Linktober 2025 Day 13: Village 🍄🍄‍🟫🍄🍄‍🟫🍄 #linktober #artposting

Many years ago I found this taped to a telephone pole and I still think about it like once a month.

My heart aches for how incredible this first episode was. Also my first time getting to watch a main campaign live. I'm going to be looking forward to this every week.

Bring Me Hope: Explore a world of echoes and memories, where each battle tests your resolve and every secret whispers of something greater. its-fern.itch.io/bring-me-hope by @freshwaterfern

I'm a solo dev, but that doesn't mean I don't have help. It just means that anyone else could be replaced, but if something were to happen to me, the project ends. You can replace a director, but not a solo dev. Credits are for anyone who helped in any way, including just with motivation.

There's another gamedev in this coffee shop, and he too has the "What?!" Lean Forward, and the "How Is This Possible?" Face in Hands, and the "That Should've Fixed It" Sigh of Benign Agony.

getting hung up on the continuity of a nintendo franchise is like losing at chess to a dog, except there isn't a dog and there never was, there isn't a chessboard either, you're not even indoors, you're standing in the parking lot of a shuttered Kmart, a hollow wind blows

It's shameless plug time, I'm actually starting to sell some art? WHAT?? Happy Silksong everyone, $5 for 5 emotes for Discord or Twitch! (That's a dollar per emote!) ko-fi.com/s/31917d8895 #emote #promosky #promo #art #digitalart

Just saw a pigeon eating a Reese's cup, and I guess now I know what my life would be like if I was a pigeon.

I've been using the Input library for so long I forgot about this. 😭 GameMaker I love you but you're weird as a flightless winged pig.

I don't believe in the Zelda Timeline the same way as someone might not believe in God.

Running a TTRPG campaign for a group of great players is the most joyful and creatively fulfilling project I have ever worked on. The hardest part is keeping secrets...

(WIP) The Great Spellblade of Kaithenea, Battlemage Emperor Every key item is designed with a memorable location. Since Arcanaclysm is an item randomizer, the player needs to be able to remember where key items were in previous runs. #gamedev #pixelart #gamemaker #indiedev #fantasy

Half sorry for the deluge of reposts. Lots going on lately, and I catch myself lurking more than engaging. More game updates soon or eventually too, stuff is happening just slowly.

I occasionally get "Rami you've radicalized, I don't like it" and yeah I hate it too but if you're saying this the problem really is that a literal 600 day genocide in our names with our tax money on our televisions from journalists being murdered as our politicians lie hasn't radicalized you enough

Do you like the idea of Star Trek that there is no money or nation states and people are all free to improve their lives, and humanity, because there are enough resources for all to live and have their needs met on Earth?

We've posted an addendum FAQ to our original blog post about NSFW content. You can read it here: itch.io/updates/upda... Thank you for your patience as we navigate through this. We're upset too. We're doing what we can but there are still many unknowns at this point.

cohost being gleefully eviscerated and now itch as well – single digit teams are going to make mistakes. they should receive feedback when they do, but treating them like faceless corporations will ensure that only the faceless corporations will stick around to provide these services.

I was surprised by how well many of the enemy designs in Daughter of Dreams (my tactical RPG) transferred to a TTRPG context. Then I remember they are both turn based RPGs, I just almost never think about TTRPGs from that angle.

New York Times reports Zohran Mamdani ran carrier rush in SCBW 1v1

JULY 17: Five years since the passing of Congressman John Lewis, we’re coming together and showing up in the streets, outside courthouses, and in community spaces to carry forward his fight for justice, voting rights, and dignity for all. Please join us: goodtroubleliveson.org?SQF_SOURCE=i...

