If the machinations of my brain made a sound, this is what it would sound like.

If you like clowns, challenging non-linear platformers, unorthodox art styles and things made by humans instead of AI, I made this specifically for you. #CurtainsTheClown #Gaming #Games #PCGames #Clowns #Steam #SteamGames #UnrealEngine #UE5 #NoAI

Just bouncing around from learning Blender to playing Helldivers 2, Diablo 2, and Geometry Wars. Believe it or not, I've played Geometry Wars for more hours in my lifetime than the other two combined. Maybe I should write a love letter and make a twin-stick shooter. I might have some ideas for this.

Say you're a loner without saying you're a loner

With the likes of Lorna Shore, Slaughter To Prevail and Humanity's Last Breath, modern metal sure can be heavy, but I'm telling you right now: They are nothing compared to the raw and crushing emotion that was Sevas Tra era Otep, and I will die on this hill.

1/5 Alright folks, it's rant time. My roommate shared his Steam account with me and I've been playing a lot of Helldivers 2. I must admit, it's really fun, but you already know I have some critiques. My biggest one is how there are capes, helmets and body armor, but only the armor provides bonuses.

Using Blender is equal parts lots of fun and very frustrating. Probably why I'm enjoying the learning process so much. It's the same feeling I get from fighting a boss, learning their attack patterns and figuring out what weapons work the best. It's a grind, and I'm here for it.

@goatthroneaudio.bsky.social has a music pack out! goatthrone-audio.itch.io/oldschool-hi... Basically if it's by Goatthrone Audio it's good stuff to put in your game projects (that very much includes commissions, by the way). And this is currently on sale!

Obviously this doesn't mean anything, I just thought it was kinda wild. #ForDemocracy #SweetLiberty #Helldivers2

Signs of life reported in Clown Town...

1/5 I went ahead and put my last Twitch payout toward promoting my game. I reached out to General Andrews, a retro and indie enthusiast streamer with a solid viewer base. Nice guy, even worked with me on his rates so I could afford to pay him.

#HighwayNoir is part of #NextFest! You can play the demo and wishlist here: store.steampowered.com/app/3317730/... #IndieGame #IndieDev #Demo

Red/amber/green colour coding doesn't work for everyone. I've made sure that in #HighwayNoir you can change the palette to suit your preferences. That extends to NPC markers, progress bars, low vision mode recolours etc #IndieGame #Accessibility

Drowning my sorrows in various SNES speed runs. Nothing distracts the mind quite like the sounds of my childhood and locking in to achieve a new personal best time. Probably best to just stick with what I'm actually good at.

Made an attempt at further optimizations for clown game to no avail. Nothing short of rebuilding it in a different engine is going to fix the issue I've been hearing about. Sorry to anyone who can't run it. I tried.

All this time, I thought I would be receiving a payout from Steam this month, but it turns out that reaching the $100 threshold isn't enough. It has to be over $100 after Steam takes their cut to process the payout. I made $110 in total sales, and the last sale was on Christmas. *sigh*

My game is on sale - 60% off 👀 (probably costs less than a cup of coffee depending on where you live!) store.steampowered.com/app/3684910/... #indiegames #pinball

Since the beginning of the month, I've been streaming a lot. It has been going surprisingly well so I'll be doing it a lot more throughout the year. I like to clown around with chat while playing a variety of games, but mostly retro and souls-like/soulsborne. Come up and see me some time.

You will like my indie game if you played these games: - Ball x Pit 🪩 - Megabonk 🔨 - Tower of Babel: Survivors of Chaos 🪓 - Holo cure ❤️‍🩹 #indiedev #gamedev #indiegames #roguelite

Slightly diminish a game: Scab borne.

It's #ScreenshotSaturday so I'm sharing the trailer for #CurtainsTheClown because rules were made to be broken. The same can be said about my English grammer. I'm such a rebel 😎 youtu.be/3BcBrwZdcrs?...

