Just realising ponpai sounds like ka pai, which means "good/well done" in te reo. I mean, uh, this was totally intentional and I'm a bilingual genius 😎 #indiedev #indiegame

It's Polgrowth! "They've been around for so long that they've become overgrown with vegetation. They wave the flags on their tails with pride, but not even they remember what the symbol represents." #indiedev #indiegame #creaturecollector

There's a brand new Ponpai update! We've got: 🏙 A whole city area with a hospital, a laundromat, and a video store! 🦴 Two new sidequests! 📺 Three new ponpai (plus a secret fourth one found in one of the sidequests)! Try it out! ponpai.itch.io/ponpai-proto... #indiedev #indiegame #creaturecollector

Adding an underground laundromat to Ponpai. I don't quite remember why or how I came up with this, but it's cool so I'll allow it. #indiedev #indiegame

What started as a quick playtest of my latest sidequest has become whack-a-mole of completely unrelated bugs. #indiedev #indiegame

It's Burnver! "They tear down and devour trees to fuel their ever-burning tails. Despite their association with fire, they most commonly live near lakes and streams." #indiedev #indiegame #creaturecollector

It's Beelect! "If they find a beehive, honey jar, or any food with honey in it, they'll suck it out using the hands stored in their kneecaps. They create a new child when they fill up." #indiedev #indiegame #creaturecollector

I love making Ponpai. It's the perfect place for dumb jokes like this. #indiedev #indiegame

I've added brain rot to Ponpai! #indiedev #indiegame (... I haven't shared a screenshot of the battle stage here yet, have I? 😅)

It's Vachyderm! "These critters suck up dust using their long trunks. It was once said they constructed minions out of the collected dust, but this is a myth. They just eat dust." #indiedev #indiegame #creaturecollector

The most important overworld sprite I've ever had to draw #indiedev #indiegame

It's Scrubarush! "Squirrels made of toothpaste. They collect baby teeth and store them in their homes for the winter. If only they left behind money as well..." #indiedev #indiegame #creaturecollector

I'm working on a sidequest that involves a ponpai (haven't decided who yet) having a visible mouth. And I'm now realising how few of them have visible mouths 😅 #indiedev #indiegame

Please enjoy one of the sickest pieces of pixel art I've ever seen: "Amiga Lagoon" by Jim Sachs (~1993)

My sister has gotten super into Cassette Beasts lately so I took some of her own original monster-catching-game designs and did a lil style mashing! Meet Ponpai. #cassettebeasts #ponpai #pixelart #aseprite ponpai.itch.io/ponpai-proto...

ponpai.itch.io/ponpai-proto... The Ponpai prototype has a brand new update out NOW! It has the brand new Chapter 6, some wonderful sidequests, and a whole bunch of new ponpai to meet! Come check it out! #indiedev #indiegame #creaturecollector

🌊 Top-down? Side-scrolling? Why not both!🌊 Alterspective (the #1 public vote winner in the Rising Tide Challenge!) is an open world puzzle adventure where perspective is your greatest power. Slice through space, chain abilities and break boundaries to solve what shouldn’t be solvable.

I'm ready to release my next update, but the whole itch.io situation makes me a bit weary. Might hold off until things have calmed down at least 😢

Yesterday I was tearing myself up trying to work out if my queer games & community journalism had a future with *gestures at everything* But it's more important than ever to be speaking up. With our art, our platforms, our shared spaces We will make things better, it's just not an easy fight 🔥

A co-worker request must be part of work, right? 🧶

Meet me at gamescom (August 20th-24th) in Hall 10.2 at Home of Indies. Play the latest demo with all the newest stuff including SOULBLAZE TRANSFORMATIONS 🥳 Oh, and you get a code for this gamescom event starter! #gamedev #indiedev #soulblaze #godot #gamescom #gaming

It's Snowder! "They enjoy gathering in groups of three, disguising themselves as snowmen and scaring passersby. The coal pips are actually eyes, even the ones forming the mouth." #indiedev #indiegame #creaturecollector

Borgors #indiedev #indiegame

Very close to finishing up chapter 6 for the prototype. I'm so excited to show you all! #indiedev #indiegame