Mostly writing means no new videos. For instance, today I meticulously moved 80 items from one spreadsheet to another, fancier, spreadsheet. For FUN! So here's a repeat: my most complex Boomerang (so far). #gamedev #indiedev #pixelart #gamemaker #indiegames

After watching yet another playthrough of Slay the Princess, I had to try and draw my ageless multiverse-spanning couple in the style of the game. It took upwards of 10 hours, but I wasn't keeping very close track. #art #digitalart #OCsky

kind of just endlessly sad and grieving that there are so few voices in the public sphere making the basic principled argument that immigration is an affirmative good in every way and the best way for this country to serve humanity is to welcome people who want or need to leave their homes

Between Greta Thunberg and her fellow activists being kidnapped by Israel and Trump turning LA into his personal war zone, I hope people realise that protest, no matter how peaceful, will always be met with violence by dying empires.

Every Cloak fantasy game has grass that tries to kill you. youtu.be/odIg2egKNDk #gamedev #indiedev #pixelart #fantasy #GameMaker

I'm not famous (thank God) but I'm going with "Genocide is evil, always." Any further "nuance" only helps explain why and how this particular evil exists.

Michelangelo's "I saw the angel in the marble and carved until I set him free" but it's a mountain, you haven't seen hide nor hair of the angel in months, you are making a ttrpg.

This is the fanciest boomerang I've added to any of my games (yet)! youtu.be/K6wYPJyTDWw #gamedev #indiedev #pixelart #gamemaker

Epic fantasy often gives us a lovely expedient (violent) certain triumph over tyranny. In real life, I find it mostly tiresome and murky. I think this will be reflected in Arcanaclysm (if I can without making it unfun). But the ending will depend on who's in office when I write it...

Viv is 100% correct here. Your options are always one of three: 1. Do not make an indie game. 2. Get funding, usually by making something that fits a very narrow and useless definition of "safe", and subsequently losing agency over your production reality. 3. Have another income or means.

As a cishet man, I'm reminded how incredibly grateful I am for my queer friends, my woman friends, my gentle father, and my assertive mother; all of whom have welcomed me to be man oriented towards community. I am not alone.

In between Everything, I am still poking at Arcanaclysm, because this project gives me joy. Here is a tiny thing I added. youtu.be/ZOqvhdrWYVM #gamedev #indiedev #fantasy #pixelart #GameMaker

Here's my points about AAA game prices: (1) I hope we see fewer overpriced DLCs. (2) I hope indies get to stop underpricing their games. (3) All of this is only a problem at all because the price to LIVE is too high. Be mad about THAT.

Only Nintendo would charge for the instruction manual. Yet somehow I'm still shocked and baffled. Fool me thrice, or something. 😆

PSA: 1. If you are not silly, it is vital you become silly 2. If you are silly, you must stay silly 2. If you used to be silly but have stopped, you must make all efforts to return to silliness

For no particular reason, I am making an epic fantasy game about holding self-proclaimed gods accountable for destroying the world. This art I made last night is one of the first scenes I imagined when I started writing Arcanaclysm. #gamedev #indiedev #fantasy #conceptart #art

There is a thunder storm outside, I am writing postcards to my senators, and listening to Final Fantasy battle music remixes. Vexed to be an American. ✊

I have shared this story, this thread, before - but I think given the state of the world, it's worth telling once again. Maybe it can help, especially if like me, you make art, and you wonder what the use of all of it is right now.

In a brilliant innovation, #Arcanaclysm now has FIVE (5) item hotkey slots for easy access to all your immediate item needs! This is a 500% increase compared to certain AAA competitors! #gamedev #indiedev #GameMaker #EchoesOfWisdom

Cyberpunk hacking RPG where perks are represented by stickers on your laptop lid. Powerful stickers are big so you have to rotate/position them carefully. Rare stickers are holographic. You can buy sticker booster packs, or you can peel them off other laptops. Can also trade with the local urchins

Commissions are open! Currently accepting 5 at a time, will update my page as slots fill up. If you have any questions, please ask! #promosky #art #artist #commission #plug #OCsky

Hey artists of bluesky, it's been a while since I've actually taken a commission, what are the rates you charge right now? The economy has changed so much since my last one and I don't want to overcharge or be taken advantage of. #art #artist #advice

I added shadows for a 15 minute dungeon. Also there's a weird cat. #gamedev #gamemaker
