Gripe time: I hate how all the showstoppers now are just "build an elaborate sculpture." This isn't supposed to be a show about construction skills.

You should wishlist my game to get it to 2000. Think how great it would be if you helped make a solo indie dev happy ❤️ store.steampowered.com/app/2369760/...

I'm showing 17.waves at @vangamegarden.bsky.social ! Come say hi!

Oh no... I have the urge to make a 2d platformer... Maybe if I keep it super tiny in scope... But then again... The mechanics could complement each other if I add... And that ties into... Oh no...

Just launched a public playtest of 17.waves, my co-op tower defense game! The playtest includes the entire game if you feel like diving in with some friends and letting me know how it goes 😊 store.steampowered.com/app/2369760/...

Cats! That is all.

As game dev I often wonder if my intuition about the Steam market matches reality. So I did a small game to test it: Guess how many reviews a random game has. You can now play it too on steamle.com

Expedition 33 is amazing. Except Simon, fuck that guy.

Also got a family of Myaku-Myakus. At first, honestly, I didn't like the mascot, but now I'm all in on this guy after seeing it around so much. They're so great!

Just happened to be leaving japan the day "Fantasy Life i" was released, so we snagged a physical copy!

Today is #transdayofvisibility and it's a very important day. We're a small 2 people studio and one of us (myself, Luka) is a trans man! As an artist and gamedev, I WANT to be visible. I want other trans people to know they're not alone, we are everywhere, and we will continue to exist 💛

Assassin's Creed Shadows is great! Exploring, stealth, combat, the story. It's fun to get lost in a huge epic like this.

Do you know of any YouTubers who cover specific genres of indie games? Not indie generalists, people who have a specialist genre. I’d love to be able to pass on some of the games I cover (or don’t) to folks who might appreciate them more or have deeper insights. Shares welcome.

Hey YouTube, let me filter out all the terrible AI music slop from my homepage. I've clicked not interested/don't recommend this dozens of times. Stop it! 🛑

Candy companies have gone too far, and I'm here for it. Legitimately so good.

If you were going to code a cross platform GUI text editor, what would you use? GTK, Raygui, QT, SDL3, Electron, something else?
