Santa’s going to be REALLY busy delivering coal to stockings this year.

🐿️just found out that those harry potter skins are almost $11??? instead of supporting transphobia, you can support transgender and get our puzzle game on sale for $6.99! I've made a graphic to compare store.steampowered.com/app/3284270/... cyansorcery.itch.io/blobun #indiedev #gamedev #gamemaker

Hanukkah is almost over and I haven't shared any holiday card art from years past! 😮 Here are the last 4 years worth of family holiday cards that I've created.

It’s the weekend! So the two of us here celebrated by binge-playing the entire season so far of the @thinkygames.com daily puzzles and trying out Clues By Sam (until my laptop battery died 🪦😅)

I keep coming back to these tarot inspired mechs because I had so much fun designing them and thinking about the world they are from. I think I'm going to try and make a game about them. That way I can have my friends pilot their own make-believe-cool-robot assigned by fate.

reminder:

I need some #KidLitArt pals to please go do this survey. It's not only concept artists/ comic book artists affected, but children's illustrators are often left out studies/convos involving this.

#ArtVsArtist 2025 wrap-up, some of the pictures I've drawn this year, predominantly #kidLit stuff (along with work on Puzzle Spy International - which could take up a whole grid on its own.) #artVsArtist2025 #mg #mgArt #childrensIllustration #gameArt

Heads up to my mutuals who still have a twitter account because HOLY SHIT

WOW! Puzzle Spy International has been nominated for a Thinky Award for Most Anticipated Game! I'm beyond stunned... Thank you so much @thinkygames.com for the honor! 😊 #indieGame #indieGames #puzzleGame #thinkyGame #indieDev

I loved Celia / Jamwitch's My Friends the Monster Trainers this year - big congrats for the nomination! - and at her recommendation am hoping to try out some new ones on the list like Type Help and Clues by Sam.

The 2025 Thinky Awards nominations are up and boy is it a strong pack this year! Get in your vote for Game of the Year, Most Anticipated, and Best Content Creator!

DND Party Commission! Going to take a bit of time off after this week but looking to fill out my schedule after the new year, hit me up for freelance illustration projects!

Hi #TeaseYaGame! Puzzle Spy international is a retro spy adventure where you solve thinky puzzles and chat with (or chat up!) contacts around the world. It's got wordplay puzzles, logical deduction and rules discovery. Demo available at s.team/a/3406690 and at mdashow.itch.io/psi-demo #puzzleGame

With Clair Obscur winning multiple awards for best indie game, does that label even mean anything any more? I love this industry breakdown which uses measurable data - not vibes - to break games down into 4 categories. newsletter.hushcrasher.com/p/taxonomy-o... #gameDev #indieDev #indieGames

Why did the term indie games come into use in the first place, and how do we cope with the huge shift in its meaning? #gamedev #indiedev

JER (@skatunenetwork.bsky.social) just throwing down another banger, as they do. youtu.be/4b3MY77ry0g?...

Here’s another tip: how about we all just ditch Instagram??? It’s crazy how much creatives insist on staying there while simultaneously going oh no one sees my posts, I’m not growing, etc. Girl stop, it’s not you, it’s the app.

KOSA will obliterate trans people's ability to have spaces and even communicate online. It MUST be stopped.

HELLO. I AM IN A GAME. This is what I've been working on for this last year, working with a small team inside Capy. Find Your Words is a short adventure game that highlights non-speaking kids and the ways they communicate. It also has me in a 3" inseam. SHARE THIS OR ELSE.

Quote with your starry art ✨

Before the game awards deliver an absolute verdict, here are some games I played this year and really deserve recognition in my opinion. Best "non consensual game design approach", Baby Steps. Really a unique game, both hilarious and enraging. 200% edgy.

I don’t think people outside of healthcare realize how much AAP is standing out as a moral backbone of medicine right now, especially in pediatrics. There is so much fear at institutions. Seeing an org directly and repeatedly targeted refuse to budge an inch is extraordinary.

The fact that Netflix could afford to buy warner brothers means they could've afforded to let us share passwords.

Look, I'm just gonna tell cishet white people right now--Newsom ain't the one. You got Walz and Pritzker out here. You do not need a Bill Clinton clone wearing Mitt Romney's skin.

@itseieio.bsky.social I released a follow up to my Every 5x5 Nonogram game, Every 5x6 Nonogram, incorporating some of your feedback from last time! puzzarium.com/every-5x6-no... Now it supports realtime progress, so you can see every square other players click.

Love this band, and these are some of my favorite songs from their new album. ❤️

Chris Person takes a look at Horses, "the indie game that is too scandalous for either Valve or Epic, is only beyond the pale if you're not familiar with any other art form" (quoted from the article blurb). aftermath.site/horses-indie... At least read this paragraph:
