Help motivate me to finish my dumb goth bird platformer that I added 20 customisable hairstyles to before I added a second level. 🤦‍♂️ #SoloDev #IndieGame #PixelArt #Goth

Dropping a comment on a post then realising you were on Threads and not Bluesky. 😨

HD Remake for Switch/2 please 🙏

I foolishly interacted with a few Pokemon TCG videos and now my algorithim keeps showing me really depressing videos of grown men stealing cards from kids or weeping about their PSAs. I am ALL about the hobby, but hate seeing it as an "Investment". Feels very Team-Rocket-coded.

We're stoked to introduce the 'No Gen AI' seal for indie games! Indie devs can use it on their game's store page to assure potential players that their game was made without the use of Generative AI. You can grab it from the Polygon Treehouse website:- www.polygon-treehouse.com/no-gen-ai-seal

Of all the Major Wounds in my game, decapitation is my favourite - yet, with a 1 in 100 chance, I've yet to run a game where a player became a talking head. 😔 #IndieGame #Tabletop #Horror #TTRPG

Internet's losing its mind over a leaked #Doomsday trailer and its literally just an out of focus genAI video 😭

Perfect for the season of dark and cold nights :3

The game development is game developing. #GameDev #IndieGame #SoloDev

Against my better judgement, I've decided to make my own models this week so I've been learning Blender. It's been... an experience. #Blender #GameDev #IndieGame #SoloDev

Took me a full 5 minutes of seeing awful posts with awful comments to realise I had opened Threads and not Bluesky. 🤦‍♂️ Hello everyone!

Why thank you, Blender.

That feeling when your small indie game makes some money that you can now use to buy small indie games that make some money so their creators can buy small indie games that make some money so their creators can buy small indies games that make some money so-

Today in Night Owl X, We're working on our idle animations for NPCs, breathing some life into the world. Really enjoying how much of a piece of shit this NPC comes across as now. #IndieGames #GameDev #Unity #SoloDev #PixelArt

Strange to think I released my first ever #TTRPG book over 3 months ago! In Death was a labour of love that I'm very proud of, and it's surreal it out there in the world and in the hands of players. To any who've picked up a copy already, thank you and I hope you enjoy it. #IndieGames #Tabletop

Today in Night Owl X, I started adding in talking animations for NPCs, which will come in tandem with some more complex idle animations to breathe a bit more life into the world. #IndieGames #GameDev #PixelArt

Writing all of this guy's lines like Edgar Allen Poe poems and it's *killing me* 😭 #GameDev #IndieGames #PixelArt #Retro #Unity

Using @chaosium.bsky.social 's Basic Roleplaying System, In Death from @jacobdimwood.bsky.social finds a bridge between trad and story tabletop gaming as much as one between life and death. @jellyfishlines.itch.io explores these connections in his review: www.thefandomentals.com/in-death-ttr...

Today in Night Owl X, These dumb point pop ups took me WAY longer than they realistically should have. #GameDev #IndieGame #Unity #PixelArt

Fabulous review from @jellyfishlines.itch.io of @thefandomentals.bsky.social on In Death 😍 Thanks so much for taking the time and the kind words. If anyone has a few minutes spare today, give the review a read! #IndieGames #Tabletop #TTRPG

up on the @thefandomentals.bsky.social now!! In Death published by @jacobdimwood.bsky.social is a ttrpg about being in between the afterlife and something not quite that. Check it out www.thefandomentals.com/in-death-ttr...

This week in Night Owl X, I made these little door prefabs for the two existing shops. One takes Nox to the Clipper Wings barber shop to choose new hairstyles, and the other to Hoot Cups coffee shop to purchase movement upgrades. #IndieGames #Unity #PixelArt #GameDev #Goth

Bring back weird, 2000s, teenage dirtbag, garage video games. Bring me a game that would gladly have Sum 41 on the soundtrack. Bring me a game that feels like an episode of Malcolm in the Middle. BRING ME A TONY HAWK'S UNDERGROUND 3.
