Ankylosaurus model almost done! After a few weeks working on freelance jobs I'm back to working on Fossil Quest yay! we have a big update planned for the end of next week with new dinosaurs, procedurally generated dig sites, fossil quality (!) and improved exhibit setup system🦖 #indiedev #gamedev

GenAI has polluted image search results, especially for animal pics. It’s now basically impossible to find accurate art references. Enter this: a repository of open-access, AI-free images of wild & exotic taxa. Artists creating *without AI* have blanket permission for derivative/transformative use.

Welp, I've just found out that my role has been made redundant 🫠... So I will be looking for work! If anyone is looking for a 2D/3D Generalist or Art Director for games (particularly specialising in stylised projects!) please shout! From concepts > modelling > animating thru to implementation 💛✨

Since I got laid off in May I've been working with a number of other former Polygon writers to start a new website. I'm proud to announce that we've just launched Rogue.site, a worker-owned and operated games journalism site funded by readers like you.

We've updated Dressmaker with a bunch of new things, like adding buttons and bows, viewing previously made dresses, more garments and fabrics and more! I'm making a push to get more downloads, because Free Lives is pointing at the "low" download count of 11k as not good enough to make the full game.

How did I not know that opalised fossils are a thing???? They are only found in Australia, most of them from Lightning Ridge. Look at these glittering bones from ancient creatures and tell me its not magic 🥹 #fossils #paleontology

Almost ready to release this thing on itch 🦖🦴 #indiegame #gamedev #itchio

Gave myself two hours, feel like I learned quite a lot doing this but at the same time I'm not sure I'm a fan of the result but that's secondary to learning I guess. quite pleased with the big dog thing, although it would sink in the snow with those little feet? I guess wolves don't?

Added some redecoration features to my little fossil/dinosaur museum prototype. I'm really happy with it 😅 #gamedev #indiegame

Cleaning fossils is satisfying #indiedev #gamedev

If you care about games, take a moment to read through this and take action. NSFW games might not be for you - they're not for me - but we cannot allow a small group of censorious extremists to decide that people can not make games about sex, about sexuality, and about the role of sex in our world.

Finally 🙌 it seems real time wishlists are here

eeeek wow Flibbius is just TWO reviews short of hitting the 50 mark!!! and we are still at 100% positive 😀 If you enjoyed the game please consider leaving a review to get us there! #indiegame #cozygame
