Dressmaker is coming to Steam... ❤️❤️❤️ store.steampowered.com/app/4019220/...

Dressmaker by @techartjon.com is one of those cozy games that lets you zone out while flexing your creative skills. Absolutely gorgeous, and I can't wait to watch development progress! Full article over on TNT👇 thenerdytype.com/2025/09/17/d...

I played @techartjon.com's DRESSMAKER and really enjoyed it! I like the large amount of control you're given with designing your own dresses, and the textile gamefeel. The devs are looking for downloads to help find a publisher: elyaradine.itch.io/dressmaker Here are some of the dresses I made:

Check it out! This is super cool, being made by some of the people behind the awesome Terra Nil, and I really want this to get a chance to become a full game! They just need downloads to be able to prove that it can be a full project... 🥺

This is such a great review of Dressmaker! 👗✂😭 www.youtube.com/watch?v=JfDi...

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.

STICK IT TO THE STICKMAN IS OUT NOW ON STEAM

Watching this YouTube video of @spudcatsyt.bsky.social playing Dressmaker made me want to draw this... 😅 (I don't know what they look like and could be totally off, but the image in my head needed to be released!)

Made something kinda cute in @techartjon.com 's dressmaker game. Its super relaxing to play and I'm grateful to @deathbynyvz.bsky.social for sharing it with me. I hope to sew ballgowns soon!

There's a new Terra Nil update landing soon! 🔥

After three weeks in the prototyping oven, we've launched Dressmaker on itch! This is the most excited about a game that I've made that I've ever been and I don't think I've ever wanted a prototype to be a full game this much. I just hope enough of the rest of the world agrees. 😅

It blew up on short video social media, so we've been working on it full time for the past week to take it from a toy into being a game. Y'know, the other 90%. 🫣

The waddle campaign has reached it's end!  With over 100 penguins adopted, you all have made a big difference. Huge thanks to everyone who contributed to helping SANCCOB with this cause. Big shout out to 24 Bit Games who won a well deserved golden penguin award.

We made an incremental gardening game about planting and watering flowers and fungi, and decorating your garden. Try it out at elyaradine.itch.io/bloom

I, uh, was working on this during my vacation, because game dev is especially fun when you don't *have* to do it?? XD

I watched an art demo by Dani Diez where the first few markings of his sketch already had me imagining what the final painting would look like. He ended up taking it in a very different direction, and I left wanting to draw the thing that I couldn't stop thinking about... 😶

This is a great thread @hillsguy.bsky.social, I'll add a bit more context here for anyone interested. Yes there's no fancy sim - it just uses a water interaction buffer as a target for the particle system rendering, so we could use the power of particle system we already have.

My partner just got a vintage knitting machine, and this might be the gateway to turning her into a programmer.

I've been trialing a paid search engine. Their "small web" tab is like browsing the old internet. Blog post after blog post of passionate people writing about their interests for the sake of it, not fluff and clickbait for ad revenue. I'm so tired of having to filter out so much noise.

The number of times I type out a reply just to delete it because I don't actually want to spend time arguing with people (even people I know and like) on the internet anymore... I don't know if I've learnt from my teenage years, or if I just don't have the energy. 😅

I just finished this and it was a really good time. It's shortish but focused and has lots of personality. Felt a bit bad about plucking bugs from their habitats and making them fight each other, but it also made me more interested in bugs, so... 😅

🪲🌻🌲 Kabuto Park is OUT NOW! 🐞🪷🎉 🪲 Catch the cutest and strongest bugs 🐞 Win the tiniest sumo fights 🐝 Collect, upgrade and enjoy summer I am so proud of this little game, it means so much to me 💕 Share with your friends 💌 #indiedev #indiegame

I get this question a lot. I don't have strong views on how transmasc people should dress, but since I often get the question, I've thought about it a bit. Will share some thoughts in this thread. 🧵

Just a shout out to @meydan.itch.io who wrote the Terra Nil soundtrack. He's easy to work with, does excellent work by default, but also takes feedback very well. If you want music that can make people cry, dance, or feel anything at all, I give him the strongest of recommendations!

We're asking our friends to adopt penguins! Find out why. penguins.terranil.com

I've just released a new dnb / synthwave / ambient / bach song (yes, all of that)! Out now on YouTube and Soundcloud, June 5th on Spotify💛 But perhaps more importantly the original cover art was made by @techartjon.com 🤩🤩

Introducing Sex With Friends, the debut title from B-Team, a (kind of) brand-new indie studio. It’s not porn, it's not romance, it’s physics. Available Now… baby. store.steampowered.com/app/3407070/...

Mom this is what I've been doing at work I'm so sorry

🎮 The first SFA jam of 2025 is happening! Our friends at are back with fresh jams, wild ideas, and big plans—expect more games, more chaos, and even a pop-up arcade before Playtopia this December! RSVP: forms.gle/456MZCfcj4aR...

I've almost entirely cut out social media since the start of February (no prizes for why), but some things are too good not to share... 🥺

This is Tinsel, showing us weekend mood. #cat

Being a person with deadly, incurable cancer who is nonetheless still alive for an indefinite timeframe gives me an interesting metaphor that helps me deal with things like large-scale corruption in government or commerce. Bear with me for a second while I try to explain.

I want to share my experience today with Google support, trying to get Gemini (their AI/plagiarism machine) turned off in my Google workspace account. That account is where I personally do all my work communication—I am an editor, and most of my work contracts explicitly ban any use of Generative AI

I don't know how anyone gets it in their mind that writing a GDD is a good thing to do when making something for a game jam. I think of game jams as being spaces for exploration, experimentation, and raw creativity. GDDs lock you into decisions that you haven't even tested.

Hey! Happy #PortfolioDay everyone! I'm Jean a concept artist, game artist, illustrator and matte painter. Currently looking for work!

Mis/disinformation is everywhere and being skeptical of everything is too much energy to spend as a layperson. I literally cannot look everything up: there's too much crap to wade through. But the one thing I know is that I wouldn't trust a billionaire to care about anyone else's well-being.

2024 was a tough one. I'm creatively all over the place and clawing my way out of post-launch burnout but I've managed to take steps toward a more sustainable pace and getting closer to making my energy-pot look less like an energy-colander. I just celebrate that I made anything at all! #artvsartist

I have much to learn from my cat.

I was asked today by a younger artist on how is it that I'm able to draw everyday without getting into a slump or art block and I was able to break it down into some bullet points. (Thread)

I made a lawful driving simulator

Made a sandwich deckbuilding game for a game jam with @kirstylee.bsky.social You can play it here: hirohun.itch.io/stackwich

If you see this, post fungi 🍄

After years away from game dev, I couldn’t stay silent about my people’s dehumanization. I made Dreams on a Pillow 🍉a game inspired by a famous Palestinian folktale about the 1948 Nakba. I’m crowdfunding it now—please back & share! 🔗 launchgood.com/1948
