded on it, both in terms of mechanics, and in story (The latter being, "it has one.")

The update is live on #itchio as well: hadrosaurus.itch.io/enigma-heart...

Enigma Heart's demo has been updated, with a variety of small changes intended to make the overall experience that much smoother: store.steampowered.com/news/app/298... #GameDev #IndieDev #EnigmaHeart #Steam #SteamNextFest

Last boost for tonight

So I was bedridden for 16 months, and I've been focusing on getting employed since then. I'm very in debt and dealing with a brand new health problem of constant migraines, which is taking forever to address. If you've got a couple dollars, it'd really help. Thanks so much! ko-fi.com/fooneturing

Mazes of Malice, Beta 1 is released! This version is a functionally complete game. It fixes every known bug, has all the intended features and enemies and functionality, and polishes the control scheme for easier one-handed play. studio8502.itch.io/mazes-of-mal... #GameDev #c64 #retrogaming

@wxpnfm.bsky.social playing Sweet Dreams at 3 a.m. I think they're sending me a message. G'nite y'all!

skill issue. just do the worldbuilding/research and then not put it into the story this is not a joke. thinking out the implications but not explicitly enumerating them allows meaningful consistency without bogging your story down

Fresh new update to Enigma Heart's demo brings some bug fixes related to achievements, and a few quality of life improvements. Check it out! store.steampowered.com/news/app/298... #GameDev #IndieDev #Steam #EnigmaHeart #EnigmaHeartDemo

not to call anyone out specifically: many cises responding they didn't know and imo that speaks to how most ppl have done no work interrogating the transphobia they've spent their lives absorbing. would you say that i am a whitewoman or a jewishwoman? i bet you wouldn't, even by accident!

could someone buy your girl a meal? pretty please?

wow, I think I just saw the worst One Bid ever on The Price is Right First contestant: 1200 Second: 1201 Third: 1202 Fourth: *panics* 1199! YO! 1203 was right there!

It's the new year and so I'm trying a new schedule to accommodate for external factors. It's possible it doesn't stick and I go back to the previous schedule but for now, Streams will be on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Fridays at 7pm Eastern at twitch.tv/paulineragny as always.

Moving on to Kingdom Heart III. I hear this one was very divisive. twitch.tv/paulineragny

Happy #WishlistWednesday, adventurers! Loved Zelda II? Wanted a modern take on that side-scrolling formula? Us too! So we're building it! Enigma Heart's #SteamNextFest demo is out NOW! ⚔️ ▶ store.steampowered.com/app/2986980/... #IndieGame #EnigmaHeart

An example of how the term LGBTQ gets used in establishment media to flatten and obscure. Frank was notoriously hostile to trans rights, and wasn't particularly keen on queer communities broadly outside a swath of gentry white cis gays. The main trail he blazed was for his own power.

our games are still on sale for my birthday week, and we could really use the help to bridge the next 3-4 months if gay fox girl SMB3 and its prequel, a possess em up turn-based roguelike, or an adorable push puzzle game sound like your thing please give this a look

youtu.be/UOZy3UvplFE?... Fantastic Dizzy! (Or adequate, at least) I recorded this playthrough last year for subscribers and forgot to release it more widely. I love that people are sharing their 90s UK PC experiences in the comments!

This is supremely embarrassing, but I'm glad it got caught early. Demo's out btw! 🙃

Without stating your age post your favorite film released the year you turned 18.

Blockbuster nostalgia is what I call Common Denominator Nostalgia. Only a few hundred people have nostalgia for my local objectively better ma' and pa' video rental, but Blockbuster lets us transfer those feeling onto a more widely recognized brand so we can share it with others.

Enigma Heart is on the schedule -- so that's a thing 👀 (hype!)

Enigma Heart without lesbians

Made some graphcal updates. Reverted to the C64 default font (more or less) for now. Also did some work to make the game more colourful, especially when spinners go off. #gamedev #c64 #c64u #commodore #retrocomputing

Listen, i'm happy for ZSNES returning and all... but that Enhanced textures showcase feels that every texture pack is going to look like this in the future lol

it's been a full decade at this point and we're still finding people who think it's a good idea to make ironic hats that makes you look like a maga dipshit to anyone too far away to read the actual words

welcome new followers. the main thing you should know about me is that the studio i founded released the "what if mario 3 was a lesbian love story" game which won 2 awards and was nominated for 3 more, and it's on sale right now for the next 21ish hours

Using generative AI slop to poke fun at generative AI slop is still using generative AI slop. Knock it the hell off.

thrilled another @outersloth.com funded game is doing so well!!! but a hidden Cool Thing™ I'm grateful for about @hillfortgames.bsky.social is how transparent they've been with knowledge sharing to the rest of the Outersloth studios in our Slack! ❤️

Very psyched to see Mannequin Pussy rockin' the desk! www.youtube.com/watch?v=mA_f...

The way modern Trek is constantly poking the audience in the ribs going “hey remember THIS? And THIS?” just kills me. It makes the universe seem small and dumb.
