Update on my pixel art guide for beginners: Transferred all the information from Tumblr to a Google Doc, so anyone who doesn't have a Tumblr account can now read through the whole thing! I also updated quite a bit of information too. I hope it will help somebody! docs.google.com/document/d/1...

Rewatching Galaxy Quest for the like 20th time but this time I've seen all of Star Trek TNG and it's a totally different experience. I understand the references now! I get it!!!

How about you try a short and silly game about a mouth navigating a world of food by propelling himself with his own vomit?

Hello bluesky, to everyone new here dyk I made a 3D platformer? The Adventures of Mouthman is free at retrocademedia.itch.io/mouth-man youtu.be/sECvAqgGgoE?... #gamedev #indiegame #3dplatformer #indiegamedev

@itch.io is known as a haven for indie gaming - that may be so if you're releasing games, but for finding game assets it's become a sad place. Search results are crowded with AI garbage. Threads have been complaining for over a year, with no response. NO WAY TO BLOCK THESE?? #itch #itch.io #gamedev

Come join me as I work on a gamejam! #gamedev #indiegame #gamejam www.twitch.tv/retrocade_me...

i'm writing music for this game and it rocks (zero bias whatsoever) please go check it out and wishlist when you have the chance 🙏
