I'm currently in Japan til May 27th, so Astropods-related things will not really be in the works! Though, expect Kirby Cafe and some light hauls, as well as BitSummit 2026 stuff! I suppose I can make a thread about it here! Who knows how long I'll keep it up tho...

With nods to @cheesimoon.bsky.social, @gamegarage.bsky.social, and even some obscure retro picks that may be completely new to you, we hope you all can check out our recent roundup of non-Kirby games we think #Kirby fans will like!

This #screenshotsaturday, we have a name update! Astropods: Dreamlayer Dragon! What could this mean? A demo will come out sometime this summer! #indiegame

I've been mostly chilling and working on Mt. Kaboo stuff :P #gamedev #jrpg

Hmm...this area looks a bit familiar! For the intro stage, it will take place near the hub world of Astropods: Starside Glaze! It's missing the giant mushroom, but that will arrive soon. #indiegame #gamedev

I've been getting a lot of questions re: chronic pain + art lately and I'm begging people to consider regular tablets over screen ones, and don't hunch over them. They take some getting used to but they allow for much better posture and reduced strain!

Big Dummy is back! He'll be sleeping outside of Zooka's residence in Town. I've been told the Z's in his eyes stands for Zooka, not snoring; what audacious branding! #indiegame #gamedev

From Scott McCloud's "Understanding Comics" (saw @ironspike.bsky.social post a snippet and wanted to post the whole thing)

10 years, Kirby Planet Robobot came out in Japan! This game is soo good, & its Jet ability is my favorite by far! So fast & fluid, with good damage on top of 2 sick command grabs! Happy 10th birthday, Kirby Planet Robobot!

people say Kafei and Anju are the standout side characters of Majora, but the more i think, its Cremia and Romani that standout the most to me. everything about them is pitch perfect. an encapsulation of the innocence/trust of childhood and the burdens of being an adult.

I love of fast I can go in Astropods Starside Glaze. Still getting a feel for it. Game is very snappy which I can really appreciate & you can unlock so many options for playstyle with badges. Charming pastel graphics & wears it's influence lovingly on it's sleeve #astropodsstarsideglaze #astropods

@cheesimoon.bsky.social Action so fun I went back into the tutorial to beat my time against the boss. Astropods: Starside Glaze

The waterfall in the back now moves as well! Town seem to be in some sort of waterfall mushroom crater; and yes, this is the same waterfall from the previous game! #indiegame #gamedev

These are always neat to do on a surface level, but I personally don't like ranking my favorites that much (w/ some exceptions). Still, these are decent for conversation starters. I don't think my listed Pokemon here are that crazy, but it probs informs some of my designs lol

A new character sketch has appeared! This is the one who will run the local bank. She's a ghost who seems to have a...storied history, and something sticking out of her. Perfectly normal. #indiegame #gamedev

Tried out a blue-yellow skybox on a whim, it's a surprisingly fun concept! I may stick with it; what do you think? #indiegame #gamedev

Astropods 2: Unnamed is finally getting named! Say hello to Astropods: Dreams & Fervor! Cool name, isn't it? I wonder what that silhouette could be...

This #screenshotsaturday, we have a new dialogue system! More like a speech bubble now, you can even move around. If you no longer wanna talk to them (why?😢), walk out of the conversation! #indiegame #GameMaker

SCREAMING THIS FROM THE FUCKING ROOFTOPS

Grass is orange now, and a new NPC has been spotted! Say hello to Togura, the cartographer! This game will have many more NPCs, so be on the lookout for more weirdos! #indiegame #gamedev

So today is the 20th year anniversary of the anime broadcast of Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya! I really love this series. It's not for everyone, but there's an unashamed, genuine abrasiveness to this series that I really respect & enjoy. I only got into it last year, but it really captured me!
