My cat, Zelda, is a Halloween decoration.

Finding treasure in Kitty Cat Castle just got a lot more epic due to this absolutely incredible "God Rays" shader by Leo_Volcano: godotshaders.com/shader/pixel... #godot #gamedev #indiedev

(Salt-N-Pepa) let’s talk about Tex Mex, please Let’s talk about meat and cheese Let’s talk about all the good meals and the bad meals With nice beans

Today, my kids did a Kitty Cat Castle playtest. They found numerous bugs and difficulty spikes that I was utterly blind to. I've played the game so much while developing that it seems easy, but some spots were just way too challenging for them, especially for a first dungeon zone. #gamedev #godot

Here's a T. Rex bored to death trying to bite their own tail. My partner asked me to animate it in stop motion, after she watched a video about the very important topic of "could T. Rex chew its own tail like a dog". The puppet is still a work in progress 🦖

Tons of new updates to Kitty Cat Castle! 1. New dungeon music courtesy of cynicmusic via opengameart.org 2. Three new enemies: A bat, a cutie mobile rock-block, and a walking seed. 3. Color-coded keys that follow the player Mario-style until you touch a corresponding lock block. #gamedev #indiedev

Peachtober Day 10: Critter Down to the wire, but I managed to finish. Already drew slug guy. Didn't want another NPC with little animals next to them, so I went with "Critter" as in "someone who crits!" A tall assassin for the Crimson Needle. #peachtober2025 #octoberchallenge #day10 #pixelart

Peachtober Day 9: Rope An executioner dangling a noose. #peachtober2025 #octoberchallenge #day9 #pixelart

Me looking at a sale on Steam:

Just got the 100% true ending for Death's Door! Took a little over 15 hours. Lucky for me, I didn't miss many seeds or seed pots as I made my way through it. This game really scratched that Metroidvania/Old School Zelda itch, and the vibe of all the characters was so fun!

Peachtober Day 8: Leaf. I decided to draw a statue, wearing only a stone leaf to cover the bits. ;) #peachtober2025 #octoberchallenge #day8 #pixelart

Peachtober Day 7: Strawberry A "Jam Witch" with long green hair, wearing tiny spectacles on the bridge of her nose. A jar of strawberry jam hovers over her left palm. #peachtober2025 #octoberchallenge #day7 #pixelart

Crunt [krunt] (n.) - A blow on the head with a club. Used in a sentence: “Elbert, having been the unlucky recipient of a crunt during yesterday’s ballgame with the neighborhood boys, awoke to find a most inconvenient lump he’d soon have to justify to his fretful mother.”

[gestures narrowly]

My wife texted me this morning and said, "Your great." I replied: “No, you're great." She's been in a great mood ever since. I should correct her grammar more often.

Peachtober Day 6: Ring. A rotund man in a blue suit and red tie, with rings encircling his hat, waist, and fingers. #peachtober2025 #octoberchallenge #day6 #pixelart

More like sees the day and goes back to bed amiright

Peachtober Day 5: Poppy. I tried to put a ribbon of poppies in her hair, and one on her top, but it was a bit hard to do at this resolution! #peachtober2025 #octoberchallenge #day5 #pixelart

Oh, my. Be VERY careful trusting rando "artists" lurking on bsky. All you need to say is "hire [blah blah] artist" and the scammers and bots will descend like flies to warm shit. Out of 19 in my DMs, ONE was legit; the rest were thirsty grifters. I almost fell for it. Stay a while, and listen…

Peachtober Day 4: Gingham. #peachtober2025 #octoberchallenge #day4 #pixelart

Peachtober Day 3: Slug! #peachtober2025 #octoberchallenge #day3 #pixelart (a day late, but yesterday was my son's birthday, so I have an excuse)

*me, as an extrovert* don’t worry, I’ll talk for you

SAG-AFTRA putting out a statement that says, "The union is opposed to the replacement of human performers by synthetics," is the most Blade Runner thing I never expected to read in 2025.

letting out a startled gasp every time I encounter another decoration my wife has placed around the house for halloween

This year, I overheard my kids design a game to play using their imagination. So, I paused working on the RPG I'd been making to turn "Kitty Cat Castle" real. It's a metroidvania-lite where a cat defends their castle from aliens. This thread is about my experience so far #godot #gamedev #indiedev

Peachtober Day 2: Kite! #peachtober #peachtober2025 #day2 #pixelart #octoberchallenge

I need a ton of unique NPCs for one of my games, so I figured, "Let's do a daily October drawing challenge!" I found a cute list called Peachtober from Furry Little Peach that suits my needs. I have a 32x32 sprite size limit. Day one: Acorn #peachtober #octoberchallenge #pixelart #day1

Same as it ever was…

quick while the government is shut down let’s all switch to metric

OMFG I'M DED

David Cross folks.

Zelda is giving Autumn cat vibes today.

Today I learned that Totino's has a new line called Totino's Ultimate, which sounds like you're getting something extra, but in reality, the original Totino's pizza rolls use fake mozzarella cheese (what is it, plastic?) and the new Ultimate ones use real cheese.

Hi Internet! I'm Drew and THIS IS MY FACE. If this GIF has ever brought you joy in the past, I humbly ask you to consider making a donation to the National MS Society. It would mean a lot to me and to those I know affected by the disease! Donate at blinkingguy.com

Making your own chicken stock is seriously a cheat code. Every chef, food YouTuber, and Grandma has said this over and over, but I just never did it, content to buy the boxed stuff. I would also throw away vegetable scraps. My internal monologue convinced me it was too much hassle to bother. 🧵👇

STICK TO THE BOAT, is your true motto in whaling; but cases will sometimes happen when LEAP FROM THE BOAT, is still better.

me: Tylenol is woke. wife: Uh… what? me: [feverishly scribbling "catch these NSAIDs, sucka" on a box of extra-strength ibuprofen] Tylenol is woke now.

Happy Monday, Bluesky! Yesterday, I added some fun little blue butterflies to Kitty Cat Castle! These behave like the fairies from Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past; they follow a random path and fully heal the Kitty when picked up. #pixelart #indiegame

What's the matter babe you've barely touched your event horizon ribs

There should be a day between Sunday and Monday called Just Kidding…

What lies deep in the forest, beyond the ouchie vines? After acquiring the scissors from Snippy the Alien boss, Kitty can finally delve into the deadly Tangled Keep… Kitty Cat Castle, the game my kids dreamed up, is really starting to take shape! #gamedev #indiedev #godot #videogame

THIS ANIMATION IS SO INSANE

hell yeah