First pass of a super janky camera auto-follower Recording snippets like these really help visualise early issues as you get to see the problems repeated over and over again while you type out a bluesky post #indiedev #gamedev

"If you enable people to stop using their brains, they will stop using their brains. AI does exactly this. Don't enable people to stop using their brains."

"Doing this will just help hasten your transformation into Skype 2.0. Nobody wants this, nobody needs this, it's just chasing a stupid bubble."

Do this survey and tell them unambiguously "No!" To AI products on discord. Im going to be making plans to move my charity fundraising server to something else meanwhile

Hi #screenshotSaturday I've been prepping a bit of merch this week :3 #lgbtq #gameDev #krita #enby

💜⚙️We're Live!!⚙️💜 It's Friday again! So, tonight we hunt! We will likely try the timed AT Jin event and some Gog. Come hangout! twitch.tv/myjazzprincess #vtuber #eldenwood #mhwilds

Here’s the HUGE hand painted watercolour map for my game Bibdu! Made to the same scale as it will be on screen~ It took 3 days to sketch and paint and still missing some detail but happy to have it done to this level for now! #bibdu #ireland #indiedev #gamedev #handdrawn

Would you sell the license to one of your IPs? Someone recently asked me if I would consider doing this with Curtains The Clown. I desperately need money and I'm sure a studio with access to more resources could make a better game, I just don't know how I feel about it. #GameDev #IndieDev #SoloDev

Decided to stream some old fighting games today starting with Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3. Just some casual play to pass the day. Perhaps I'll see you there. www.twitch.tv/grimclownjay

Holy dropping cakes!! We just past 1.2K followers!! Thank you so SO MUCH for all your support! From 0 to 1.2K in just over a year is mind-blowing! 🤯 I truly appreciate each and every one of you and I am so excited for all the things 2026 will bring to Warped Worlds—and our communities' growth! 🙏❤️‍🔥

Quick update on the server rules! We removed the "No politics" rule! I never considered how that looks for certain folks, and after some discussion internally it was agreed that rules regarding kind and courteous conversation covers the concerns I had with the topic.

💜⚙️We're Live!!⚙️💜 Today we are playing one of the first comfort games I ever streamed! Let's climb the Spire together!! twitch.tv/myjazzprincess #vtuber #eldenwood #slaythespire

We now have some neat snapping and unsnapping when connecting pieces 🔧 It's not much, but it's progress ✨ #indiedev #gamedev

#TradingCardGame #IndieGame #IndieGameDev #IndieTCG #IndieCardGame #IndieDev #GameDev 🗓 It's the first Tuesday of 2026—time for a #TCG reveal! 🥁 Introducing our first BETA phase community-collaborated Wondercard, the Blandian "Cactus Gecko"! 🌵🦎 I'd love to hear what you think so far! 🔁💖💬🙏🫶 🧵👇

I want to try running the Any% Unrestricted category on the Mortal Shell SRC board so badly, but running it on the final build makes breaking the record time impossible because all of the time saving tricks have since been patched out. There is no way to down-patch without piracy 😞

Does the pixelated aesthetic spark joy or is it ugly? The brain cannot decide. #feedbackwanted

Reminder for the night owls and folks on the other side of the planet... I've got a growing server of creatives! A place to talk about projects and gather feedback from others! We could use artists! Something I'm not great at that I need to figure out is assets for the server!

If you told me 2 years ago that someone would like my game enough to invest any amount of time toward making fan art about it, I wouldn't have believed you. Thank you @archangelsoftworks.co.uk for sharing this awesome redesign of my clown boy, #CurtainsTheClown! 💜💚

Keep doing creative stuff. Even if it feels like it sucks and it's not good. Just do it. Even if the world is falling apart. Just keep doing stuff. Show the world there's still something worth being there for.

It's officially been 4 years since I started development on #LookingInward!!!! I've made so many friends and worked with so many cool people up to this point ^^ Given that we're currently about halfway through Chapter 3, it's come a long way! (Promo art by @expatstudios.bsky.social)
